Alonso for me. A very controlled race in the first half, pushed hard when he needed to, and although Seb's dodgy pitstop made life easier for him it was a fairly dominant win in the end.
Schumacher deserves a mention after a good comeback drive but it was his own fault he'd got relegated at the back in the first place.

Gone for Fernando. Over the whole weekend he was the driver for me! He was always they or there abouts and once he took the lead of this race he was unstoppable. Nice to see another driver other than Sebastian Vettel win a GP this season! Well done Ferrari and Fernando Alonso.
Hamilton is probably the driver of the day but this is a vote for over the whole weekend and Alonso piped him

Hamilton gets my vote (I tend to base my votes almost completely on the race). In the changeable conditions at the start of the race he was absolutely fantastic - starting 10th and quickly getting past the likes of Button, Massa and my personal favourite move of the weekend to overtake Alonso on the damp part of the track on slick tyres. He was only let down by the car and the team today as when the track dried he simply didn't have the pace of the Ferrari and having to save fuel lost him a place on the podium.
My top 5:
1) Hamilton
2) Alonso - beat Vettel, enough said.
3) Schumacher - fantastic pace. Shame about the contact with Kobayashi and the harsh penalty for it.
4) Perez - Another great tyre saving drive.
5) Alguersuari - Has really risen to the pressure that he was under a few races ago, and with Ricciardo now at HRT his seat looks secure for the time being.

Alonso for me, helped by Vettel's stop, but Lewis is no slouch and pulling out 1 second per lap over him as he tried to shake off Vettel is impressive. The most anyone has beaten Vettel by this year.
Alonso- He got the job done today.
Has to be 'Nando. After getting out front he was utterly dominating.
Although it must be said that it almost came to tears for Fernando in Quali with his Off-Roading excursion.

Very chuffed.
Alonso had a good race but I'm not I can vote for him as Red Bull gifted him the lead with their bungled pit stop. Still think he woudl have won but a race would have been nice.
Anyway, I've gone for Jaime Algerwat'sit. Wasn't he supposed to be sacked after this race? Started 18th, finished 10th and scored a point - kudos to him.

I went for Lewis. Drove brilliantly when the track conditions were variable and the car performances were levelled. This was a proper demonstration of the difference a driver can make.
Once the track dried up the faster cars set the pace as you would normally expect.
Great drive from Alonso too. My second of the day.
Vettel taken out of his element and his weaknesses exposed today.
