Very tempting to give it to Kimi, however Kubica DID pass 2 cars in one move!

I thought that was Heidfeld who got past DC and Alonso?

Trulli impressed me and Kimi perhaps, but he didn't really do anything but drove two fast laps in the race. Rest of the times he was saving his engine.

Kimi for me

Wow!? What?! No Trulli for you after such performance? What does he have to do to get your vote then?

[Faungarne]

For me Kimi,Kubica,Trulli,Webber and Heidfeld.

I want a podium from him and a little more aggressiveness on track

Wow I feel retarded...that's what I get for staying up 'till 5am watching it and then commenting while I am still tired. Lol. I guess I need to go back and re-watch the race.

Ok, Kimi it is.

Perhaps not driver of the GP, as markabilly says, but my input for driver of the year so far is Nick Heidfeld.
Joint 2nd after two races is great, and without a bad first 5 corners in Malaysia, and setting a fastest lap late on, NH could have been on the podium with Kubica.
I predict this partnership if continued next year could win the championship - what about other views?

I agree with you. He had a wonderful start and was set to take 3rd behind the Ferrari's until Trulli made contact and pushed him wide.

I dont get you ioan. If youre a Ferrari supporter, how can you NOT think of Kimi as the man of the race? He drove faultlessly, was very quick when needed and then saved his engine when everything was decided already. To me thats perfect. To me thats MS as his best.

And yet you choose to hail Nick? He lost to his teammate. He let Jarno Trulli take him to the first corner. Yes he got the fastest lap when it meant absolutely nothing.

It seems to me Nick will have his hands full this year with Kubica, who at times looks very fast and doesnt make mistakes. As you so well know there are drivers on the grid who can be very fast but who also make mistakes regularly. Those guys will never really win anything.

[DoctoNilsonDen]

I'd say Kimi for driving faultlessly this time - in the beginning, he patiently followed Massa and then put the hammer down when it mattered most.

Kovalainen was also quite impressive, improving five positions from his grid position and being quicker than his team-mate throughout much of the week-end.

Honorable mention going to Trulli for not falling asleep after half-time for once and instead putting up a spirited defense against Hamilton in the last couple of laps.

[Unoloknovagog]

Sure Massa

Let's say that Winning by a mile in the best car without any passing move and so on isn't my thing.
Or maybe it's a sign of slight objectivity?
Or I simply liked how Heidfeld drove yesterday, passing 2 cars in one move and so on?!

Be assured, I never give my vote to any driver just because they win in the best car while driving at 99% of their capabilities.

[Jadldqys]

Sure Massa

smart choice!

wha? you just described michael and his favorite tactic. which used to drive me nuts watching him "passing" people without really passing people.
(long live montoya!!!! errr anyways) yet i have to say michael was brilliant at winning. like Dzeidzei posted kimi pulled a perfect michael shumacher GP i thought. when kimi was behind massa, he was on his arse, yet when massa was behind kimi.. massa couldn't keep up and faded into the gravel. kimi was da man!

[GZFL2tDA]

Kimi drove well but never really had much to worry about.

JT batted above his weight and got a good result.

Lewis battled well in the face of adversity getting from 9th to 5th and unfortunately dropped to 11th or something by a pit fault and then fighting back to 5th. Good spirited drive.

For me, I think Kimi deserves it for 100% owning the GP.

A sign of slight objectivity? Oh I see, you have a smiley there so thats a joke

I think youd call Massa the man of the year if he stays on track. Which I hope we´ll see this year. The prob for Massa now is that he´s starting to ruin Ferraris wcc campaign.

His place as the 2nd driver in the team is about as clear as it can get.

Is that slight objectivity for you?

What does your post have to do with the post you are replying to?
I was talking about Heidfeld and why I liked his drive in Sepang, than you come and start talking about Massa and Ferrari's WCC campaign!

And now the answer to your continuous drivel:
I was and am a Ferrari supporter, and will stay a Ferrari supporter. However I do manage to see that there are other drivers than the Ferrari drivers on the track. And if it happens that a non-Ferrari driver does a better job , given his equipment and conditions, than a Ferrari driver, then I'm willing to give him credit for that.

Heidfeld managed to salvage his own race after Trulli almost completely ruined it. He passed MW and FA on the track, and posted the fastest lap of the race while not driving the fastest car out there! And thus he's 2nd in the standings at the moment!

This is my view of it. You don't like it? So be it, but don't come with rubbish about Massa and Ferrari's WCC campaign, that has nothing to do with Heidfelds good race!

[ptolerezort]

Calm down ioan, and remember that most of us are here to have good time

[sharpyure]

NickHick? I thinketh if passing two cars at once is the criteria, yes, otherwise NOT. Beemer best car behind Ferrari in this race? Yes.

[ashleyjoseph]

Kimi. Everyone else is just a loser on the day. The driver of the day is the guy who accomplishes what he's employed to do, WIN.

Well, some of the people around here are making that a bit difficult.

[VistaULTIMATEdownloadaPro]

You are bit simplistic there.
If Kimi, Felipe, Lewis, Heiki, Nick or Robert wins from pole, 2nd or 3rd on the grid and Sato gets in the points from last on the grid, I'll award it to Sato any day!
