Not really much improbability this time.

1. Senna
A point a day keeps Bottas away

2. Hulkenberg
Beat his teammate again.

Charles Pic - 30 seconds ahead of Glock after starting dead last. Phenomenal.
Nico Hulkenberg - Because, really, nobody else impressed today.

Honorable mention: Lewis Hamilton - With only the third best car on race day and a clumsy start, his subsequent drive was easily worthy of a podium. If it wasn't for the start he would've been the driver of the weekend.

I don't see why would anyone nominate Massa today, honestly.

1. Bruno Senna: Where did that come from? I would like to see this version of Bruno Senna more often.
2. Vitaly Petrov: His chances of retaining his Caterham drive are very small but beating Kovalainen in both qualifying and the race (in spite of a bad start!) should make the team reconsider (along with his other recent performances).

Fuel problem + a subpar setup (which was mostly because of his appalling mistakes in practice). But no, he shouldn't get anything today.

I have not seen much improbability today (awn), and to be honest I didn't pay that much attention to the race, but I will nominate Alonso.

1. Charles Pic
2. I dunno, er...by default I guess it's Senna.

HM to Grosjean for some great passes. Kinda hard to choose though, nobody really stood out.

Alonso for a fighting race and holding to his title chances. I really didn't expect him to pass Webber, I thought Red Bull were playing with him as usual, and apart from that the McLarens also looked faster yesterday.

It's not like his was the best race ever, but this one was a pretty anonymous race overall in what is becoming a pretty anonymous season.

With a snorefest like this, at least a couple of lights

Bruno Senna for a fine drive that I hope make old Frank Williams think twice about slowpoke Bottas
Nico Hulkenberg because he made India feel The Force

The Clash of the Titans Award goes to Fernando Alonso as he muscle-pass both McLarens at the start.

1. Fernando Alonso - as Vettel was untouchable, did a perfect damage limitation job by claiming 2nd.
2. Bruno Senna - very clean drive, with some nice overtaking moves.

Honorable mentions:
Nico Hülkenberg - is making the most out of his F1 drive.
Charles Pic - Finished only 1 lap down and seemed to be keeping up with the Caterhams at one point.

1 - The Hulk: Destroyed Di Resta again. Another solid race and more points to FI. He clearly deserves a better car.

2 - Senna: Good race, another points finish.

Pic: Only 1 lap down and beaten Glock on merit!

It's getting to the point where his great drives are no longer Infinite Improbability, but considering how uneventful this race was, he's still nomination material.

1. Pic - To go from dead last on the grid to 18th in the space of a lap is pretty damn impressive. As is finishing half a minute up the road from his team mate.

2. Alonso - The title hunt is still on, thankfully.

1. Alonso - I certainly didn't expect him to have beaten Webber and both McLarens after qually. The top 7 on the grid finished in the same order apart from Alonso moving up 3 places!

2. Bruno Senna narrowly beats Hulkenberg as I expect the Hulk in the points now given his recent form.

1- Senna - Unexpected. Although I expect him to be anonymous and behind the Toro "I will puncture you" Rossos.
2- The Hulk - Who is Di Resta?

Mention: Alonso. Second in what is probably the third fastest car, man.
