His Germany drive(coming from a Lewis fan here) was in my opinion way better than his China drive. His mind was in the right place all weekend and his pace was incredible to the pace of JB.<br /><br />@ JackLeslieF1 JB's race in Hungary was good but the only reason why he won is because he made a better decision on tyres on 2 occasions compared to Lewis. Good decision and decent drive on his 200th GP.<br /><br />@ Daniel Good article by the way!LewisWDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877045504957164717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489870046811292950.post-53511357098835976742012-01-06T09:02:00.910-08:002012-01-06T09:02:00.910-08:00@awittyweasel It is when your tyres are completely...@awittyweasel It is when your tyres are completely smashed, and you've got possibly the best driver in the world behind you.<br /><br />@JackLeslieF1 Hungary wasn't anywhere near the Top 10 for me, good drive but not great.

Interestingly, three of my season review interviewees thought Monaco was Vettel's best drive.<br /><br />Button's drive in Canada was amazing, and really really special. The only reason its not as high as some may have expected is that the DRS made overtaking easy at times for him, and more importantly, there were the needless collisions with Hamilton and Alonso.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397347310187781873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489870046811292950.post-60428460427303019102012-01-04T15:27:52.496-08:002012-01-04T15:27:52.496-08:00And I'd like to add that this is about the bes...And I'd like to add that this is about the best drives, and therefore should not include qualifying performance :Pawittyweaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782935495362210782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489870046811292950.post-16843573203213821962012-01-04T15:25:32.696-08:002012-01-04T15:25:32.696-08:00I'd disagree quite strongly, I must admit.
He...I'd disagree quite strongly, I must admit.<br /><br />Here is my top 10:<br /><br />10. Vettel - Europe<br />9. Vettel - Korea<br />8. Schumacher - Canada<br />7. Vettel - Monza<br />6. Hamilton - Germany<br />5. Alonso - Britain<br />4. Vettel - India<br />3. Vettel - Spain<br />2. Hamilton - China<br />1. Button - Canada<br /><br />There's probably a fair amount of Mclaren bias, but quite how you can put Vettel's drive in Monaco anywhere near the top is suprising. That win came down pretty much entirely due to luck, and Alonso deserved that win much more.<br /><br />In contrast, Vettel's defense of Hamilton in Spain was first class as were his dominant victories in Korea, India and Europe. Schumi's drive in Canada showed us that perhpas there is some of the old magic still there. <br /><br />Hamilton's Germany drive was very good, but it wasn't the best. Alonso's British victory was pretty special and so that is high up.<br /><br />Hamilton's overtaking in China was sublime. In terms of overtaking in one single grand prix, Lewis has to get it for that. <br /><br />Button in Canada, well, I can't see how it can be anything but no.1. Six times through the pit lane, covering pretty much every position there was. Yes, he created his problems, and yes he was assisted by the safety car, but the way he picked that Mclaren up from what looked to be a dismal weekend for Mclaren into a race winning weekend was by far the most impressive display of the year, in my opinion.awittyweaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782935495362210782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489870046811292950.post-13996426323591846082012-01-04T13:10:05.459-08:002012-01-04T13:10:05.459-08:00Hamilton drive in Germany was fantastic but Jenson...Hamilton drive in Germany was fantastic but Jenson's Canada drive was easily the best of the season!
