Voted Maldonado, because without him, this race wouldn't have ended so well!

Ricciardo this one, he did a fantastic job beating Vettel, and coming back from 13th to 4th, with a Renault engine in this track that does not suit the car at all.

Lots of teammates battles seem close this season, the hype's gone out off the roof after today

Hamilton for a near perfect start and holding off Rosberg at the end.

Hamilton for me. I might have gone with Ricciardo, but he made a couple of mistakes, whereas Hamilton was pretty flawless today.

I'm thoroughly impressed with this new not-so-hot-headed Hamilton.

There was a lot of good driving but I went with Lewis. It's easy to vote for the guy that won, but it's not just as simple as that. He got the better start to take and defend the lead, and then after having his later lead of many seconds stolen by the safety car he managed to hold off Nico despite Nico having an enormous advantage between tires and DRS.

Hamilton, great job to hold off Nico and a fantastic drive for Driver Dan from 13th to 4th.

I haven't a clue who to give it to, a number of excellent drives from Loulou, Rosberg, Perez, Ricciardo, Bottas; possibly Ricciardo for coming from 13th after the grid penalty and Max Chilton finished again this time in 13th place. I'll decide later but Retard of the Race definitely goes to Maldonado.

Went with Ricciardo for the reasons already mentioned. Thought he worked his way up through the field well and stuffed Vettel (which gets extra points in my book). Pereze, Hamilton and Rosberg with stellar races as well.

Hamilton, Rosberg, Perez, Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, all drove outstanding races with Hamilton, Perez and Ricciardo achieving the most.

I gave it to Perez for proving all those who doubted if he was good enough wrong...

I tend to favour underdogs so this was Perez' turn.

Hard to argue against Lewis Hamilton, he absolutely drove the wheels off the car at the end.

Great drives from Perez and Riccairdo too

As did Vettel before Ric. Kimi and a couple of other drivers (McLaren maybe) were slowing down those behind them, and seemed specially hard to overtake for both RBRs, they finally did it when tyres gave up a bit on Kimi's car.

I gave it too Hamilton for a dominant win in Malaysia, but despite a great battle I didn't think he actually drove so well.

I just gave my vote to Daniel Ricciardo. 13th to 4th in a very competitive midfield against lots of Mercedes powered cars.

Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Sergio Perez, Nico Hulkenberg and Max Chilton all deserve big mentions too.

The last laps of the race made me adamantly decide for Hamilton as the best driver of the race.

I would normally have voted Perez or Chilton, but that was a phenomenal defensive race from Hamilton. I thought it was lost when the safety car came out. He is deservedly my driver of the race.

Hamilton for sheer dogged determination - not to mention a certain amount of skill - honourable mentions to most of the rest of the top 10 for a great race......

Lewis Hamilton for getting it right at every stage. Jaw-dropping racing.

Some other excellent drives, though. Rosberg put up strong opposition and when Perez gets a result, he knows how to get a big one.

This is a tough one. In the end, I gave it to Hamilton, mostly on the basis that I need a VERY good reason to give it to someone other than the winner.

Rosberg also drove exceptionally well and his close racing was a little bit cleaner that Lulu's. However he was helped by the Safety Car and still came second, so.... I'm surprised no-one has voted for him though. He deserves some votes for sure.

Perez was also a contender for getting himself and the team onto the podium, and comprehensively beating his highly-rated team-mate.

Then there was Desperate Dan. Another one to thrash his team-mate (a four times World Champion, no less) and he gained a lot of places from a lowly grid slot that wasn't of his making. Did I spot Helmut Marko in the back of the garage after the race, sticking pins in a little voodoo doll with huge teeth?

Hamilton, Perez, Ricciardo.

Hamilton because even though Rosberg may have been slightly faster, he still won and would have had a 10 sec advantage if not for the SC. Rosberg was disappointing, you get the 10s removed, much better tyres and every time he tried to pass Lewis he just couldn't get it done. There's no way if the situation was reversed, that Lewis wouldn't have got past Nico. His attempts at passing were too desperate.

Perez great for getting 3rd - FI hadn't been close to being the second fastest team in the last 2 rounds. Hulk did well to nearly match him though, despite qualifying much further back.

And then Ricciardo very well done in coming from behind and passing Seb. Seb just didn't seem to be on it this weekend, even though he was on the oldest tyres at the end, he never really looked faster than Ricciardo at any time in the race.

Would have given DOR to Ricciardo, if it hadn't been for the sheer determined quality of Hamilton's drive and defensive tactics.

Another strong drive from Chilton, up in 13th whilst his supposedly more talented team-mate gets involved in another clumsy incident.
