Kimi, Sutil and Bianchi as well for me.

Honourable mention for Alonso and for Massa for proving he can be in for a very, very good season.

Kimi, Bianchi and Hamilton.

I can't see the fuss about Sutil, he was on a different strategy to everyone else and team orders prevented his teammate overtaking him in the end.

Don't get the Sutil love, he had a very good race don't get me wrong but all his action at the front was superficial, he was never in the hunt for the top few places. He took the pain of the SS at the end (plus going off line whilst fighting others) the others took the pain at the start. Hence he only just finished in front of his teammate, and even then team orders dictated Di Resta didn't make a move.

My top 3 - Raikkonen, Alonso, Bianchi.

Everyone should run contrary tyre strategies, it makes them look better than they really are.

Sutil and Kimi, Alonso should have won it with the car he had so he cannot be it in my opinion

his pace with old medium and medium again were very close to top guys...

That's the point on the mediums he was on fire, for sure it was set in stone he will lose time with the SS but relatively he lost too much time, less fuel and only ten laps to go and the others were on worn out mediums. I would say he lost more time because of that than DiResta in the first stint. Something was wrong with his set or the fight with Hamilton and Webber destroyed them completely. Imagine some rain and at the end and he would be the hero. His performance was quit good, no need to talk him down, taking into account his was one year off.

They caught up to him reasonably quickly but then got stuck behind him and suffered from graining.

Especially if you're in a car that's borderline top 10. Sutil was very good today, but in a way di Resta suffered in a similar manner to how Kobayashi did on several occassions last season...

I know the option existed to choose more than one driver, but I think you have to choose one, and I chose Sutil. Kimi was, and is amazing, but given all that happened with Sutil, for him to be leading a race in a FI and Vettel not able to get by on"fresher tyres," was a peerless performance. :up:

nope. He is even behind Ross Brawn if we could mention non drivers. At least from BigChrome perspective.

Hamilton, Hamilton's dog, Hamilton's teammate imo.

On serious note:
Raikkonen, Alonso, Vettel (he still kept the podium with 3rd fastest car in race, and he once again outperformed teammate)

Sutil deserves it. After a year outside F1 and with less testing he was on the diResta level right in the first race and he drove well during the race.
