Re: Driver(s) of the Day - Malaysian Grand Prix
I'm not taking anything away from Lewis as he drove a very good race, perfectly in control at all times and deserved the win, but I just don't see how he can be peoples driver of the day, for example whenever Vettel won last year I don't remember Vettel getting praise for winning by a large margin,...
