Webber Barrichello Massa and Rossberg share my driver of the Day.
Webber for his patience, and improving his starting position. It was certainly appreciated by Horner, who went out of his way to thank him.
Barrichello for somehow keeping that car up there when it was not up to it. He certainly loves this track.
Massa showed his maturity and skill, and Rossberg was a pleasure to watch.
Vettel started on pole and won the race. That is what I expect from the pole sitter. He had the car, the strategy, the open road ahead. That is why he doesn't get DOTD.
Special DOTD.Alonso.......two thirds of the drivers out there would have thrown that bucket of bolts into the bushes on the first lap. The last timeI saw such an evil handling pig of a thing, it had a Jaguar badge on it.

Correct, I would not have voted for him.
I vote for drivers who improve from their starting positions, or peform better than most could in an unwieldy car.etc.
A simple perusal of any race thread, where I vote for DOTD, would let most people of any intelligence see that.

Same could be said of Hamiltons McLaren, in the shots from the helicopter it looked like it was turning simple corners into wild chicanes. :lol: :lol:

Round is a shape...........

Agreed; I kept wondering 'was I watching an F1 race or a USAC sprint-car race?' whenever they showed Hamilton's car........... :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Yup, He and Alonso earned their supper. I thought Hambone was having the rear end step out, which can be fun when there is no hope of winning ( I used to enjoy taking my V8 ute out in the rain, but that was pre-Angel :cry: )
But that Renault was giving variable grip on the same corner........... :shock:
