    Best Driver: Vettel
    Worst Driver: Button and Hulkenberg let themselves down both in terms of pace and crashes
    Best Rookie (inc. Rossi): A tie. Rossi did well on his debut, while Verstappen's comeback was overshadowed by the nontroversy at the end
    Best Team: Ferrari
    Worst Team: Lotus - the off-track turmoil is clearly taking its toll, they have been atrocious since Spa
    Best Overtake: Sainz for somehow not hitting Grosjean at the end

    Most Surprising Result: The top 3
    Least Surprising Result: both Mclarens out
    Funniest moment: The track invader
    Excuse of the week: Button

    Special Mention: Kvyat should have finished higher but got caught out twice by the safety cars; Perez solid again.

    Race Rating: 4/10 - a combination of large field spread and lack of overtaking does not a good race make.

    Best Driver: Vettel.
    Worst Driver: Not impressed with Hulkenberg and Stevens will feel he let himself down in being comprehensively dominated by someone in the throes of losing his F1 virginity!
    Best Rookie: Rossi! No question in my mind. A clumsy and expensive error in Practice 1, yet he overcame the mental gremlins this normally induces to completely dominate the more established driver who knows the car well.
    Best Team: Ferrari.
    Worst Team: McLaren.
    Best Overtake: Despite his tyre advantage at the time, Verstappen's move on Grosjean was another example of how readily he exploits an opportunity.
    Most Surprising Result: Mercedes not on the podium! Who'd have thought it?!
    Least Surprising Result: Safety Car at Singapore.
    Funniest moment: The reason for the second one! (See above).
    Excuse of the week: Mercedes complete lack thereof just when they really need it! Although admirable in principle – the integrity of which I personally applaud – one has to question the wisdom of broadcasting one's complete lack of understanding. I like openness and honesty but one must be careful not to be judged as naîve.

    Special Mention: Lotus. The uncertainty surrounding the team was playing on every one of its members.
    Best post from the race thread: I confess to having not read it all but I'll go with EMSC's reference to (wait, let me copy this…;) ) 5ILV3R4RROW!
    Race Rating: 4.9/10
