Hamilton
Very dissapointing. His mistake cost himself and Kimi the race. Its a good thing he took out his main WDC competitor otherwise, he wouldve been well dissapointed. Pit lane activity is clearly his weakness. Lets hope he learns from his Chinese GP and Canadian GP mistakes.
Alonso
Very very dissapointing. Thats 2 races in a row where he has ended up crashing out. I have a feeling that he is setting his car up for speed and not drivability, which is making it difficult for him to drive off the driving line.
I do still rate him as the best driver in F1, but its marginal now.
Piquet
Piquet is being made to look very ordinary, by Alonso who is showing fantastic pace, but poor (driving) reliability. Had Piquet been partnered with someone else, I'm sure he wouldnt look so bad, but his job is on the line courtesy of Alonso.
I think he has to go now and another driver should get an opportunity.
Heikki
I see that Heikki pulled out yet another stonker. He finished 9th and got overtaken by Massa. He was slow all weekend, while his team leader (who did make a mistake), was setting race-winning pace.
As per usual, Heikki gives another poor performance. He really doesnt deserve to be in a McLaren. For him to win in a race, he will need the best car and all the major contenders (including the BMWs) to fall off the track. I dont know how he is doing it, but he is actually getting worse as the season progresses; one would think that as he gets used to the car, he would get faster.
I really do feel that McLaren should give Vettel a chance for their No.2 car, as Heikki just isnt capable of racing at the sharp end.
I would love to see the excuse used this time. JRS, I'm gonna love to hear your Canadian GP excuse, for Heikki.
Heidfeld
A good solid, No.2 drive for BMW. He gave way for his team-leader to go past and kept a watchful eye on proceedings. Any No.2 driver should look at the way Heidfeld drove in this race. If Kubica had gone off, Heidfeld wouldve picked up the pieces. In a superior car, Heikki should be doing what Heidfeld did today.
Kubica
What can I say. He delivered the goods. Whenever I see him drive, he seems bullet proof. The guy doesnt make many mistakes and if he is driving the car fast, you know he is doing so without taking too many risks. If he has the best car under him, he WILL win the WDC. BMW must surely be a force to be reckoned with in the future and unlike J. Button (when he won a race with Honda), Kubica looks like the real deal.
The WDC is wide open, but I still feel its between Kimi and Hamilton.
And i assume the same penalty will be applied to rosberg
