I can find compelling reasons not to vote for any of them today. I gave my vote to Ricciardo, despite the fact he was beaten by his teammate on teh track.

Quite conflicted.....saw that the Driver of the Day according to the Sky coverage was Vettel, but his petulant, arrogant and out-of-control behaviour at the end ruled him out for me.......Quite tempted to say Verstappen, but his misjudgement in not following the team advice to cede the place ultimately lost him two places.......

So I've gone for Ricciardo for his determined chase after Vettel after his tyre-stop.....real press-on racing

I got a good laugh out of vettels shenanigans today. Whether is was cursing out backmarkers, charlie, verstappen... I vote him driver of the day for making me laugh during an F1 race. It's rare that drivers can do that these days
We have to have atleast one driver who's not afraid to provide colored commentary on the radio!

Everyone had a reason not to be voted ... so I gave it to Massa for holding a Mexican behind him for so long in Mexico, and walking away fro, the circuit alive and healthy!

Hulkenberg.

Very solid week-end, strong pace and racecraft, yet didn't even rant about the Raikonen move and took things on the good side, which means solid mental too.

It's a tricky one.

Max : Pure entertainment value. It was quite a dull race - only at the end did it become alive. The late lunge at Nico was quite brave and didn't work out. Then it all got a bit messy. The tussle is Vettel. I'll give him credit for having a go - which in modern DRS F1 seems tricky at this circuit. But, perhaps a little too rash.

Vettel : Determined drive. His radio messages. He doesn't seem to like backmarkers? Remember back to his little fight with Lewis at Austin 2011? I wonder what he would have been like in the pre-blue flag era? Also telling Charlie Whitling to go : "**** him self!" It seems that his tangle with Riccardio was a mistake and that cost him the podium. I wonder what his radio message are like today - after having his podium taken away from him?

Riccardio : The next "Shoemacher"? Get it? Okay, actually a solid get your head down drive from him - and it showed his strategy was paying off. Even got a podium - although had to wait for it.

So, on balance - I'm giving it to Danny.

Ericsson.

Recovered from being involved in the first lap incident and made the strategy work, just missing out on point. The best race of his career

It was Hulkenberg or Ericsson to me. In the end I chose Ericsson. He's much better than Nasr this year, which is a surprise.

I have to vote Vettel because without his bull crap the race would have been a 4 instead of a 6
(Ricciardo should have been it otherwise)
