    Best Driver: Nico Hulkenburg – Had a very good race pace that enabled him to battle Grosjean and made a fantastic overtake on Hamilton and Grosjean.
    Worst Driver: Kamui Kobayashi – From hero to zero; very clumsy move which won’t help him retain his seat for next year.
    Best Team: Red Bull – Very quick all weekend, though Ferrari aren’t too far behind.
    Worst Team: McLaren – Poor reliability again as Hamilton’s rear axle broke (which apparently is what caused the lack of pace after the first stint), and with Button retiring they are now down to 3rd in the constructors.
    Best Overtake: Hulkenburg on Hamilton and Grosjean.
    Best Funny- moment: Hamilton’s day going from bad to worse when astroturf got stuck on his sidepod.
    Most Surprising Result: Massa 4th and looking like the faster of the two Ferrari’s.
    Least Surprising Result: Vettel winning.
    Special Mention to: Torro Rosso on the double points finish (could this be James Key’s influence already?).
    Race Rating: 8/10

    Best Driver: Sebastian Vettel – No-one could match him.
    Worst Driver: Kamui Kobayashi – Maybe he got a little excited after last week’s podium…

    Worst Team: Williams – Kind of… just… nowhere.
    Best Overtake: Nico Hulkenberg on Lewis Hamilton and Romain Grosjean – Pure Class!

    I’d also like to say, I think it’s funny that ALL of J.E-V’s points finishes… have been 8th place.

    Best Driver: Vettel — did he ever look like being beaten?

    Best Commentary moment: Ben Edwards getting excited at what was a very dull race

    Best Driver: Vettel
    Worst Driver: Kobayashi. Two first-lap nutcases in 7 days, gotta feel sorry for Nico Rosberg.
    Best Team: Red Bull, and hats off to Toro Rosso – their set-up worked a treat here
    Worst Team: Williams
    Best Overtake: Hulkenberg
    Best Funny- moment: Vettel saving a bit of champagne for Johnny Herbert.
    Most Surprising Result: Massa’s speed (4th was no surprise though…wish they’d sent him after Webber)
    Least Surprising Result: Vettel and Webber 1-2
    Special Mention to: Hulkenberg and Vergne
    Race Rating: 5/10

    Best BBC commentator/presenter: James Allen for staying away from what’s obviously a race too far.
    Worst commentator/ presenter: Anyone who was on about Gangnam Style all weekend.
    World feed rating: 5/10 It looked cool the first time, but how many times did they show the front of a Red Bull bouncing and wobbling over the kerbs?! Track and paddock looked awful on TV, they couldn’t hide that.

    Best Driver: Vettel. Hulkenberg was good as well, but Vettel was just very fast and very consistent at that.
    Worst Driver: Kobayashi I guess. That move was just stupid.
    Best Team: Red Bull.
    Worst Team: McLaren. What a mess that team is at the moment. If they can’t find something or someone to stumble over, they bring a big log themselves, just to make sure that if there is a chance of getting a useful result they can all fall over it at once, to stop that from happening. What if they actually came about a trophy of some sort?!
    Best Overtake: Hulkenberg on Grosjean and Hamilton. Superb!
    Best Funny- moment: Massa falling back from Alonso, and then banging in a FLAP. He was just playing around back there. And then of cause Hamilton doing some gardening. That was quite funny.
    Most Surprising Result: McLaren getting just one point.
    Least Surprising Result: Red Bull winning.
    Special Mention to: Massa. He could have been second, but Ferrari (understandably) stopped him trying.
    Race Rating: 6/10
