Well, no one has started this thread yet so here we go.

My choice of course, the phenom Lewis Hamilton.

Lewis again, refused to give in and handled the pressure once again :up:

Honourable mention to Vettel for becoming the youngest points-scorer, but DOTD must go to Hamilton for soaking up the pressure from Alonso to take his second victory in a flawless demonstration race.

Several contenders for that "award" - especially Hamilton, Kovalainen, Rosberg and Trulli. :)

And also do not forget Sutil. ;) That guy made a stellar drive by staying in the group of superior cars.

This time Lewis,
then webber...even though he should have gotten around Trulli
then Wurz...even though he should have gotten around liuzzi

the worst performance has to go hands down to Ralf
I think he might be replaced by France

agreed, both he and Vettel may have bought themselves better seats next year

Totally agree with your choices: LH again remained cool as a cucumber under pressure from Alonso; Trulli didn't fall asleep halfway through the race for once; Rosberg definitely should have scored points, Sutil again outclassed Albers...

Hamilton and Alonso.... great driving for both of them... They fought for the win on track and managed to bring another 18 points to the team....

IŽd like to mention KR too... it was nice to see him closing the gap with FM and fighting his team mate after such a bad start....

1. Hamilton
2. Kovalainen (great drive despite all the speculation and pressure)
3. Rosberg

:D 1. Hamilton... drove another superb race under pressure

2. Vettel... rookee driver scored in his 1st race

3. Kovalainen... standing up under intense pressure

:( Poorest performance... Ralfie who may be finished in Formula 1...

Yep.



Ralf had a bad day indeed.



What will really happen with him???? replacement during the season?

another chance??

Ralf created a mess in Turn1 just like Montoya last year on the same circuit, which happened to be his last race in F1. Again very interesting parallels...

Lewis for sure.. Fantastic, Cool under pressure, mature drive from the youngster. Way to go Dude! ROCK!!!

Well done.. Heikki, Vettel and Sutil also.




Ralph.. you are the weakest link... Goodbye!

For an F1 debut, and under extreme pressure of living up to the standards of BMW this season, Sebastien Vettel saved their weekend by getting into the points, and showed that he has the mentality to make it as a full time f1 driver. His great doggedness and fighting attitude makes him my DOTD just ahead of Hamilton.

I vote for Fisi just for the amount of superb overtaking manoeuvres he pulled off

I think it was Lewis Hamilton but Jarno Trulli also impressed me with his drive and he came under pressure from Mark Webber at the end of the race.

I'm not sure that France is the best choice to replace Ralf! :) (You would have to make a really big cockpit!)

Seriously, I voted for Nico. His climb to as high as 4th was very impressive. He nearly made a one-stop strategy pay off with big points except for his Toyota engine failing him. I think he was saying, "Burn, baby, burn!!" as he walked from his car.

I'm shocked Pino :)

And how is that ? Do you realize what kind of "car" he's driving ? After the race Jarno told the media that this 6th pos is like a victory for him, and I believe that ;)

The way Hamilton withstood all attepmts from the current World Champion is marvellous. My choice.

The Spyker, god bless them for trying, is a terrible car in its first year of competition. Sutil only 2 laps down to the McLarens? I voted Sutil.

Lewis Hamilton!

Some great passes from Fisichella.
Good performance from Trulli, Kovalainen and Vettel.

Donkey of the race.... as usual: Ralfie, whos working hard for his money.

Rosberg and Trulli impressed me the most, but I see Trulli as having the edge this time. I voted Trulli. Liuzzis defence on Wurz for so many laps was very nice to see aswell, he was making AW look quite stupid.
Could anyone explain me why HK has far more votes than Trulli? And who were the people who actually voted Alonso as the driver of the race? Did we all watch the same GP?

It's called having an opinion that differs to yours :cool:

I know that. Some can also have the opinion that Geoge Bush is the most intelligent person in the world, but that opinion would be stupid, wouldnt it? :cool:

I can't deny that I like Garry Walker's posts and the disputes they create on this forums. :D

Btw, I voted for Trulli. I wanted to vote for Sutil, but at the time when I gave my vote (it was yesterday), then he wasn't listed as an option yet. :p : I liked Jarno's classic position defending at the end of the race. Webber did quite well too, but... it's hard to prove or to give a concrete parameter, but IMO Red Bull is a better car than Toyota at the moment, so therefore the Italian impressed me more. :p :

I totally agree with this, I've bagged out a fair bit of late,
True he stuff up early in race with a spin but made up for it with the best "overtaking manoeuvres" in the race in try to recover exercise in the race
SO Fisichella gets my vote!!!!

Fisico spoilt his race, and then miraculously nearly got it back.

Nearly... being the keyword here.

Because some people try to be open-minded and think about their choices while for others, a poll is just a popularity contest for their favorite driver - just like most political elections!!

(BTW - I like George Bush ;) He shows that anyone CAN grow up to be president of the USA!)

Far more people voted for HK than Trulli.

We all watched the same race, but I'm sure you saw it in black & white.

Driver of the race was Hamilton of cause :)
However i gave my vote to Kova for his surprising "up waking" - hopefully he doesn't fall in the sleep again..
William Hunt
19th June 2007, 21:47
I would mention Sutil since he's driving the slowest car on the grid and that makes it hard for people to notice him. He clearly dominates Albers everywhere this year and was fighting in the midfeald with much faster cars. Sutil is ready for a better team next year.

My vote goes to Rosberg.

The best one stopper of the race, but he couldnŽt finish... If I were him IŽd have punched the air even more!
