Best Driver: Hamilton by a country mile. Worst Driver: I was going to say Button, but I think that would be unfair considering the amount of time he lost in the practice sessions. Instead, I'll go for Senna with Button a close second. Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Grosjean, no doubt. Best Team: Not really any stand out teams so I'll go with Sauber for a solid performance. Worst Team: Again a bit tricky, but I think I'll go with Williams. Special mention to Ferrari though for arsing up a chance of a podium. Best Overtake: Rosberg on Raikkonen Funniest-moment: I remember laughing at something but I can't remember what. I'll come back and edit if I remember. Most Surprising Result: Button only finishing in front of the 3 backmarkers and Senna. Least Surprising Result: Karthikeyan showing just how poor he is. Special Mention to: Perez and Grosjean. Excellent drives on a 1 stop race. Race Rating: 7/10, I want to give more but the middle was rather dull. Best Commentator overall: I watched on a Sky stream so it was a bit difficult to say. Gone off Brundle a bit so I guess I'll say Ted?

Best Driver: Perez Worst Driver: Button Rock Bottom.

Best Driver: Grosjean Worst Driver: Button. Senna was slow for a Williams, Button was slow full stop, and entirely his own fault for burning up super-softs in qualifying. Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Grosjean Best Team: Sauber - not much in it though, Ferrari and Red Bull ruled out by trying the one-stopper Worst Team: HRT Best Overtake: Perez around the outside of Rosberg Funniest-moment: Mercedes' mechanics trying the tried-and-trusted "push hard on it" technique on MSC's rear wing Most Surprising Result: Perez podium Least Surprising Result: Hamilton winning once Vettel and Alonso tried one-stopping Special Mention to: Don't really have one, oddly. Massa? Race Rating: 7.5/10 Best Commentator overall: Brundle. Croft excelled himself again though - "Alonso might lose the lead of this Spanish Grand Prix"
Best Driver: Hamilton Worst Driver: Button or Senna Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Grosjean Best Team: Lotus or Sauber Worst Team: HRT or Williams Best Overtake: Lewis on Alonso after first stop Funniest-moment: Nothing stands out Most Surprising Result: Perez Least Surprising Result: Schumacher Special Mention to: Grosjean and Perez Race Rating: 9/10 Best Commentator overall:
•Best Driver: Sergio Perez. 15th to 3rd, top job for a 1 trick pony. •Worst Driver: I wonder who that could be... •Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Big John •Best Team: Lotus. Got the call right with Grosjean, McLaren don't get it for 2 pitstop cockups •Worst Team: Ferrari. Made F1's best driver look pathetic due to a poor call. •Best Overtake: Perez on Britney. •Funniest-moment: •Most Surprising Result: Button being so bad •Least Surprising Result: Schumacher not scoring. •Special Mention to: Lewis Hamilton. Didn't get my driver of the day, he did what was expected of him, but finally had some luck •Race Rating: 6/10 •Best Commentator overall: Anyone other than David Croft.
Best Driver: Got to go with Hamilton. From a mix of Quali and the race. others come close but can only choose 1 Worst Driver: Button sadly (relatively) ... Senna comes close but I have/d a higher opinion of Button Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Easy, Grosjean Best Team: ...Lotus? maybe Worst Team: Williams (relatively) Best Overtake: Only saw the extended highlights and none really stood out Funniest-moment: - Most Surprising Result: Strangely Hamilton winning Least Surprising Result: Sauber going long Special Mention to: Grosjean and Perez Race Rating: 8.5/10 Best Commentator overall: -
Best Driver: Hamilton Worst Driver: Senna Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne):Romain Best Team: Lotus Worst Team: HRT Best Overtake: Perez on Rosberg Funniest-moment: Mercedes crew trying to fix Schumi's car Most Surprising Result: 6 different cars in top 6 Least Surprising Result: Schumacher's car failing Special Mention to: Perez, Grosjean, Alonso (despite his team) Race Rating: 8/10 Best Commentator overall:
Best Driver: Hamilton: Despite good performances from others, he was the clear class of the field. Worst Driver: Senna: A sub-standard drive. Karthikeyan is not really a driver in my opinion, and no longer counts. Best Rookie: Grosjean: No contest! Best Team: Sauber: Genuine reason for celebration. Worst Team: HRT: The only double retirement, I believe. Best Overtake: Probably Perez on Rosberg. Funniest-moment: Karma interfering with Schumacher's rear wing; and the frantic attempts at adjustment in the pits! Hilarious! Most Surprising Result: Grosjean 2nd! Least Surprising Result: McLaren's slow pit-stops. Special Mention to: Grosjean. Race Rating: 7.43/10 Best Commentator overall: Ben Edwards.
Best Driver: Hamilton Worst Driver: Senna Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Grosjean Best Team: Sauber Worst Team: Very tough. Force India and Williams will be disappointed with no points, Ferrari could have finished first or second with a better strategy, and HRT seemed to have the edge over Marussia, but had two retirements. But I'll give the wooden spoon to Torro Rosso, because they've cost me dearly on the various F1 games this season. Best Overtake: Perez on Rosberg Funniest-moment: The Mercedes pit crew's technical prowess when trying to fix Schumacher's car. Most Surprising Result: Grosjean second Least Surprising Result: Maldonado nil points Special Mention to: Race Rating: 10/10. I went for 10 instead of 9 having seen some of the low scores, but either way I think it was pretty good. If last year's race is the barometer for 9/10 or 10/10, only one race this season would deserve higher than 6. Best Commentator overall: Ben Edwards, back on form after a couple of relatively poor races.
Best Driver: Hamilton by a mile. Worst Driver: Senna or Button. Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Grosjean. Best Team: Sauber or Lotus. Worst Team: Mercedes fuel saving for Rosberg, crap qualifying strategy, and **** attempts to sort Michael's DRS which should have been working anyway. Best Overtake: Hamilton on Alonso, easy but very relieving. Funniest-moment: Mercedes pit crew. Most Surprising Result: Grosjean second. Least Surprising Result: Schumacher jinxed, or a mole in Mercedes. Special Mention to: Perez shining again. Race Rating: 4/10. Boring but I am happy for Hamilton. Best Commentator overall: None of the Sky team, Brundle: "Maybe he has used all of his luck". There is no such thing as luck you prick, expert analysis there Martin.
Best Driver: Hamilton, Grosjean and Perez (can't chosse between em) Worst Driver: Senna Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Grosjean Best Team: Sauber Worst Team: Marrusia Best Overtake: Schumacher drifting into the hairpin sideways with smoke billowing out of his wheel. Funniest-moment: Merecedes mechanics trying to fix DRS giving up, then trying again - and giving up. Most Surprising Result: 2nd and 3rd place Least Surprising Result: 3 newest teams failing to score Special Mention to: Lee Mckenzies legs Race Rating: 9.9/10 Best Commentator overall: DC as always, love this guy.
Best Driver: Perez. Was a tough call not to choose Hamilton Worst Driver: Button, you can only compare against your team mate, 1st v a lapped 16th. Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Grosjean, no question Best Team: Sauber Worst Team: 2 DNQ's so HRT, but neither RBR or Ferrari covered their nuts in glory with poor strategy decisions Best Overtake: It should've been a crash, and didn't matter, and Manny is gonna wet his pants, but Schumachers lunge on Kobayashi was a great move. Kudos to KK for giving room, could've put them both out. Funniest-moment: Did anyone else here croft say "he's 10,012 canadian Grand Prix winner"? Most Surprising Result: Jenson 'self-destruct' Button Least Surprising Result: karthikeyan in last Special Mention to: Karma, the gift that keeps on giving. Race Rating: 8/10 Best Commentator overall:
Best Driver: Hamilton / Grosjean, two very solid drives Worst Driver:Button, awful coming from a Button fan Best Rookie: Grosjean Best Team: Sauber, Looking good again Worst Team:Mercedes Best Overtake:Perez on Rosberg Funniest-moment:DRS flap broken on Merc Most Surprising Result:Perez on the podium Least Surprising Result:Shumi bad luck Special Mention to:Sauber and Grosjean Race Rating: 8/10 Best Commentator overall: Edwards or Brundle
