Best Overtake: Hamilton on Vettel for how long I waited for it Other than that... Kimi
Funniest-moment: Some interesting commentary

Special Mention to: poor Massa
Race Rating: 9.5/10 - really enjoyed it tbh. Had both action and tension
Best Commentator/Presenter overall: Eddie's digs all weekend.

 

Best Driver: Hamilton. Probably his best win since Nurburgring last year. Thought this was going to be a walk in the park for Vettel all weekend but Hamilton clearly had other ideas. A sensational drive to beat easily the fastest car on the grid.
Worst Driver: No one really merited it IMO
Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Ricciardo
Best Team: McLaren - excellent race pace. Real shame we haven't seen more of Jenson and Lewis on the podium together more. They've yet to really have a faultless weekend but I thought they got it bang on in the race today with some fantastic driving from both guys.
Worst Team: Mercedes - as I've said before - was this really the team that started the season looking relatively strong and WINNING a GP?
Best Overtake: Hamilton on Vettel. Maldonado on Senna though was something as well. Both very close precision driving
Funniest-moment: Cowboy podium hats?!
Most Surprising Result: Vettel not winning as I expected?
Least Surprising Result: Alonso on the podium
Special Mention to: Felipe Massa - I think over the last few races we've got closer to the Massa we all knew and love from 08 and 09. Well in Felipe!
Race Rating: 8.5/10 - Superb debut race from Austin. AND it seems it's a Tilke racetrack I actually quite like!
Best Commentator/Presenter overall: Martin Brundle and David Coulthard.

 

Considering that Hamilton won... 3/10 is very generous from Kyle.

 

• Best Driver: Hamilton
  
• Worst Driver: Schumacher
  
• Best Rookie: Grosjean
  
• Best Team: Red Bull
  
• Worst Team: Mercedes
  
• Best Overtake: Several. However, I know I am limited to two choices, which are highlighted in bold: Button on Perez; Räikkönen on Hamilton; Hulkenberg on Schumacher; Hamilton on Webber; Button on Schumacher; Räikkönen on Hulkenberg; Hamilton on Räikkönen; Maldonado on Senna; Maldonado on Schumacher; Button on Räikkönen; Maldonado on Senna; Räikkönen on Massa; Hamilton on Vettel. Despite what I said a moment ago, the importance of this leaves Hamilton's move ahead of all others.
  
• Funniest-moment: Podium Hats.
  
• Most Surprising Result: McLaren reliabilty.
  
• Least Surprising Result: Alonso finishing higher than his grid slot.
  
• Special Mention to: Cshumacher or whatever his name is, for doing whatever he's done before retiring properly. (He couldn't even do that properly).
  
• Race Rating: 9.12/10
  
• Best Commentator/Presenter overall: Ben Edwards is infinitely better than the crofter, although I admit to not hearing either's commentary on this occasion.

 

I found that more beer solved that particular problem.

 

I'll drink to that

 

Best Driver: Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa
Worst Driver: Schumacher, Heikki
Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Ricciardo
Best Team: Red Bull
Worst Team: Mercedes
Best Overtake: Kimi on Massa, Jenson on Kimi.
Funniest-moment: Getting those cowboy hats, was waiting for the pistols.
Most Surprising Result: A new track "tilkwise" working really well.
Least Surprising Result: Renault trying to piss on RBR's parade.
Special Mention to: Hulk, did well in qualifying but got done over by Ferrari gearbox switch.
Race Rating: 8/10
Best Commentator/Presenter overall: BBC, Sky were ****......again!

 

Best Driver: For me between Hamilton, Vettel and Massa, I'm gonna give it to Massa, the boy was quick this weekend and he took one for the team and still nearly ended up on the podium, this sort of form in 2013 will ensure he's with them in 2014!
Worst Driver: None really stoodout, Schumi went backwards during the race but thats more car than him.
Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Riccriardo, had Grosjean not spun and cost himself time, he'd have got my vote..
Best Team: Between McLaren and RBR, will give it to McLaren this time, they got both cars to the finish and one of them won!
Worst Team: Mercedes, as I've said before, with their resources, they're pound for pound the worst team on the grid!
Best Overtake: Bucket loads (which was great to see!), but the most important one was for the lead so will give it to Hamilton on Vettel (special mention to Kimi on Hulk and Massa on Kimi round the outside of turn two!)
Funniest-moment: Cowboy hats on the podium, I want one!
Most Surprising Result: McLaren not imploding when in the lead!
Least Surprising Result: Alonso on the podium
Special Mention to: COTA - Great track, best Tilkedrome to date!
Race Rating: 9/10, action from start to end!
Best Commentator/Presenter overall: Stuck with Sky during this race, so will give it to Brundle, "I Crofticous" gets worse by the race!"
