Best Driver: Struggling again this week.
Worst Driver: Nasr, but only for not looking in his mirrors. No one seemed to have a really bad weekend.
Best Rookie: Werdheim for getting his Manor into Q2 again
Best Team: Mercedes
Worst Team: Torro Rosso. No pace at all.
Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Bottas.

Most Surprising Result: Hamilton's starting jitters returned
Least Surprising Result: Still ended up a Merc 1-2
Funniest moment: Alonso's radio conversations
Excuse of the week:

Special Mention: Button and Massa
Best post from the race thread:
Race Rating: 4/10. Too predictable even with Hamilton's bad start. A few good scraps and moves down the field.

 

Best Driver: i fell asleep.... button did do for his team mate though

Worst Driver: ermmm.... several went backwards by miles... pick one.
Best Rookie:. Meh.
Best Team:... all competant. Nothing stood out at all.
Worst Team: team sky in the tour of spain.. i dunno they were all pretty much unspectacular
Best Overtake: apparently being able to brake without crashing and having a total puss pull off the track qualifies so must be Ricciardo... though he had drs like...

Most Surprising Result: hamilton didn't win this
Least Surprising Result: mercedes 1/2
Funniest moment: toto wolff being a cock as per. Or maybe brundle gooing over raikkonen being behind verstappen but gaving it ruined by an immediate pitting for mad max.

Excuse of the week: hamilton trying to deny he admitted ****ing up. Saying it was to calm his engineers when they spent 19 laps trying to convince the guy to not ruin his tyres

Special Mention: for pulling car over by service road and not caslusing a safety car...

Best post from the race thread: my own no doubt
Race Rating: 5/10 saved only by a brief coyple passes at start

 

Best Driver: Ricciardo outperformed his car again
Worst Driver: No terrible performances, so I'm going for after Nasr a pretty random shove. Hamilton screwing up the one thing he had to do ran him close.
Best Rookie: Ocon did OK after a lack of running
Best Team: Merc
Worst Team: Manor for poor reliability
Best Overtake: Daniel on Bottas

Most Surprising Result: Hamilton not winning
Least Surprising Result: Merc, miles ahead at a power circuit
Funniest moment: Alonso red light Melt down
Excuse of the week: The McLaren/Jenson announcement

Special Mention: Anyone who stayed awake all the way through.
Best post from the race thread: That random rant about how awesome Hamilton is, being followed at as it was by that start.
Race Rating: 3.5/10

 

Race Rating: Meh!

 

That's a good example of why one should refrain from waving ones wanger in the face of fate.

 

Wumtastic!

 

Best Driver: Probably Riccardo
Worst Driver: Kyvat
Best Rookie: Werdheim for getting his Manor into Q2 again
Best Team: Mercedes
Worst Team: Renault
Best Overtake: Button double in turn 1/2
Most Surprising Result: Max being very quiet
Least Surprising Result: Still ended up a Merc 1-2
Funniest moment: Alonso's laughing, although I suspect Ron wouldn't agree
Excuse of the week:

Special Mention: Button's drive from the back was very good all things considered, shame FUBARd the start.
Best post from the race thread: The Wum
Race Rating: 5.5/10.

 

Best Driver: Rosberg judged his race perfectly. Ricciardo had another good day but the Ferraris were too quick for Red Bull this time.
Worst Driver: I have to agree with others: Nasr was probably the only contender.
Best Rookie: Wehrlein.
Best Team: Mercedes.
Worst Team: Toro Rosso / Sauber.
Best Overtake: Three stood out to me. In chronological order: Button v Alonso was superbly planned. There was a big smile inside that helmet. Ricciardo v Bottas was audacious and probably the most spectacular. (One wonders what reaction would have been if it had been someone else…). And finally, Verstappen v Perez – who I thought was over-cautious, thus handing it to the teenager.

Most Surprising Result: Mercedes' poor starts have become a theme for 2016, but I was surprised at just how poor Hamilton's was.
Least Surprising Result: Mercedes 1-2.
Funniest moment: I suppose Alonso's red light (?) was marginally funnier than Eddie Jordan's cringe-worthy efforts to artificially enthuse an already enthusiastic crowd.
Excuse of the week: Not sure if 'excuse' is the right word but I too am a little surprised at the new Button / McLaren situation.

Special Mention: Positive: Massa. Button. Negative: Rosberg being booed is disgraceful behaviour. How he handled it was exceptional and admirable.
Best post from the race thread: Bhaji always manages to amuse me.
Race Rating: 5.05/10

 

That's generous!
