F1 Fanatic

Best Driver: Romain Grosjean – started strong, some good overtaking, setting good times. His only mistake was on the restart after the safety car, had his engine not failed I’m sure he would have taken Alonso!
Worst Driver: Jean-Eric Vergne – what was that move on Kovalainen
Best Team: This is a tough one as I don’t think any team did particularly brilliantly as a whole. I’ll say Force India – they got both their drivers in the points even with a broken KERS and bad strategy (pure luck that di Resta’s one stop didn’t fail)
Worst Team: Toro Rosso – they looked worse than normal all weekend, although Ricciardo says they’ve learnt a lot of good things
Best Overtake: Grosjean on Hamilton and Alonso on Grosjean – both close, both worked
Best Funny- moment: I can’t think of a funny moment, the best awww moment was when Horner gave Vettel a hug after his retirement, their body language was rather sweet!
Most Surprising Result: Schumacher getting to the podium – a lot of luck and some good driving
Least Surprising Result: Maldonado – being too aggressive and causing an accident
Special Mention to: Alonso – p11 to p1 at his home race, a good drive taking advantage of circumstances and an emotional win
Race Rating: 10/10

BBC vs Sky:
Best BBC/Sky commentator/presenter: Nick Heidfeld – very interesting insights and well formed opinions
Worst BBC/Sky commentator/ presenter: Lazenby – it’s about time he learnt to stop saying stupid things
Best Commentary moment: nothing really stood out in this race – other than Brundle/Kravitz thinking Raikkonen was under investigation for overtaking under yellow when race control was clearly showing Hamilton, but that’s not really a ‘best’ moment!
World feed rating: 8/10

Best Driver: Fernando Alonso
Worst Driver: Felipe Massa
Best Team: Caterham
Worst Team: Toro Rosso
Best Overtake: Alonso on Grosjean/Webber
Best Funny- moment: Senna on the worng side of the circuit and then on the right again
Most Surprising Result: Schumacher on the finish line and the podium
Least Surprising Result: Maldonado crashing
Special Mention to: Kimi, Grosjean, Schumi, Hulkenberg,Vettel and Webber
Race Rating: 10/10

World feed rating: 9/10

Best Driver: This is a tricky one. Alonso was spectacular and Grosjean was also very impressive. But I really have to give it Vettel. A great pole position and a fantastic start; he has the phenomenal ability to whip up an impressive gap. A close second to Alonso, who carved through the field. It’s a shame that Vettel and Grosjean retired; it could’ve been a titanic scrap for the lead between the three.

Worst Driver: I was a huge fan of him in British F3, but today Jean-Eric Vergne was a let-down. He was outperformed by Dan and also had that bizzare incident with Kovalainen (which is a shame, as Caterham was looking racy today).

Best Team: Force India, for a double points finish and running in the top ten for the majority of the race.

Worst Team: Toro Rosso for finishing out of the points.

Best Overtake: Alonso on Grosjean- exciting stuff!

Best Funny- moment: The marshal placing the Superman plush on Alonso’s race-winning car

Most Surprising Result: Schumacher on the podium

Least Surprising Result: Marussia out of the top ten

Special Mention to: RoGro, Alonso, Webber, Schumi, Hulk- fantastic driving from these guys

Race Rating: 9/10- who says Valenica is boring?

Best Driver: Alonso, for the great win and epic celebrations or Vettel for the sublime driving all weekend until his car gave up.
Worst Driver: Vergne or Kobayashi, each for some stupid moves. Maldonado was getting far more out of his Williams than Senna did, so I wouldn’t consider him the worst.
Best Team: Force India
Worst Team: STR, for a combination of slow pace and even worse driving, all weekend.
Best Overtake: Alonso on Grosjean
Best Funny- moment:
Most Surprising Result: Schumacher podium!
Least Surprising Result: Massa out of the points
Special Mention to: SCHUMACHER for the 3rd place finish! Hulkenberg and Grosjean were good as well.
Race Rating: 10/10

Best Driver: Sebastian Vettel – Easily the class of the field yesterday and today. Was very unlucky today.
Worst Driver: Timo Glock – It was like he didn’t even turn up… oh wait…
On a more serious note, Vergne’s move was stupid, but so was Maldonado’s. Massa was poor, but for me, it’s Kobayashi. He clattered into a number of people :/
Best Team: Mercedes – Probably had the best strategy.
Worst Team: Toro Rosso – Just poor. Having fallen back into the clutches of Caterham.
Best Overtake: Grosjean on Hamilton. Not many people pull a move like that on Lewis. I was mighty impressed.
Best Funny- moment: Massa’s tyre, looked like someone had just cut part of it off.
Most Surprising Result: Alonso winning from 11th?! :L
Least Surprising Result: Vettel dominating from the start. HRT last.
Special Mention to: Alonso, Grosjean, Hulkenberg, Raikkonen, Schumacher, Webber, Caterham
Race Rating: 6/10

Best Driver: Alonso – he’s had the race of his life today.
Worst Driver: a tie between Maldonado, Senna and Vergne…all acting incredibly stupid.
Best Team: Mercedes AMG – finally capitalizing on every chance they got and putting Schumi & Rosberg way up into the points.
Worst Team: a tie between Williams – for putting two of the worst drivers F1 ever had on the grid and Torro Rosso – who are more on a downward spiral every race.
Best Overtake: Grosjean on Hamilton at the beginning of the race. Pure balls.
Best Funny-moment: McLaren in the pits, as per usual.
Most Surprising Result: Schumacher on the podium.
Least Surprising Result: HRTs closing the field even with everyone in front of them having trouble of some sort.
Special Mention to:
The positive: Vettel and Grosjean. They would have been P1 and P2, without a doubt if it weren’t for the mechanical failures.
The negative: FIA for rushing to hand inconsistent penalties all over the place but still taking time to question Schumacher’s drive.
Race Rating: 10/10

Best Driver: Alonso – Stunning drive up through the grid.
Worst Driver: Jean Eric Vergne – Showing his lack of experience.
Best Team: Force India/Caterham – both put in fantastic performances compared to preceding grands prix.
Worst Team: McLaren – As much as I hate to say it, they really dropped the ball again this weekend, simply too many mistakes.
Best Overtake: Both of Alonso’s into Turn 2.
Best Funny- moment: The overly touchy-feely marshals and Alonso at the end.
Most Surprising Result: Schumacher on the podium – About time!
Least Surprising Result: The Williams – so much wasted promise.
Special Mention to: Raikkonen/Lotus – Surely a win’s got to come soon?
Race Rating: 9 and a half/10

Best BBC commentator/presenter: EJ, because… y’know, EJ.
Best Commentary moment: Ben Edward’s noise when Hamilton and Maldonado hit. He’s fantastic at stuff like that, and you can tell he really loves F1.
World feed rating: 6/10 – Poor stuff today, kept cutting away from the action, and the replays were often poorly ordered. The graphics are getting better and better, though.
