    I'm sure it's obvious..Rosberg.

    But also Kovalainen for keeping a Force India behind him until his car wanted to die.

    DRS (?) - or is it Pirelli (?) for giving us bunches of cars fighting to overtake!! Wonderful.

    Favourite moment was the Grosjean / Maldonado / Perez battle... but the champagne has to go to Rosberg. The new Jenson Button?

    For me it was the couple of laps, starting with Grosjean, Maldonado and Perez scrapping, with Alonso lurking, shortly followed by that big train of cars breaking up as Vettel fell back. They spent the whole race shuffling and positioning as Rosberg (imperiously, as they say) made off with the win, but at the end it was just 'grab what you can'.

    Rosberg winning his first race.
    Alonso and Webber doing battle on lap 1
    Vettel coming from 11th and nearly getting on the podium

    I think there were two [edit: three] real 'Champagne moments'.

    Firstly, and the best: Norbert Haug being congratulated by Herbie Blash in Parc Fermé; although both of them need to practice co-ordinating their high-fives (correction: high tens).
    After his own disappointment, Schumacher glanced at a camera with a genuine thumbs-up for Rosberg's win. Good show 'Schumi'*.

    *That is the first time I have ever used the popular abbreviation of Michael Schumacher's name. And, continuing in the same vein: the last sentence is the first time I have ever used his full name in a forum!


    [Edit: Nico Rosberg, and his singularly brilliant weekend with Pole to Chequered Flag, really tops both of the genuinely touching moments described above. Thanks Kyle].

    The champagne obviously has to go to Nico Rosberg, aside from that, Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton deserve mentions, for not colliding with each other.
