Ferrari managed to salvage what they needed, again despite Vettel's best efforts. However, since it was as much a win for Ferrari as a failed gamble by Mercedes, Renault's clear result as best of the rest get them my vote.

Renault. They were clearly the best of the rest and that was not even close. Merc dropped the ball, Ferrari had a win, but Seb should have been closer, and Red Bull lost Ricciardo again with some failure (Can't the guy catch a break?)

For the first time in *ages*, I've gone for Ferrari.
They've obviously got their bottle back

Ferrari moved up a gear. The car was fast and there were no team mistakes (unusual!) so they are my winners.
Renault upped their pace to a clear best-of-the-rest, so full marks to them too. It's funny how the Renault engine is much more reliable in a Renault chassis than in a Red Bull.

Could not go with Ferrari.... thanks to their lead driver, earning needless penalties and showing limited lap 1 ability again. Could not give it to Merc as they dropped the bundle strategically. Red Bull had another fail, so as it was an electrical issue not an engine blowup I gave it to Renault for best of the rest double points finish.

Ferrari for me. SV messed up but the team did fantastic on the day to help Kimi take the race and sort of keeping the Constructors championship alive.

Tricky.....Not sure that Ferrari did have the right strategy, but since Mercedes managed to cock it up more than Ferrari did, the prancing horse gets it

Half a vote for Ferrari, but Vettel's fast disappearing racecraft let them down. I'm going Renault as well.

Tricky.
Ferrari - 50% of the driving talent let them down. Mercedes - Got the strategy wrong and Bottas was nowhere. Red Bull - Could have won if Ricciardos car went the distance. Renault - "best of the rest" - but they were slower than one of their customer teams Haas - A DNF and DSQ not a great result for your home gp Torro Rosso - Qualified reasonably well but seemed to go backwards in the race. Force India - Having a car disqualified for a technical infringement is not a good thing. Sauber - Did they do anything? Largely invisible as I recall. Williams - Squabbling with McLaren over last place. McLaren - Another dismal performance from the WoeKing squad. I could do with a "None of the above" option for this race. |
