I went for Vettel. Today the Lotus looked the faster car, and if he'd allowed Raikkonen to get within a second a lap or two earlier the Finn may well have won it. Very strong drive by Vettel to finally get his home race.

I was impressed mainly with Vettel, Alonso, Raikkonen and Button. All of them battled hard.

I vote for Alonso this round.

I think Alonso was really hard to assess. The tyre strategy didn't seem to work (but they were aided by the safety car), and we don't have Massa as a point of comparison. Mercedes being poor and Webber's bad luck also helped him.

I read a piece, by Coulthard, I think, suggesting that Alonso could leave Ferrari if they don't get their act together. Not sure I believe that. It'd be fun if he went to Red Bull, though.
