It can only be Rosberg.
Rosberg.
I almost gave it to Vettel for Vettel screwing Hamilton.
I don’t know which Hamilton was the bigger petulant child, the actors on stage play or the F1 driver.
Why did so many people vote Kvyat? Did I miss something, or are his entire extended family started using TJ13?
I voted Max for managing to make it back through the pack (albeit with people ahead pitting for the 2 stop) whilst managing to keep enough life in his SSs to make the one stop work. Not a bad job although qually wasn’t great.
Could just as easily have voted Nico though. I’m really not a fan of his but he handled the weekend well, stuck to the plan that has served him well all season (even if it has made him appear a bit wooden and totally pointless to interview at times) and that was a decent pass on Max under pressure
The top four all deserve it, for different (obvious) reasons.
So, I gave a farewell vote to button.
Rosberg for his overtake on Verstappen showing how much he was prepared to fight for it.
Yes. That was impressive.
As was Vettel’s charge at the end
I vote that we sh!tcan this poll unless every vote is accompanied by a comment.
Or home country votes count for 25%.
Or maybe TJ can publish data on voting patterns – numbers, time of vote, country of origin, trackback urls, etc…
These numbers are of zero value at the moment.
I voted Rosberg. So here you go, Roger.

I’m from a country that has zero drivers in F1 and reside in another with the same situation. Liked Max’s strategy, loved Vettel’s charge, great respect for Rosberg’s resilience. What Lewis did was perfectly allowable & difference with his team superiors to be considered separately.
I’m from a country that’s going to have one driver next year. Yeah 😎
Top 3 countries voting are UK (46%), US (20%), Netherlands (17%) & Australia (14%)
It would be interesting to see the UK break down. Anyone from Scotland voting for #44?
I’m from Scotland, didn’t vote for Hamilton but I’m sure my other half would have
Hamilton, he maximized his chances and drove very well to back up the pack. Doing that requires very good pace control and not making any mistakes. Voting for Nico makes no sense as he was out-qualified and didn’t manage to overtake Lewis. This is driver of the weekend, not driver of the year.
Max drove extremely well and showed off his quality again, but he made big mistakes during Q3 and lap 1.
