@ driftin – I really don’t think he deserves all the votes tbh, as I felt he was unlucky to retire in the way he did (although he was to blame for the Webber contact).

@ Robocat – Worst driver of the weekend for taking pole, and leading until the last lap is very harsh.

Best Driver: Button – stunning pace, shame it wasn’t shown in quali
Worst Driver: Sutil
Best Team: Red Bull, solid points gives you championships
Worst Team: Virgin, mistake after the safety car, poor pace as usual
Best Overtake: Button on Vettel, I mean Hamilton on Webber…. I’d say Massa on Kobayashi on the last straight
Best Funny-moment: Too many to remember

Least Surprising Result: Kobayashi in the points
Special Mention to: Schumacher
Race Rating: 9/10

Best BBC commentator/presenter: Martin Brundle as ever
Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Eddie Jordan as ever
Best Commentary moment: “I wouldn’t want to share my chocolate bar with Lewis Hamilton if going halfies” – his logic didn’t even make sense, Lewis thought he was half way along Jenson’s car, but he wasn’t even a quarter. I’d definitely want to share my chocolate bar with him!
BBC Coverage rating: 10/10 – Great job to entertain in such difficult circumstances

Best Driver: Michael Schumacher
Worst Driver: Adrian Sutil
Best Team: Red Bull but most improved Ferrari
Worst Team: Virgin but it was almost Mclaren as they really built themselves up before this race but were mostly a huge let down but JB saved them
Best Overtake: Schumacher on Massa and Kobayashi
Funny moment: not the marshal falling over as that terrified me as I was convinced he’s be hit by a car. Probably the Mclarens crashing.
Most Surprising Result: Schumacher
Least Surprising Result: DRS annoying the life out of me-poor Schumacher
Special Mention to: Massa and Paul di Resta both made a silly mistake in the race but were absol;utely on fire for much of the weekend
Race Rating: 7/10- too much SC and too much DRS but apart from that it was great.
Best BBC commentator/presenter: DC
Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Jake
Best Commentary moment: “did you know ‘racecar’ is ‘racecar’ spelt backwards
BBC Coverage rating: 8/10 – it was fine and they handled the extra hours very well but Jake’s wearing a bit thin these days

Best Driver: Michael Schumacher

Worst Driver: No-one really…

Best team: Red Bull as usual

Worst Team: Team Lotus, didn’t impress at all

Best Overtake: Button on Vettel for pure drama, MSC on MAS and KOB for opportunistic driving

Most surprising result: Liuzzi finishing 13th for HRT

Least surprising result: Vettel on the podium again

Special Mention to: Felipe Massa for a great quali and 1st half of race, and Charlie Whiting for making us wait for 2 hours when it was intermediate tyre territory, and starting the race behind the safety car and DC + MB for keeping me entertained throughout the race

Race Rating: 10/10 despite the wait

Best BBC commentator/presenter: Brundle as always

Worst BBC commentator/presenter: All were brilliant today

Best Commentary moment: “did you know ‘racecar’ is spelt ‘racecar’ backwards?”

BBC coverage rating: 11/10 for being on air for 5 and a half hours straight! I dread to think what would happen with ITV, 2007 Canada was bad enough

Best Driver: Jenson Button

Worst Driver: Nico Rosberg

Best team: Red Bull

Worst Team: Virgin and Lotus.. both were equally bad

Best Overtake: Schumacher on Kobayashi and Massa

Most surprising result: Button win

Least surprising result: Vettel’s podium finish

Special Mention to: Liuzzi. For finishing in front of both Virgins and the Lotus.. and also in front of his illustrious teammate. Looks like this performance seals HRT’s battle with Virgin for the year.

Race Rating: 9/10 despite the wait

Best Driver: Jenson Button

Worst Driver: Heidfeld/di Resta for forgetting they have a front wing on their car e_e

Best Team: Red Bull

Worst Team: Virgin – for stupid pit stop under safety car – what were they thinking?

Best Overtake: Schumacher’s overtake on two drivers

Best Funny-moment and Most Surprising Result: Vettel crashing off. I just laughed aloud even though I felt sorry for him. To lead all those laps and then not win must be heartbreaking.

Least Surprising Result: Vettel extending World Championship lead again

Special Mention to: Kobayashi – good race today and was unlucky

Race Rating: 10/10

Best BBC commentator/presenter: MB and DC, just absolutely brilliant. And not a single “Heidfield”!

Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Eddie Jordan – for the suggestion Lewis would take a year out >_>

Best Commentary moment: Whenever MB and DC would say something and they would be confirmed a second later. Like when MB suggested that maybe a red flag should be brought out, and it was. Then when DC suggested a Safety Car would be brought out for Heidfeld’s crash, and then the notice “Safety Car deployed” pop up. MB suggested he should enter the lottery…

S.J.M said 1 year, 11 months ago:

Best Driver: Button, 6 pitstops, drivethrough, back of the line and still won. Mammoth race.
Worst Driver: Sutil
Best Team: For having 2 finishers, Redbull
Worst Team: Ferrari, they sure can shoot themselves in the foot. Both Massa and Alonso coming in the pits together. Wasnt it Alonsos outlap of that that lead to hitting Button?
Best Overtake: Schumacher on Massa & Kobayashi
Best Funny-moment: “Racecar is Racecar Spelt backwards” Mr Brundle!
Most Surprising Result: HRTs being so high up
Least Surprising Result: VEttel still top of WDC
Special Mention to: Kobayashi / Schumacher.

Katy said 1 year, 11 months ago:

Best Driver: Michael Schumacher. Couldn’t vote Jenson due to him being involved in two collisions that resulted in DNFs for the other drivers and speeding behind the safety car.

Worst Driver: Adrian Sutil

Best Team: Red Bull

Worst Team: Virgin

Best Overtake: Schumacher on Massa and Kobayashi.

Best Funny-moment: Well the track marshall falling over was hilarious for about a second then I thought he was going to die, but once I knew he was fine it was hilarious again.

Most Surprising Result: Schumacher challenging for a podium and now being on joint points with Rosberg.

Least Surprising Result: Hamilton crashing out. I had a feeling he might.

Special Mention to: Alguersuari, for once he seemed to keep out of trouble and finished 8th after starting from the pitlane, making it a double points finish for Toro Rosso :)

Race Rating: 7/10. Epic end but far too much safety car. I don’t get the point of them having wet weather tyres when they only let them race once the track is dry enough for inters!
