    &#8226;Best Driver: Vettel
    &#8226;Worst Driver: Grosjean for causing mayhem in the first corner
    &#8226;Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Vergne & Ricciardo, they looked very pacey today
    &#8226;Best Team: Torro Rosso
    &#8226;Worst Team: Mercedes
    &#8226;Best Overtake: Raikkonen on Schuey
    &#8226;Funniest-moment: The Marussias scrapping it out together, but good on them, we need to see more of that
    &#8226;Most Surprising Result: Alonso not on the podium!!!
    &#8226;Least Surprising Result: Button
    &#8226;Special Mention to: Grosjean - he needs to be dragged over the coals for causing what could have been a fatal accident today. When you're all boxed in like that you have to use yer noodle. Watching him flying across Alonso like that sends shivers down my spine.
    &#8226;Race Rating: 5/10 I was really looking forward to the Saubers having a great race

    Best driver: Jenson Button - anyone else and you're biased or deluded

    Worst driver: Romain Grosjean. Also sealed the worst driver of the season after what he caused at the start (unless Maldonado can do something equally stupid and dangerous). And it's something I've been raging about ever since 2009 when he was ruining people's races (remember taking Button out at Spa in 2009?). Shocking.

    Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Vergne. Was very happy for him because he and Toro Rosso have had a tough year but today they drove well especially Vergne.

    Best Team: McLaren - the speed Jenson showed since yesterday was outstanding and they duly delivered. Great news for McLaren fans.

    Worst Team: Mercedes - yet again the race pace is just not there. Kudos to Michael Schumacher for doing a stunning job in the first part of the race but ultimately the lack of pace and tyre issues in that car tagged him back.

    Best Overtake: Schumacher on Raikonnen (round the outside at the end of the straight) AND THEN Raikonnen on Schumacher up Eau Rouge. Great racing from the Kings of Spa.

    Funniest-moment: Raikonnen calling for MORE POWER!

    Most Surprising Result: Alonso not in the points

    Least Surprising Result: Raikonnen and Schumacher entertaining and thrilling us once again at Spa.

    Special Mention to: Alonso, Perez and Hamilton all of whom I was interested in following their progress this afternoon but for one mindless idiot. Thank god Alonso was alright. He was inches from death.

    Best Driver: Jenson Button (Pole position and a win after leading every single lap)
    Worst Driver: Romain Grosjean (He should think himself lucky he's only gonna miss 1 race)
    Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Ricciardo/Vergne (Great stuff from both Toro Rossos, hard to pick a stand-out between them)
    Best Team: McLaren (Can't really add anything here, they were just awesome)
    Worst Team: Red Bull (How Vettel got 2nd place is beyond me, they completely mis-called their setup for this race)
    Best Overtake: Raikkonen on Schumacher (Carbon-copy of Webber's pass on Alonso last year)
    Funniest-moment: Kimi Raikkonen (Raging on the radio, darting past Button into the pits after the race...just Kimi being Kimi I suppose)
    Most Surprising Result: Kobayashi on the front row (Gutted that he couldn't get anything from it, but a strong statement of intent from Sauber)
    Least Surprising Result: Maldonado and Grosjean (It's getting beyond a joke now)
    Special Mention to: Michael Schumacher (Congratulations on making it to 300 grands prix)
    Race Rating: 8/10 (Marred by the first lap carnage, but a fantastic race otherwise)
    Best Commentator overall: Can't say (I don't have Sky so I can't pass fair judgement)
