I think Alonso was pretty good getting the Ferrari home in 5th.

I went for Alonso too.
Kobayashi and Perez both did really well. But will Sauber slip back as other teams gain ground? Sauber are such a good team. They consistently start seasons well.
Button was brilliant.

There were quite a few good drives. As much as I really don't rate him, on lap 57 I would have voted Maldonado but then he decided to needlessly stuff it into the wall.
Alonso drove very well to get more than should be possible out a dog of a car, but he always does that. So, my vote goes to Perez. He should've been 7th however, 22nd to 8th was a fantastic achievement after another mammoth stint on one set of tyres (just like last year).
Button and Raikonnen get honourable mentions too.

Jenson because he is British.
What? It is the 'joke' that never dies.

Maldonado was a bit ragged at times (collision with Grosjean seemed unnecessary when Grosjean had left him plenty of space, and he ran wide at one point too).
I'd give it to Alonso. Hammered his teammate yesterday and today, and did well to hang onto his position at the end. It's nice to see him performing well in a crap car, but Ferrari really do need to give him a good car.

Could have gone for Button, because he is British but went for Kimi. A good solid drive, after his lengthy sabbatical. I didn't see him put a wheel wrong.

Gotta go to Perez, wonderful work with the same strategy as last year. Button obviously was very good as well and Vettel too.

Considering how highly I rate Hamilton, I'd have to give it to Button. It is difficult to believe that nobody put this man in a competitive car until 2009.

I see a flaw in your logic sir.
Voting for Hamilton "because he is British" I can understand.
But backing the winner is a very un-British thing to do.

All those years of racing in not very competative cars have really honed his race craft. He is a very smooth driver and that combined with his uncanny sense of how to use the tyres is what makes him stand out.
It's very early days yet but I would like to see him win the title again.
