Best Driver: Vettel sneaks it over Hamilton and Massa in my eyes, plus it upsets less people. Worst Driver: Grosjean steals it from Kimi with his wandering into a Manor Best Rookie (Nasr, Verstappen, Sainz, Stevens, Mehri): Sainz, Verstappen did ok too Best Team: Mercedes Worst Team: McLaren Best Overtake: Massa on Ericsson Funniest-moment: Alonso not playing Most Surprising Result: ermm....

Best Driver: going leftfield with this. Alonso. He was a sitting duck to everyone, but made them work for it. Vettel was a bit scrappy and Hamilton had a few moments. Worst Driver: Grosjean. Best Rookie (Nasr, Verstappen, Sainz, Stevens, Mehri):Sainz Best Team: Mercedes Worst Team: M-HRT Best Overtake: Massa on Ericsson, nearly endd in tears good driving from both. Funniest-moment: Alonso's 'amateur' call Most Surprising Result: Maldonado making it all the way to the finish Least Surprising Result: Mercedes Special Mention to: Hamilton, Vettel, Bottas, Massa and Hulk Race Rating:7/10 a bit boring for Canada, where was the crash, SC, rain?
Hard to pick a driver of the day above Vettel. Great drive from near the back. If there'd been a usual Canadian curveball, who knows where he might have wound up. Man of the day for me.
yeah, there were some good drives all the way down the field, but I didn;t give it to Vettel because he nearly lost his nose against Alonso and preferred an early pit-stop to having another shot at attempting to over-take the M-HRT, and the Hulk let him off lightly when he tried a similar 'senna-esque' move. I was actually tempted to give it to Pastor simply for finishing.
Best Driver: Massa over Vettel for a clean recovery drive; Hulk and Nando for punching above their weight but getting punished; Maldo for a sensible, mature drive and a heroic second stint, way beyond what Pirelli thought possible Worst Driver: Grosjean - did he swap brains with Maldo? Best Rookie: Sainz, Stevens Best Team: Williams over Mercedes due to Merc's shall-we-say conservative approach to racing Worst Team: McLaren, Red Bull Best Overtake: Massa on Ericsson; Sainz on Ricciardo Funniest-moment: 'Play-it-safe' Pastor's ultra-cautious driving; EJ's breathtaking cheek in asking Jonathan Neale whether he agreed that Ron should resign Most Surprising Result: Pastor safely in the points Least Surprising Result: Mercedes 1-2; McLaren double DNF Special Mention to: Hamilton, he won after all Race Rating: 6.5/10 - moderately underwhelming but not uneventful

Race Rating: 1/10
Best Driver: Vettel Worst Driver: Stevens Best Rookie (Nasr, Verstappen, Sainz, Stevens, Mehri): Sainz Best Team: Mercedes needs to slow down Worst Team: Mclaren. Best Overtake: Hah, you joking? There were overtakes? Funniest-moment: Kimi proving me right that he's no better than average. Most Surprising Result: Kvyat was faster in every session over Ricciardo. Least Surprising Result: Mercedes call team orders early yet nobody can see it. Special Mention to: Both Mclaren drivers, they deserve so much more Race Rating: 2/10 - Easily the worst race of the year so far.
