Poll 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix: Driver of the Race

[KekeTheKing]

Amazing that di Resta made a 2-stopper work.

Maybe some other teams should have skipped FP2.

Sebastian Vettel gets my vote. He stuck the car on pole and then controlled the race from there on in, also he didn't have the advantage that Raikkonen had with a couple of sets of new tyres.

Driver of the race has to be Kimi.

Put aside who had the fresher tyres, or who put it on pole, as this is "driver of the race".

Coming from 11th to 2nd and doing several great overtakes and challenging for the win when being out of the sport for 2 years was great. Great to watch and great performance, lost out on the win I would say through no fault of his own.

Schumacher had more fresh tyres compared to anyone else, but he didn't come through the field like Raikkonen, and unlike Raikkonen, didn't beat his team-mate either.

Therefore I give it to Raikkonen.

A tough one to call. this. Went for Kimi in the end.

Have to say I'm a bit surprised to see Massa included in the selection. He had his best race this season so far and it did look at one point during the race as though he had the legs of Alonso, but that was only temporary and in the in the end he still got beat by team-mate both in quali and in the race didn't he?
