Thought that Sainz was good.

Obviously it was kimi...

Bottas was caught unaware according to Kimi even though Kimi had tried to pass him there earlier i the race:

“It was racing,” said the Ferrari driver to reporters after the race. “I tried to pass, and unfortunately we end up in this.”

“I tried to overtake,” Raikkonen explained, “I overtook him once before in the race there, and I was catching him through turn three.”

“And then obviously I wasn’t too far [behind] and I thought I’ll try again. Once I decided to try I cannot back off any more. I go there and I’m there but obviously I don’t know if he didn’t see me a all or expect me to go there. I tried to turn as much inside as I could but there was nowhere to go and we collided.”

Bottas disagreed with Raikkonen’s explanation. “I don’t think it was really a racing incident, no,” he said.

“I didn’t see anyone there and I was in front and then someone hits me. Very disappointed, obviously, running third in the last lap and ending up with zero points. Just disappointed.”

He got a bit of luck with Raikkonen's ambitious last lap "overtake" but thought he executed the risky strategy very well and while he defended well for a number of laps didn't do anything too desperate.

Mentions also too Vettel (whose pace in the 2nd half of the race was very strong) and Sainz (excellent drive until his brakes failed considering he was in hospital 24 hours ago) for good drives.

Although Perez got somewhat lucky with the Raikkonen/Bottas incident, I think he drove excellently to make his soft tyres last 40 laps while defending against clearly faster cars.

Decided to go with Kimi...

At least he tried, just as others have in the past and will again in future.
Sometimes those calculated risks pay off, sometimes they don't.

At least, no one got hurt!

You wouldn't be saying that if Bottas punted kimi off!

I'd stick Perez up as the best driver, he did a great job on those tires. Sainz and Massa also gained a lot of places in the race they were a close second.

Maybe not. Then, again, maybe I would.
Granted, I'd be terribly disappointed; but,
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it!

C'mon Sagi, Kimi's move was outrageously optimistic at best, his move was equivalent to a kid thinking if he bounces really hard on a trampoline, he'll make it to the moon. I feel Kimi got off incredibly lightly, scoring points while the driver he punted off scored zero. These are professional racing drivers and Kimi is one of the most experienced, "at least he tried" doesn't cut it.

Carlos for me. Let's face it he ended up with a barrier on him then the next day started the race and did well.

Plus to say kimi, a man who had his teammate just drive off into the distance, was driver of the race is a bit of a stretch. Surely Vettel did a better job?

Vettel did do a better job; but, I think Kimi took risks that he didn't.
Just a different view of the world, not necessarily the most popular.

VL David Greenwood Kimi Raikkonen Understood mate, understood, we know you were racing.
