    Best Driver: Button
    Worst Driver: Rosberg - blew it again, how many times has he ****ed up this season only to be bailed out by the car? Pathetic title challenge.
    Best Rookie (Magnussen, Kvyat, Ericsson): Ericsson

    Worst Team: Seems harsh to give it to Marussia in the circumstances, but they only completed nine laps and fielded the weakest driver line up in F1 history.

    Best Overtake: Vergne on Magnussen
    Funniest-moment: -
    Most Surprising Result: Toro Rosso being so **** in the race after being so good in qualifying
    Least Surprising Result: Mercedes

    Best Driver: KMag - I'm struggling to give it to Hamilton because he didn't do anything special.
    Worst Driver: Rosberg
    Best Rookie (Magnussen, Kvyat, Ericsson): Ericsson - apparently with the right brakes he might be able to drive after all
    Best Team: Mercedes
    Worst Team: Force India

    Best Overtake: Not sure if it counts as an overtake, but the Vergne-Magnussen tussle around turn 3 was reasonable
    Funniest-moment: Putin listening to British and German anthems on the podium
    Most Surprising Result: Button 4th?
    Least Surprising Result: Mercedes 1-2

    Special Mention to: I feel I've under-appreciated Hamilton, so him and to the whole Marussia outfit and Jules.

    Best Driver: Hamilton, Bottas, Button, all very good, Hamilton just edges out those two for me, Pole, Lead every lap and if he disabled cruise control, could have nabbed Fastest lap if he wanted to, a couple of in-car shots of him in the early parts of the GP, he was pumping in fastest laps, whilst looking as if he was out for a leisurely Sunday drive with the wife and dogs!
    Worst Driver: Kvyat (good quali, poor race), Kimi (again 20+ seconds if not more behind his teammate) or Sutil (so poor the Gutierrez was better then him for most of the race weekend!), sod it, they were all ****e, so they can share the award!
    Best Rookie (Magnussen, Kvyat, Ericsson): Magnussen, good race weekend, solid quali, good race and a great catch round turn 3 when his suspension failed!
    Best Team: Mercedes
    Worst Team: Redbull, now where in quali and the race!

    Best Overtake: Vergne around Magnussen in turn 3!
    Funniest-moment: None...
    Most Surprising Result: McLaren looking good all weekend
    Least Surprising Result: Merc 1-2 and another Rosberg cockup!

    Special Mention to: Marussia, even turning up so soon after what happened, couldn't have been easy for all involved!
    Race Rating: /10 0.0000000001 out of 10 and it should count itselt lucky with that score!

    Best Commentator/Presenter - Thankfully didn't have to listen to The Crofty One, so anyone but him, must admit, do like Brundle, shame they couldn't pair him with DC, like the BBC days!

    Ummmmm. What followed next was he was extremely lucky with the tyres and the track.

    How could he best after that embarrassment of a first corner? Way too many shockers for Rosberg at the moment. He looks all at sea.

    Sure the first corner was a really stupid mistake. He had to overtake about 2/3's of the field to get back to 2nd including a quick Bottas that deserves some credit. He was the only driver providing entertainment at this race so thats why I voted him.

    He did a lot of work to get back into it, but on any other circuit he would have to have stopped again. Lucky lucky boy. Could have been championship over right there.
