I like seeing other drivers win once in a while, but it isn't going to be today. No matter what you think of Lewis Hamilton the man can drive. What is worse he makes it look so darn easy. Toppling record after record that were mostly held by Michael Schumacher 15 or 20 years ago. Which probably means that Hamilton's name will be on the books for another 20 years after his retirement. With his win I think that he is at least 25 points ahead of Vettel for the championship. Vettel and Raikkonen followed him across the finish line.
Hulkenberg finished in 12th place and the Haas Team came in 7th and 10th. Nice for them since they were both in the point numbers.
As for 'Driver of the Day' I probably would have given it to Daniel Ricciardo for his run from 12th or 13th up to 4th. The other that was certainly in the running was Pierre Gasly who held off everyone else for the spot considered the 'The Best of the Rest,' sixth place. In each case that is their job, but I think I will go with Ricciardo because coming up through the crowd is a very hard job especially on these older tracks.
