Charles Leclerc. Pole, 1st, and humble while doing it.

+1 Leclerc, easily. Exceptional talent and exceptional approach to racing, even after the tragic events on Saturday.

+1. At no point did it look like anyone would take away this win from him. Including outclassing his 4 time WDC friend.

Between Norris and Leclerc for me. Went with Leclerc. Did just enough to fend off the faster Mercedes after dominating qualifying by an extraordinary margin. Hopefully he can follow it up next weekend where Ferrari should again be more competitive

LOL, you just have to love when “well respected” HYPOCRITES are trying their best to hide their real feelings.
NOR did absolutely nothing but inherited everything, “his majesty” and his butler were literally nowhere, proof of how they rely on their cars to be “great”, VER proved that at Spa he is a mindless 1st lap “torpedo” once again. His 1st serious mistake of the year but still…
Anyway I went for LEC, with honorable mentions for ALB and PER.

I only watch the race, not all weekend session. So I like to choose Norris or Giovinazzi but both didn’t finish. So I pick Stroll. Very high regard to Albon too.

Stroll 16 to 10 Meh. Kvyat 19 to 7 that was truly impressive.

My top 3 is;
ALB
HAM
LEC
Yeah LEC and HAM both raced very well. BUT, with a 3/4 secs advantage in qualifying, I would expect a better race pace from Ferrari, and, LEC didn’t do anything impressive. Except beating VET, which doesn’t mean he was superfast in Spa. HAM was fast and made a good run, but I think it was just an ordinary day for Mercs, and was a very standard race from both HAM and BOT.
My DOTW is ALB, qualifying didn’t go well but, in the race he was fun to watch. Finishing P5 was the maximum he could have done, and he accomplished this task with a well controlled run.

LEC for DOTW, as well as DOTD, but with honorable mentions to NOR, ALB, HUL, STR, and GAS.

kind of has to be leclerc, but hamilton drove very well too, probably maximised what he had in the car. albon had a good day too. norris would probably be right up there, but qualifying wasn’t that great for him.

Voted for leclerc but there’s grounds to vote hamilton and norris too imo, especially hamilton, put a lot of pressure even on a track where ferrari was considered stronger.

Despite albon being voted a lot, he IMO did the bare minimum for the car, it’s true it’s his first red bull race, but still, not DOTW material, however doing the bare minimum for the car is better than gasly did, who btw seems reborn at toro rosso, he’s getting the same results as he was with red bull basically, this confirms he’s a fisichella like driver, can only drive “slow” cars well.

ALB was overtaked by Hulk in the first stint, then we wasn’t able to go trhough the field (as his superior car should have allowed) until the second stint when the car difference and tires specially help him (so he got the 5th place just by strategy). His race and racecraft were far from brilliant.

Kvyat going 19 to 7 is my driver of the Day.
