I'm going for Trulli. He did an excellent job. You couldn't have expected more, in my opinion.

We all know the Brawn is the class of the field in car terms, but Jenson made sure it was untouchable. A fantastic flawless drive.

hard to argue against Button but car obviously superior...Webber superb but helped by errors from 3 guys....Rosberg probably his best drive ever.
dead heat but give it to Potsy coz I can't vote for 2 or 3 |

Webber! Sticking it to the young upstart.
He must win a GP this year. Seriously. |

Didn't vote for Webber today, he had a poor start, and wasted his second row advantage.
Vettel, absolute numbskull! Ruined his own race and then had a big cry in the press conference because he had to stay behind Webber - it was your fault you went off the track loser! Almost as immature as this post of mine. Now I've vented. Complete respect for Button today. Pure class from the start, and showed everyone else how its done. Great mature drive with tremendous pace. |

I tried to find a reason not to vote for Button, but couldn't. Fine drive, but was not seriously pushed. Would've liked to see Vettel stay on Button's gearbox.

Has to be Button.
Totally in control. Seemed to be playing with Vettel, letting him catch up while preseving tyres up until SebV ran out of time to make a serious attempt at getting past. It is getting predictable though. Webber and apart from his first lap slip Vettel deserve hon. mentions too. Rosberg did very well, getting a lot closer to doing what Williams has promised all season and comiserations to Nakajima, was doing a very good job until that pit stop. Ferrari fell short of promised improvement. Cheers Peter |

You had better remind Rubens of that!
Button for winning in style (I particularly liked the wiggle down the finish straight - worth 10/10 on it's own) and Rubens 10/10 for entertainment. He made such a good rear-gunner for MS and helped him to many victories - yet he seems to leave JB to do it all on his own, which makes him look bad and Jenson look even better! |

Historically I have not voted for the winner because they tend to be the person in the best car, not the one who does sonething special or out performes the equipment.
This year, though, Button has proved the exception to my rule, again. He was well above anyone else. |

Nakajima did a very good job but was screwed by his pitcrew.

Kimi,
I voted for him so his name won't be completely forgotten. |

Another vote for Button here, he was just superb.
Honourable mentions to Webber and Rosberg. |

Vettel for me. He showed maturity by not disobeying and going after Mark. Just another step to the world championship.

Let's just say I am on the verge of writing Kimi Raikkonen off. Remember the Merc days when he would start at the back of the grid and end up on the podium rain or shine?
Is the Ferrari really that bad? Will he ever be voted DoTR again? |

It's a lot easier to say Kimi than Räikkönen. I would not even know how to say it correctly! Even his own F3 team, which is correctly known as Räikkönen Robertson Racing is usually referred to as Double R Racing.
He normally goes quite well at Silverstone and especially at Spa, but this year it's very much down to the car. |
