Korean Kimi of the race

Kimi :bandit:
Hulki

[longisland]

Hulk's mobile chicane is embarrassing two world champions with faster cars behind him.

[donKey jote]

has to be Hulk, then Kimi

hulkenberg

goodnight

[webberf1]

How Ferrari were dumb enough to choose the aging Raikkonen over him I'll never know

[steveaki13]

Hulkenberg was amazing. He stayed calm and composed at all times and that Saubers traction was immense. Great job and DotD.

Other Mentions.
Kimi done a good job to, from 7th to 2nd.
Also Grosjean who would have been easily second had it not been for the SC's
Seb has to be mentioned again. A solid, calm race to win easily.
Button also did OK to finish 8th after a poor first stint.
Pic - Finished 14th and seems to be the only back 4 driver not to have gotten in trouble.

[steveaki13]

Also do we need 3 driver of the Day threads.

[DexDexter]

Is everyone forgetting just how much kimi benefitted from the safety car?
He is overated and Alonso will make him look foolish next year.

He overtook Grosjean without DRS in an identical car, but obviously a real expert like you knows best. A really knowledgeable about F1, arent you?

[donKey jote]

special mention to Nico for his flawless Spanish in the interview on A3 :p

[Parabolica]

Hulkenberg, by a long, long way.

I do hope Ferrari haven't made a bad decision.

Hulkenberg, by a long, long way.

I do hope Ferrari haven't made a bad decision.
Quite frankly, I don't see how signing Räikkönen over Hülkenberg could be a bad decision. I'd expect both drivers to work professionally. They might give each other trouble for the WDC but it should be all good for the WCC.

I wouldn't put Räikkönen above Grosjean this occasion. Grosjean had a better qualifying and a huge advantage before the SC. Kimi did well to overtake Romain, but other than that his opportunity was pretty much inherited. Like in Brazil last year Button lost a 40-second lead over Hamilton due to safety car.

Feel gutted for Romain actually. He has become really fast and been on course to beating his team-mate two races in a row now, but lost out in the end. Last time due to car failure.

Kimi had a troubled qualifying, Turun Sanomat (TS.fi) reported that he actually had a broken front wing in quali so it's really difficult to compare Kimi and Grosjean's race because Kimi was in traffic. Grosjean drove very well but let's be honest, it's a big mistake if your teammate overtakes you with older tires after a flying restart without the DRS.

I thought Grosjean and Hulkenberg were excellent. Grosjean had to fend off Hamilton once or twice, but Grosgean's battle with Hamilton was epic. Kimi was also good, specially considering his back injury, but he got into second because of SC. Grosjean's 2nd position looked pretty safe before the SC.

Nico Hulkenberg just beat my driver to the title; driver of the race.

But, I liked when Kimi overtook Fernando, twice that was if I´m not mistaken.

Apologies for a slight confusion, since people seemed to be discussing about the same thing in three different threads, so they were merged. Also a couple of personal insults were deleted in the other thread.

[F1boat]

Seb, Hulk, Kimi. Brilliant drives from them.

[dj_bytedisaster]

As someone said in the Autosport Forums:

Drivers of the day are Hulk and Ho Li Phuk, who gave Jeep their first lead lap in F1 :D

Hulk for the way he held Hamilton, Alonso etc behind him for the last quarter of the race.

Vettel was again in a class of his own and the two black cars

[JasonPotato]

I'll go for DiResta, Massa and Sutil for my drives of the day :laugh:

Seriously only Kimi and Hulk are worth a mention for drives of the day.

[The Black Knight]

Hulk, Kimi and Vettel.
