• Best Driver: Hulkenburg, what a drive, very unlucky with what was a RACING INCIDENT you idiotic stewards!
• Worst Driver: Dire Resta
• Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Pic
• Best Team: Ferrari - took second in the constructors, and got the best possible result today with the car they had.
• Worst Team: HRT - for being so slow in the pitstops
• Best Overtake: Alonso's double overtake on Webber and Massa
• Funniest-moment: Kimi's off-track adventures. I also found Ferrari's fail with the Italian radio message quite amusing.
• Most Surprising Result: I can't limit this to just one
• Least Surprising Result: Double podium for Ferrari
• Special Mention to: Vettel, 3x WDC
• Race Rating: 9/10 - taking one away for the lack of action in the final 10 laps, and the dull safety car finish

Best Driver: Vettel - Brilliant recovery under the greatest pressure. Shame on him for stealing da Costa's rodeo celebration though.

Worst Driver: Probably di Resta
Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Vergne - Only just realised he got 8th
Best Team: McLaren - quickest yesterday and should've had a double podium
Worst Team: Hard to tell with the mixed conditions who'd gambled on what, no one had a shocker
Best Overtake: Raikkonen on Schumacher - not sure if he actually made it stick but he hung on brilliantly round the outside of turn 1 and was ahead later on, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt
Funniest-moment: Raikkonen - I thought he was on his way back to the airport for a minute
Most Surprising Result: Petrov 11th - if Raikkonen hadn't come back it would've been Caterham's first point
Least Surprising Result: The weather doing the exact opposite of what the teams were saying
Special Mention to: Too many really - there was a lot of good driving and a lot of people driving for their team for the last time
Race Rating: 10/10 - Fitting finale, everything was heightened by what was at stake

Best Commentator/Presenter overall: Both the BBC guys made a few mistakes but I enjoyed their coverage nonetheless. Jake said at the end that the whole season will be on BBC next year. Is this genuine or misleading?

 

To be fair, in wet conditions with a car suffering frequent brake failures, I wouldn't want to be Karthikeyan's front jackman. They probably didn't leave the garage until the car had come to a complete standstill.

 

I heard that myself too, or does he mean between live races and highlights ?

 

Probably that. Unless the BBC were able to change the deal?

 

I'm guessing that's what it will be. I don't see why the BBC feel the need to try to con us, we have to pay the license fee whether they show it live or not.

Least Surprising Result: Hamilton's continuing bad luck
Special Mention to: Alonso, Button, Hulk and Hamilton
Race Rating: 9/10
Best Commentator/Presenter overall: Commentary was poor today

 

Best Driver: Button -beautifully controlled race, made some good judgements on the weather along with the team, and appeared to be the only driver who could keep it dead on the dry line all race

Worst Driver: di Resta - losing hope with him, and I can see why Mclaren and Sauber didn't go for him. He's quite a tactical driver, knows when to give up a place to ensure his pace is consistent, but he's not aggressive enough, which caused to lose so many places.

Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Pic - not a bad race from him. Congrats on being the only Virgin/Marrussia rookie to drive for more than 1 year

Best Team: Mclaren - extremely fast all weekend, should have had a 1-2 finish, but their bad luck had to return

Worst Team: HRT - hope they dont turn up for next season, utterly dreadful all year

Best Overtake: Alonso on Webber and Massa into Turn 1

Funniest-moment: Kimi for his detour. He managed to get in and out pretty quickly, so for Kimi's sake, they should have a Gymkhana GP!

Most Surprising Result: Hulkenberg finishing 5th despite punting Hamilton out

Least Surprising Result: Alonso on the podium

Special Mention to: Massa - I dont like Massa, but credit where it's due, he was on fire today, he's really turned his career round

Race Rating: 8/10

Best Commentator/Presenter overall: I think Jake was better than the other BBC lot. Ben Edwards is getting a bit bland, and started to make a few mistakes.

 

Best Driver: Seb Vettel
Worst Driver: Di Resta - just really bad once again
Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Pic, Vergne
Best Team: McLaren - should've been a 1-2 honestly, they were the strongest for sure
Worst Team: Hard to really pick anyone honestly
Best Overtake: Alonso going past Webber and Phil into turn 1
Funniest-moment: Kimi going off track, realising he couldn't get through, spinning the car around and then saying **** it and going up through the grass
Most Surprising Result: The Hulk leading the race multiple times and still finishing 5th after all the crap
Least Surprising Result: Once again Alonso doing everything he could and finishing on the podium once again
Special Mention to: Good ol' Phil Massa doing a superb job and getting on the podium in the penultimate race at his home GP. Really happy for him. Also to Hulk, drove brilliantly and then was penalized for a racing incident...very silly
Race Rating: 8/10
Best Commentator/Presenter overall: The entire Speed F1 team, being the last race they would ever all commentate on together for Speed, its to difficult to pick any one person.
