Best Driver: Alonso Worst Driver: Kvyat Best Rookie: Wehrlein Best Team: merc Worst Team: RBR Best Overtake: Alonso's cheeky 'round the outside of turn 3, took more places than Hamiltons cut. Most Surprising Result: 2 McHRT's in the points. Least Surprising Result: Rosberg Funniest moment: much bleeping of Anglo-Saxon Excuse of the week: "they've changed my pit crew" Special Mention: hmm, Rosberg, faultless, Perez for the recovery after Danny tagged him, KMag, Grosjean Best post from the race thread: Race Rating: 6/10 like during Vettels dominant seasons, if you ignore the lack of a race for the lead the rest of it was decent, plenty of over-taking
Excuse of the week has to be Boullier saying fuel saving cost the team 50 seconds and that Alonso should've been fourth.
Best Driver: K Mag Worst Driver: Kyvat for conduct, Palmer for performance. Best Rookie: Wehrlein Best Team: Merc Worst Team: McLaren - I know it seems out of place, but if you take into account Alonso's first corner by pass and the retirement of Vettle, Verstappen, Hulk and the hampered Perez, Riccardo and Kyvat they would have likely been out of the points. Kept very honest by K Mag in a Renault? Best Overtake: Lewis on Kimi Most Surprising Result: Two McLarens finishing and in the points Least Surprising Result: Lewis on the podium Funniest moment: much bleeping of Anglo-Saxon Excuse of the week: "they've changed my pit crew" Special Mention: Grosjean and Alonso Best post from the race thread: Fevriul: All this token business is complete bollocks, it's making F1 sound like a bad game of Dungeons and Dragons!
