I went with smilie' Danny. Pushed Kimmy and his teammate aside nicely at the end and would have finished 4 if not giving back.

I went with Hamilton; but, NOT for how he ran his race!!

I think he should be commended for him comportment post-race!!
I'm not sure I would have been as composed as he was, in the same
situation, especially with Brundle trying to get a reaction from him!!

After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!

It wasn't very nicely with KR though...

Well, it looks like he had a healthy helping hand in that strategy blunder, so his post-race sulking is partly on him and I wouldn't call him the driver of the race...

I realize the driver has in-put; but, doesn't the team make the final decision?

It wasn't nice; but, it surely was "tame"!!

I expected more flavourful language from Kimi!!

They probably wouldn't have brought him in w/o his input about tire temp, etc.

They probably preselected the sound bites and what they broadcast still got bleeped.

Ah... that's true!!

Still... I truly expected different from him on the podium!
Like I said, I'm not sure how I would have reacted!!

I wonder if they had to splice together half an hour's worth to get that short phrase!!

I selected Verstappen for driver of the race because he was entertaining, lots of battles throughout through adversity, genius to pass his team mate and Bottas following Vettel through, ALthough the crash was not so good, but Grosjean did appear to brake a little earlier than expected and Max is inexperienced at only17 years old, we can forgive him for that!

I picked Sainz: starting from the pit lane and scoring a point in Monte Carlo - not too shabby.

Had to go with Rosberg. He drove his own race, didn't make any mistakes and was there at the end to sprint away from Vettel and pick up the pieces to get the win.

Plus Rosberg securing his third win in a row at Monaco isn't something that you see every day! The Royal Family who are usually stoic seemed especially excited!
