I don't think I've ever explained my driver of the day vote before...Perez did well and seeing Vettel pass Leclerc on the final corners was unexpected to say the least. Lance was also doing quite well keeping cool, but bad strategy and a little cracking under the pressure lost him the positions. However DOTD is Lewis.
You can't look at FP 1,2,3 and Q1,2 and 3 and say Merc was the best car this weekend, that was clearly Red Bull and Racing Point. Lewis was barely looking competitive throughout the weekend...but when it counts, he delivered, and he won. Not because of "is that Glock?", or that Rosberg "sucks" (he doesn't, but it's a shame he left after 1 WDC)...but because he drove his behind off and overcame the odds, like he has been doing since karting.
He is 7 time world champion for that reason, he's in that car for a reason, same reason Fangio and all the other greats were in the great cars of the past: because he's a bloody genius behind the wheel. End of, no if ands or buts.
