Well I'm biased towards Ferrari and MS, but still I'll give it to Vettel for salvaging 4th with a broken car.

[legal-advicer]

Alonso for me. To win your first race with the Ferrari, to overtake Massa to the start, to shadow Vettel and to use the one weakness of the Red Bull - drive of the day IMO.

It hurts me a lot, but I would have to give it to Vettel. He learnt how to deal with the broken car and by the end was very fast with it.

Vettel, followed by Alonso and Massa.

To me it's almost funny that two of the top teams have changed drivers (Mclaren, Ferrari) and yet the difference is hardly noticeable. Ferraris are still evenly matched and the other Mclaren is nowhere compared to Hamilton.

That's a brave statement!

Vettel drove well in the end but why was he so slow and inconsistent when the exhaust first broke? His times were all over the place.

I don't think there was a standout performance really so I'll give it Alonso for the win on his Ferrari debut.

Exactly what was expected.

Alonso. Great to see Massa back as well.

He had to find the best way to drive with the broken exhaust, try out different trajectories in order to brake latter and keep more speed through the corners so that he doesn't lose so much under acceleration.
It is 100% normal to have his times all over the place while he was experimenting.

It was like with Kimi at france in 2008, where at first his times suffered a lot, but by end he was already showing much better pace.

[gabbaman]

Alonso.

BTW, WELL DONE for Lewis. He demolished Jenson, the reigning champion, finished ahead of both Merc GP cars and at times ran with the pace with the first three drivers.

[Jxmwzgpv]

Alonso. A perfect race, as you would expect from him.

Great champion, he is.

I think the driver of the race was Fernando Alonso, he was pretty much flawless. Vettel did well until his exhaust failed and Massa had a very good return.

Just what I was thinking

[Mymnnarry]

Vettel - no question. With a car as reportedly hard on its tyres as the Bull he pulled out easily and looked in control until the fragile car let him down - again!

Honorable mentions to Kubica for about the only action we saw all race.

[Theariwinna]

Massa - what he had to go through over the last 6 months he's not "rusty" it was a solid drive it was as if Hungary accident never happened.

[arindiruppya]

Vettel. A strong performance overall and it displayed he could cope with the change in fortune..

[ggdfgtdfffhfyj]

Alonso, he stayed close to Vettel, passed Massa early, then threw in some fast laps to discourage Massa.

All in all a great job from him.
