Trulli or Rosberg? Definitely none of the front runners this time.

Voted for Rosberg. Great start, followed by a flawless race.
Good to see a Williams in the points and Toyota regaining their strenght. |

Webber.
Button on different planet so I can't really vote for him!! Can't vote for Vettel because he blew it. Piquet did a nice move........... |

Button,
Made one minor mistake. Vettel threw it away on lap one so nil points from me. Rosberg good and so was Trulli but it had to be Jenson today. Hon mensh to Mark though. Did I see tears in the Rubens interview? |

Rosberg for me... did everything he needed, and finished much higher than he started. Good to see Williams back up towards the top of the rsults. Nakajima did ok too. Honourable mentions to Trulli for keeping it together and finishing well, and also for Button for yet another flawless race... capitalised on Vettel's mistake and was always fast when he needed to be.
Not sure how anyone can vote for Vettel for this one.... converted pole to 3rd place, and lost the lead in a silly mistake. Button must have been chuckling when he saw it. |

I know its getting boring for some, but it has to be Button.
He always seems to get the best out of the car without going OTT, and it almost seems like the car is designed around him (like Stoner and Ducati) except his team mate is "almost" there. |

For a solid, dominating drive it has to be .... Fisichella
In all seriousness Button |

I have voted for Button in the past for this reason, but today he simply did not have to do enough to justify getting DOTR - didn't he start reducing revs before the race was half over? Still, I agree that he is showing consistently that he is both a good and and intelligent driver, and I am happy that this is the case, but today I vote Rosberg.

You can do that if you do all the hard work at the beginning.
Certainly when it was obvious that he'd got far enough ahead not to be caught he could turn the revs down.But through free practice and qualifying it didn't look like he had the fastest car. And he wouldn't be the first driver in history to turn the revs down at the end of a race. |

I am not at all implying that he shouldn't have driven prudently as he did; and indeed I think that comparing him to Rubens this year shows how much his prudent, calculating and smooth approach are worth. I just think that he didn't have to work as hard for it this time (just to clarify).

And now maybe he has a 5 grid place penalty for Silverstone,because he's still one race short of his new gearbox allocation. |

Sorry comrade, Vettel was light, 5 kilos light. Pole would have been Button's, and the mistake was of Vettel's own making. A well deserved second place to Webber, steady faultless drive.

Jenson Button just seems completely untouchable in the Brawn. Like Loeb in a Citreon or Schumacher in a Ferrari.

I put Vettel instead of Webber largely because of the difference in pace in the final stint but after hearing that he turned the engine down i guess i would have to say Webber or Button.

Vettel? Why? Started pole, went of track, came third. How can that be DOTR?
In fact how could it really be anyone but Button? Made one very slight error when he went wide, otherwise no apparent mistakes AT ALL. Webber also very good, but just not as quick. No-one else even came up on the radar. |

I don't think I care enough to vote...I can't remember anybody's drive bar Barrichello's for its sheer awful-ness.
