Hamilton for a fast fantastic weekend ,and Kimi,for a brilliant drive .I now think Kimi is back in the groove,mind you I did tell him on FB ,that if he was not on the podium I would kick his ass !

The Lotus was the best car out there today and I think McLaren gambled on qualification more than race pace knowing how difficult it is to pss here. Saying that, he did a great job controlling the race and managing his tyres.

Kimi drove fantasticly today and gets joint driver of the day. They were both the class of the field.

Kimi & Hamilton were the drivers of the race for me. Senna also drove the best race of his F1 career.

Aside from those at the front I'd echo nominations for Senna and Pic.

Senna may not have the win but he's gathering good points for Williams and this time he improved his qualifying performance.

Pic is showing very well against an experienced teammate and doing everything he can with the tools at his disposal.

Kimi! Kimi!

I said earlier about Pic. People joke and often ignore the 2 back teams but Pic has done a great job this season and could well get a chance at a better team. Although I am not sure who.

Agreed, he did a good job as he's been doing much of this season. Not that anyone would notice.

Otherwise Kimi and Lewis. If I had to pick one I'd pick Kimi who had KERS problems for most if not all of the race.

Driver of the race, probably the obvious one - Hamilton. Honourable mentions again to Grosjean. He obviously backed off in the latter part of the race but kept some speed in reserve to hold off Vettel. I dont mention Kimi, because his move on Grosjean IMO was a tad aggressive considering they are team mates, and TBH I expected him to hunt down hamilton and overtake him at the end of the race. Still a very good performance from Kimi, and I still hope he can get a win by the end of the season.

I forgot about the lack of KERS. Never the less Kimi did a very good race today!

Where is this coming from?
Why is everyone saying it?

From the race, and what was said he only had the KERS issue for the first lap due to the two formation laps - or have I missed something?

I, too was hoping that Kimi had KERS problems throughout the race, yet Kimi said it was only during the first few laps (which didn't help him much).

I'd give it to Lewis as he drove very well.

Hamilton and the Lotus duo, though Grosjean loses a point or two for a bit of over-driving at times.

DotR goes to Hamilton and Kimi equally. Both were supreme. No wonder Kimi was Lewis' favourite driver before he got into F1 ;-)

Honourable mention to Senna (keeps doing a good job and bringing in points), Alonso (increased his lead at the overall table despite not having the fastest car) and Pic (showing some good signs).

Groosjean is showing some good signs as well, but today he lacked that killer instinct. Nevertheless he's doing extremely well being (essentially) a novice and having a WDC as his teammate.

Kimi just pips Lewis for me as he came from further back to challenge for the lead and the move on his team mate was robust with out contact. Lewis did good driving from the front and maintaining the lead, saving his tyres.

Hamilton closely followed by Raikkonen. Both were clearly in a class of their own yesterday.

Is he the one to challenge Alonso in the end?

Difficult to look past Lewis and Kimi, Lewis shades it for being so fast in qually and holding off the arguably faster cars on race day. Massive mention to Senna for me, good qually and a very strong race, and for a bit who has been underperforming he is just 5 points behind Pastor (who got 25 of his 29 in one race) and just 1 behind Massa. Senna is having some pretty consisitent race results, and if Hungary is a sign of improving qualification I could imagine him passing Pastor soon. That said, had Pastor not thrown away Australia and Valencia with last lap cock ups he could be looking a lot smarter

I always thought 'driver of the race' meant just that, which makes Kimi that man imo. Remember this track is notoriously difficult to pass on and so by Hamilton/McLaren doing such a great job in qualifying on saturday, unless they had made a poor error in judgement with regards to tyre wear, their race pace was good enough to make a Hamilton win, pretty much, a foregone conclusion.

Driver of the weekend- Hamilton, great qualy performance and the correct decision by McLaren to opt for qualy pace but at the same time acheive a good balance between the two. Lewis didn't do anything wrong and managed his tyres very well but compared to the rest of the drivers on the grid, his job was the easiest and doesnt quite deserve the accolade of...

Driver of the race- No question, Its got to be Kimi, It seems that Lotus either opted for race pace or maybe dont quite have the same luxury McLaren have which forced their hand. Either way, Kimi drove superbly, the very best he could have in these circumstances.

The Lotus has a problem with it's KERS in general and cn only hrvest about 2/3 of the energy of some of the others which IMHO makes the Lotus the best car out there in my opinion. If they ever get that KERS 100% then it's going to be a vey difficult car to beat. All that bleating and moaning by Renault has worked in their favour it seems http://www.motorsportforums.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
