Winner of the Chinese Grand Prix under the Shanghai flood? as he did last year at Monza with his modest Toro Rosso ? the young German from the stable Red Bull-Renault, which obtained the second precocity record on the highest step of the podium, the first being? itself in 2008, was logically acclaimed. An election all the more justified as he has, until today, been the only one to trip Jenson Button, the intractable leader of the championship, from his pedestal.

On the other hand, if Dany Snobeck?s second place is not strictly speaking a surprise, the gap he widened with Kamui Kobayashi, winner of the GP2 Asia, is one of them. With 24,6% of voters in his pocket, the veteran from Dijon, 2008 French rally champion and winner of the opening round at Lyon-Charbonnières, proves that he still benefits from a crowd of admirers. See you next week, you will discover the names of the three drivers nominated for the month of May.

Sebastian Vettel : 69,7%
Dany Snobeck: 24,6%
Kamui Kobayashi: 5,7%
