I see a lot of people going for Massa, but bear in mind that this car is actually leading the WDC, has won a race and been on the podium several other times, and he still only finished 6th in it,
however there aren't really many standout performers from yesterday, so I'm going for :

1. Heikki Kovaleinen - was keeping up with the Kimi Train before the pit stops, and embarrased Jenson throughout the race - he may have got a bit 'lairy' at the end, but I'd rather that than just
giving up.

2. Felipe Massa - by default, just because 'he wasn't as bad as he might otherwise have been'.

1. Heikki Kovalainen - Today he proved, if that car ever gets in with a shot at points, he'll grab it with both hands.
2. Felipe Massa - Who honestly expected that?

I will go with the trend here and say Kovalainen. Force India, because they took advantage when others fell of the road. I won't vote on Massa because this is what he should do at almost every race.

Although I did vote for Massa, it's true about what others are saying. The top 6 were all established drivers racing for the best teams, and Massa was the last of them. So although his Monaco performance was a breath of fresh air, I'm not expecting the 'turnaround' in his form he's predicting.

The reason I voted for Massa was because, even by his post-Hungary 2009 standards, he was piss poor at the beginning of the year. I honestly thought he'd struggle to score more than a dozen or so points this year, so it was nice to see him not doing so terribly.

Still think he should be out at the end of the year, though.

1. Kovalainen
2. Force India (seriously I hardly noticed them and there they were both well inside the points).

Webber and Massa were good but I'd like to see that from them more often.

1 - Kovalainen - Drove fantastically, could have been higher up if luck went his way
2 - Senna - Okay was 10th but scored a point but was much improved since the last race. As a side note is is also several points ahead of Massa...

So Massa was 6th, big deal. He is still being caned by Alonso and as long as he kept the car on the road he was gauranteed points.
