Australian G.P. Whose is your driver of the Race?

May be...

The pilot of the safety car. What a poor excuse for a race. I can't believe I spent four months looking forward to that.

Lewis Hamilton!

I'm a BMW fan so I'm definitely for Robert Kubica!!!

my choice will be Alonso, he started okay, paced gradually and was brilliant in the last 15 laps, i agree with firefox, his driving past both raikkonen and kovalainen was one of the best move i have seen lately.

but renault needs to sort few issues, they need to make the car more consistent, it was good in patches. hekki would have been ahead had it been some else driving that car

Hamilton. He kept his head down when it mattered, could have lost it so easily with all the safety cars, and didn't drive off the road like several of the other experienced drivers did.
The only reason he wasn't challenged was because his closest rivals were rubbish!

Either Barrichello for getting a Honda into the top six or Alonso for managing to finish in front of a McLaren driving that car...

Mine is Nico Rosberg.

Though I dont like him much, I'd go for Alonso. His overtaking of Kimi and Kovi was like David slaying two Goliaths. Like a vulture he waited as the Finns battled and when the opportunity was there he took it.

The desperate last minute defense by Alonso was a testament to his racing skills. From 11th on the grid to fourth, Alonso is my driver of the race.

(Taking nothing away from Lewis. He was cool and composed as chaos reigned around him, a stellar drive, but from the viewers standpoint, kind of a normal day in office)

im a big fan of ferrari but i can say even if i wasn't, i think Kimi did a good job having started in 16th place. he pushed very hard to reach 3rd place. but whatever happened next is not his fault anymore, it's the car's engine failure.

1. Nico Rosberg!!!

2. Nick Heidfeld!

i know he didn't finish, but I'd say boudrais, running 4th in a year old reject red bull know matter what the circumstances, is impressive. though rosberg fully deserves his podium

Bourdais. Would have been interesting to see where Vettel could have finished if he hadn't had his accident.

It has to be Rubens driving that honda into fifth place before he got penalized...

Rosberg, It was so good to see a Williams on the podium after all this time. His jig and hug with Hamilton was a lovely sight too!
Agree with Firefox, Hamilton 'did a Schumacher' and disappeared into the distance so not much to say there!

All in all a good season opener!

1st. Kimi- i think he did his better. started in the 16th place, raise up to 8th place in the first lap. he never gave up in racing. hope he can get the 1st place in GP Malaysian next weekend.
2nd. Bourdais- great job in his first F1 racing!
