Best Driver: Alonso. There were some easy DRS passes going on – but never at the front. Clever use of KERS by the leader, I suspect.
Worst Driver: Grosjean, is the honeymoon over?
Best Team: Sauber, great result.
Worst Team: Williams, not sure whether Maldonado was unlucky or ran over debris, but he seemed to go backwards in the race.
Best Overtake: Raikkonen making it past di Resta
Best Funny- moment: Finger Boy giving Hamilton several fingers.
Most Surprising Result: Webber nowhere. Good to see JB back where he belongs too.
Least Surprising Result: Damage for Massa and Senna
Special Mention to: McLaren’s immense pit stop, and Raikkonen’s clean and classy overtaking. Not bad for a rally driver!
Race Rating: 7/10 Pretty good race on a rubbish track. Enjoyed Vettel struggling for pace but still throwing the kitchen sink at it.

BBC vs Sky: Saw a bit of Sky today, glad I’m not paying for it. Brundle and Croft thought Hamilton should’ve got a blue flag when he was behind Alonso (but clear of Vettel)?!
Best BBC/Sky commentator/presenter: Lee McKenzie, hopefully the future face of F1 on BBC. Asks good questions and doesn’t patronise her audience.
Worst BBC/Sky commentator/ presenter: that Simon guy is hopeless
Best Commentary moment: Coulthard saying Sauber couldn’t afford chairs for their mechanics (maybe they’ll get some prize money soon!)
World feed rating: 8/10 Sehr gut. Followed the action well, and I love the flying camera, it’s Hockenheim’s only redeeming feature.
