Nah. Hamilton. Kept the pressure on until it mattered, and didn't crack afterwards.

My opinion, obviously, others are available but mine is right

Alonso & Ferrari, wonderful decision at the beginning to keep the title alive, then Hamilton who stopped Vettel from picking his championship early. Hopefully Alonso will win it next weekend

Yeah I think probably Hamilton for passing Webber and Vettel after Vettel was expected to dominate the race. Even though it was only because of the "idiot" backmarker, doubt Hamilton would ever have got past him after that.

Then Massa for coming from 11th to 4th and only seven seconds behind Alonso. Alonso got lucky at the start as the rest fumbled around on the inside, he was in the right place, but he would have got up to 3rd regardless of what happened to them, as he had the car pace. Massa though was still 10th after the first lap and had to actually pass everyone.

I don't like seeing Button get DOTR, but he came from 15th on the first lap to 5th, that was pretty good.

Schumacher 5th to 16th, I wonder if the car was having problems. He'll be looking forward to retiring I'd say.

Felipe for out-qualifying his team-mate by a country mile and then coming in very close to him after the team forced him to shift backwards.

Very nearly Kimi for that single balls-out move on Hulkenberg through the "Maggots-Becketts" complex, but it didn't quite come together in the end. Very good from Lewis as well

I thought the Kimi move was good too. And I liked how Kimi raced. He could overtake and knew how to be overtaken. Great battle with Button too. I would like to vote Kimi, but I think it will have to be Lewis, because he's French.

DOTR- Hamilton for actually passing Vettel, I tire of him driving away while Webber holds back his competitors. Hamilton passed both of them. Double Red Bull passing made me smile. Massa and Alonso had good races as well. And Button also. Ricciardo drove up to 5th on hard tires, but he fell back after his stop. It was a good race.

Hamilton drove well (with help), Vettel did all he possibly could (without help), Button, Ricciardo good too and Raikonnen had no luck (from his team) but settled on the bloke who decided the race result.

For perhaps confirming to us that the alternator issues could be the reason his KERS fails every chance it gets...

There is always next year

I gave it to Hamilton, because he did drive exceptionally well, but I don't think he would have got past Vettel if Seb hadn't been delayed by Karthikeyan, but I guess that's the rub of the green.

Apparently Kimi has broken a couple of records today. The most number of consecutive race finishes (19) in a season and the greatest number of racing miles covered. Not a bad comeback.

The Lotus race report is interesting: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/104381

Vettel without help???? I think having a Red Bull is quite a lot of help actually.

Hamilton driver of the race for me. His unique lines through the fast sweeps kept him in touch with the Red Bull, only to lose out to the better traction of the Red Bull at the start of the straight and in the tight section. Getting past Vettel's wing-man early was also key.
Magnificent drive.

It was a toss-up between Button and Felipe, and I went with Button, as he was looking so lonely on this poll.

After all those bonehead moves in 2007-09, pushing too hard when he could only lose, lying to the stewards, and all that bad-mouthing of and disrespect to the team, publicly over the radio and on camera, I don't know that I can give Lewis a DOTR award!

The same goes for Alonso, after threatening blackmail on Ron Dennis, the mess at Singapore in 2008, and then there's something about his attitude and vibe that just rubs me the wrong way!

(And I hope Vettel gets his third title, putting him in indisputable company with Brabham, Stewart, Lauda, Piquet, and Senna! It's NOT the car! There are clearly some people who just don't like him, and I see NO fathomable reason WHY there would be THAT MUCH vitriol towards him! Three-in-a-row for Vettel, and let the doubters weep and gnash their teeth!)

I voted for Hamilton but memorable races have been driven by both Massa and Button. Surely a Felipe Massa in this shape will be an asset to any team.
