Hamilton was like pulling away from everyone with a big gap between him and the whole pack.
I would vote for Ericsson for bringing points to Sauber. He was close enough to Hülkenberg, but he couldn't catch up. Would vote for Vettel as he's the driver I support this season. Would also vote for Massa because he deserved that podium. It can be difficult for me to vote, if anybody knows?  Would've also gone for Räikkönen for recovering from a bad start. Or, if that bad start didn't happen for him, he would be on the podium or not. Therefore, my vote is on Hamilton. Last edited by TheNo1F1Fan; 6 Sep 2015 at 13:55. Reason: Would have voted for any other driver... |

I think I'll go for Ericsson, which I'm sure will be the first time I've done that. Clearly, the Sauber worked at Monza, but still..
Could have gone for Hamilton or Vettel though. Dominant over their team-mates, bad starts or not, although there was the question over Rosberg's engine all weekend. |

Questions over Rosberg's engine, but not his clutch. Another pathetic start, reminiscent of a certain Mark Webber
 Hamilton for me... |

Hamilton. Utterly commanding. Kudos to Kimi for a good comeback and to Massa for holding Bottas off at the end.

Fastest in qualy, fastest lap, able to turn the wick up on demand even when not understanding why, and winning by 25 seconds.......
Let me see, who could it be? I'll give an honourable mention to many of the younger drivers, particularly Verstappen, for proving that the "impossible" overtaking positions don't exist if you know how to brake and balance a car...... And a smack around the mouth to Hulkenberg for hyperbole - moaning that he had "no grip, no traction" whilst manifestly staying ahead of Ericsson, who was trying hard. |

A couple of good performances today :-
Vettel - decent job to 2nd. He does seem like Number 1 at Ferrari now. Sorry to say that, Kimi. Massa - He still can shine on his today. Outperforming his teammate. A superb podium for him. Button - He might have an absolute dog of a car - but he was fighting like anything to prevent being overtaken. Ericisson - Really decent performance from him. Verstappen - Another monster move from him. I think however, it has to be Mr. Blonde himself - Lewis Hamilton. He got the "grand slam"(pole, fastest lap, led every lap and win) for this race - and was 25 seconds ahead of the next car - despite the tyre pressure controversy. He just seemed to have it all under control here. |

Vettel. The Ferrari's clearly still not up there with Hamilton and his Mercedes but Vettel drove a very level headed race, did nothing stupid and got a well deserved 2nd spot on the podium.

Was expecting a bunch of Kimi fanboy votes since he passed a bunch of people and everyone loves him, so I was going to explain why it can't be Kimi. But no one has voted for him haha. Well he was about 0.5s a lap slower than Seb throughout the entire race, finishied over 40s behind and actually wasn't held up in traffic much at all. Even if he had started properly, he would have been racing the Williams in this race, and may not have actually beaten them.
In which case, Seb did very well. I don't think Nico was going to pass him - it took him what 30 laps to close 4 seconds? Might have been really running that engine hot as well to try and catch up, hence the blow. It seemed as soon as he got in the hot air of Seb, boom. He only had 2 passing attempts on Seb when he blew, and he wasn't yet within DRS. Hamilton did well and even clearly had some pace in hand which he showed at the end. Faster than Nico throughout, even though he didn't need to be. Ericsson did do a good job actually, well ahead of his more talented teammate Nasr. Though he did benefit from all the grid penalties. Perez did alright to beat his constantly whining teammate. Surprised the team didn't just tell Hulk to stfu and drive because Perez is creaming you. Ricciardo did alright to get up to 8th, towing Kyvat with him and leaving the Toro Rosso's behind. I don't think Verstappen did anything special, he was about 10-15s behind his 3 teammates in the beginning, once he'd got past the McLarens. I was looking forward to watching him catch them up so we could have a RB/TR train, but at the end of the race he was still 15s behind Sainz with RB further up the road. |

Razzor.......you posted before I voted. I only vote for the driver who deserves it and this time I voted for Kimi in this race.
I don't think you can truly compare lap times with a guy who is at the back of the grid compared to the guy near the front.... Last edited by F1Pete; 6 Sep 2015 at 23:37. |

Hamilton easily, but Ericsson surprised me in a big way, he has in the last three races really. Seems similar to last year in the Caterham, he started off a bit crap, way off his team-mate and you think 'why does this guy have an F1 seat?', then suddenly after the season's mid-point he starts banging in some properly decent performances.

Lewis, utterly superb and yes driver of the race but since he has a load of votes already, I'm going to give it to JB for proving one again that he is a proper racer and prepared to fight even in that dog of a car.

Good vote, John. Button basically had Alonso beat before his retirement.
