Surely that should be Burrito. Tortilla would be the first-placed driver and Rosbif the third.

Perez is the obvious choice here I have to really handed to Vergne. Impressive with inters on a really wet track when everyone else were on wets. This only his first time on an F1 car. Clean race in traffic most of the race where others were driving like amateurs. Special mention to Senna as well.

That much is true and we have to hope that they get real chances like Perez to shake up the order a bit and cause the established stars to look to their laurels.....

Perez. When we all look back on his career when he retires, they'll be showing this race as a the first time he showed the world what he could do. He's so suited to the current formula that he's a dead cert front runner in the future.
Alonso's performance was commendable, but for Perez to even be in with a chance of catching him... Can't wait to see what happens with these young drivers, this next generation look every bit as talented as the current crop. |

Hans and Gingers are great comments.
Checo's drive kind of reminded me of Senna at Monaco, Vettel at Monza and JPM at Interlagos, all different circumstances etc but there was a similar huge notice of 'christ, here's a driver' written on all those and Checo's performances? |

Perez for me, I can remember a certain Mr Vettel losing first place on the last lap as well !

Alonso for me. The Ferrari should have been nowhere near winning the race.
Perez made a great drive and he has definitely arrived. But ultimately he made errors that cost him a race that he should have won. |

Voted Perez without a minutes hesitation, but surprised how overwhelming his victory here is......
I agree several other noteworthy drives - Vergne in particular looks a good prospect! Disappointed in Vettel's comments about "idiots"....as far as I could see the only idiot in that situation was the one who chopped unnecessarily in front of the car he'd overtaken and punctured his rear tyre on its front wingplate......"spoiled brat" springs to mind! |

But he has such a wonderful demeanour and likes Little Britain and stuff.
I wonder what has got under his skin... |

I have to wonder what the final positions would have been had Perez not been given that radio message.

First of all, I must say how impressed I am by all the drivers - really tough conditions out there today.
Perez was my DOTR, and it needed to be a hell of a drive to pip Alonso as my driver of the race, who was flawless. |

Considering neither Alonso or Perez would be considering as having a chance in heck of winning this thing, it was a tough decision.
But Alonso kept his cool and Perez lost it in a corner, so it has to be Alonso for me!! Amazing result! |

I wanted to vote Alonso, but no matter how bad that Ferrari is it cant be much worse than the Sauber. Great drive from Perez, fastest man on track for the majority of the race.

Ofcourse, the Driver of the race was Checo, but give Narain a break. Two drivers drive into him and it's all his fault!! Go to Specsavers, the pair of you. |

Alonso for me. He drove a perfect race maximizing the potential of a pretty crappy car. What more can one ask? Perez was a very close second, but his mistake at the end cost him the race, and the driver of the race for me.

While Vettel hasn't committed murder those comments where low-class not befitting a multiple WC. I think Vettel needs a bit of self examination regarding his own racecraft and stop lashing out at easy targets.

Alonso closely followed by Perez and Senna for me. Di Resta also did a good job.
