Yuki Tsunoda, for getting into the points at his home Grand Prix.

Sainz was excellent again - saw him make the move on Russell at Spoon (it's funny how much difference in speed you can see in the braking zone in person between two cars) and his move on Leclerc on a big telly on our way back round the circuit. I'm going to go with a bit of sentiment here in Japan, though, for Tsunoda. Excellent comeback and calm drive to get a well-earned point at home.

Yuki for me, with kudos to Leclerc for making a different strategy work, plus of course Carlos had another great race.
Yuki got my vote though..... he had a great weekend, Q3 and then a points finish in his home race and thousands of fans. Oh and some great round the outside passes to boot. Who needs DRS, not Yuki! |

Leclerc for me - making the one-stop strategy (almost) work when others simply couldn't do it was mighty.
Honourable mention to Perez for that pass on Hamilton into 130R - that was full-bore. |

Yuki for me. Feisty and determined. Kudos to Carlos, the real Ferrari #1 beats his #2 teammate once again.

I can't get why Tsunoda gets so many votes. He came 10th in an almost-Red Bull. Carlos Sainz gets my vote for speed, tyre management and being first non-Red Bull.

An RB is definitely NOT a Red Bull made by the mafioso.. And Honda is kept sweet, for when Mr Tsunoda takes Mr Stroll’s race seat.. |

Like others here it came down to either Tsunoda or Sainz. Tsunoda got the nod, some great passes and he picked up the only points slot that is up for grabs if everyone stays reliable (Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Alonso take up 9 places - leaving one points slot for the others to squabble over).

Tsunoda made some great passes and deserves the praise. However I'm giving it to Max for his flawless drive

Yuki - for a point in his home GP. But if it was not his home GP, I would have gone for one of the Ferrari drivers probably.

Despite the brave achievement of others, Pole. fastest lap and the win means something. My vote goes to Max. Still looking forward to someone beating him.

Currently the best driver in currently the best car and with a powerful self-belief that he can take pole and win every race. That's a pretty unbeatable combination.

Nando, for having the strategic brain and the technical ability to put the Aston in the position it finished.

How did it make it easier? He qualified 5th ahead of both Mercs, Hamilton 7th, Russell 9th and got a good start and restart. Mercedes did pick the wring strategy but I don't see how that had any bearing on Alonso. |

Merc seem to have forgotten how to run a great strategy. Maybe frustration is clouding their judgement and that's why they are making so many mistakes in strategy
