Amy Hawk (Lead Writer & Editor) - "My driver of the weekend is Nico Hulkenberg. Not just because of this weekend but also because of how he drove at Le Mans the previous weekend. I think it's been a huge confidence boost for him to win Le Mans and then qualify 5th on the grid for the Austrian Grand Prix. He took his car to the maximum, came away with a solid 8 points and with points from Perez as well, Force India is in 5th for the constructors championship and that overall is a great result.
I believe in time and with Force India getting their new car ready for Silverstone, the results will only get better."
Frances Fry (Assistant Writer) - "My driver of the weekend is Felipe Massa. Felipe has improved with every race this season, having no rest from pushing his Williams into the points. I was not expecting to see him stood on the podium at the end of the race. It's not a secret that Vettel's Ferrari had the power to overtake Massa, but with experience comes skill, and that's exactly what Massa showed us as he held off the advancing Ferrari in the final laps of the race. Some people may see this as a one off, but what I saw on that race track was Massa stripping it back to the basics. He kept his cool and used moves that he knew were enough to keep Vettel behind him, and what do you know? There he was, on the podium!
Felipe Massa is an incredible driver and I don't believe he gets enough recognition. Sure, he may not be a championship winner, but he was so close and he never lost the quality of performance. So, I'd like to recognise Massa and his talent and congratulate him on being able to perform so outstandingly."
