Disappointment of the year has to be the way Mclaren have gone backwards, from having the best car at Melbourne to what they currently have now…4th in constructors says it all, to not take advantage really has been a huge disappointment, Hamilton should of had a decent lead by now, if it wasn’t for silly mistakes by Mclaren…

For clarification and to avoid any confusion; there is indeed a difference between the season rating and the championship rating.

Season rating → How good is the racing?
Championship rating → How exciting is the championship?

For example, 2007 had horrible racing but a brilliant championship. 2011 was the exact opposite. This season however, in my opinion we’ve got the best of both sides. :)

Best driver: Fernando Alonso, in the first 4 races he had a very bad car, but he is leading the championship
Worst driver: Narain Karthikeyan, nowhere near de la Rosa and he is every time last
Best team: Ferrari, they have made big progress throughout the season
Worse team: HRT, Marussia have passed them
Most improved driver: Sergio Perez, two podiums
Least improved driver: Kamui Kobayashi, he is miles behind his teammate
Most improved team: Williams, consistent in the points, plus a win
Least improved team: Toro Rosso, Caterham will soon pass them
Best rookie: Romain Grosjean, 2 podiums, tied in performance with Raikkonen (if he counts, if not it’s Pic, because he has passed Glock a few times)
Best race: Valencia, who would think about it before the race?
Worse race: Monaco
Best performance: Pirelli
Best season moment: Schumi crying about his podium
Best overtaking move: Alonso on Grosjean at Valencia
Disappointment of the year: Felipe Massa
Flop of the year: Schumacher’s car reliability
EXTRA: Drive of the year: Alonso – Valencia

Season rating: 9/10
Championship rating: 10/10

Constructors champion? Red Bull
Drivers champion? Fernando Alonso

@kingshark : Sorry mate. At the start Ithou it was what you meant but then I saw the others best performance and I saw what they had and wrote about Pirelli. My fault, I must learn not relying on others about understanding things

Best driver: Fernando Alonso – without a doubt
Worst driver: Bruno Senna – not anywhere near his teammate.
Best team: McLaren – not because of their drivers, but looking at technical innovation they have been the leading team by a long way.
Worst team: HRT – have been more busy Spanifying their team than actually improving their performance: the car must be the least inspired design of the last 10 year.
Most improved driver: Romain Grosjean – great driver
Least improved driver: Jenson Button – what happened to him?
Most improved team: Williams
Least improved team: HRT again
Best rookie: ‘rookie’ Grosjean
Best race: Valencia
Worst race: Bahrain – for political reasons
Best performance: Pastor Maldonado in Spain
Best season moment: Alonso’s Valencia celebration
Best overtaking move: Grosjean on Hamilton in Valencia
Disappointment of the year: Jenson Button
Flop of the year: McLaren

Season rating: 7 – exiting, but it has become a bit too Las Vegas for me.
Championship rating: 9 – impossible to say who will lead in three races time

Constructors champion? Red Bull
Drivers champion? Fernando Alonso would be great!
