Top 4 Drivers of the Spanish Grand Prix

4. Jules Bianchi



Well this guy is no stranger to the top 4 list. You might be a little tired of me talking about him, but just hear me out. He was sent to the back at the very beginning of the race, but only climbed from there. He ripped past his teammate on laps 15-17 where he went from over 7 seconds behind Chilton to 3.4 to passing him. 7 seconds in three laps. On his teammate. Then, he fought on through the remainder of the race, passing some notables like Vergne, Bottas, Sutil, and Pic. I only hope Ferrari continues to recognize his genius and will eventually sign him

3. Jenson Button



After having a tragic qualifying and a poor start, he finished P8. On top of that, after much speculation about Perez being faster than him, he passed him. He is leading the charge at Mclaren, and he did a good job of defending that title today. He is definitely needed because Mclaren is not going anywhere right now, and as if that wasn't enough, it's their 50th anniversary  Not the optimal time to be struggling.    

2. Felipe Massa



Starting on the 5th row, not much was expected of him, but he gained 6 positions to climb to a step on the podium. Alonso was predicted to be good, but Massa was a genuine surprise.

1. Fernando Alonso


Fantastico! Alonso was dominant in this race, simply blowing by his rivals on to a great win. He is now in 4th all time on the wins list, with 32 Grand Prix victories. It would be tragic if they disqualified him for accepting the flag, but I don't think they can, since they didn't do it for Valencia last year. It is also true that he did win with one more pit stop than Raikkonen, meaning if the time from his pit stop was subtracted, he would be over 30 seconds ahead of Raikkonen.
