I'm just watching the BBC re-reun on iPlayer and it always strikes me that we used to have a best commentator option. My vote for this category has to be Edwards: this man knows how to pronounce all the foreign names correctly which annoy me when others get it wrong.
His pronunciation of Esteban annoys me. I don't know or care if it's right or wrong, just say it normally.
Best Driver: Sutil Worst Driver: Grosjean Best Rookie (Gutierrez, Bottas, Van Der Garde , Bianchi, Chilton): Best Team: Mercedes Worst Team: Ferrari were back to 2012 slow... Best Overtake: Perez on Button Funniest-moment: N/A Most Surprising Result: Alonso down the field Least Surprising Result: di Resta and Vettel get saved by SC and get all the luck as usual Special Mention to: Perez, Raikkonen deserves a penalty for what he did Race Rating: 2/10
Best Driver: Rosberg. Sutil a very close second. Worst Driver: Grosjean. Best Rookie: Bottas / Van der Garde equally. VDG's qualifying was superb but what Bottas did during the race was impressive. Best Team: Mercedes. Red Bull a very close second. Worst Team: Marussia. Best Overtake: Three equal. Di Resta > Massa / Sutil > Button / Sutil > Alonso. Please note that none involve Perez, who's moves entirely relied upon being seen by the target/victim. I'd felt all along was going to take himself out (and almost certainly someone else). Funniest-moment: Two involve Perez. 1) Button's overtake prevented him pitting. 2) Räikkönen anticipating his next lunge and proving that there was no gap to go into. Most Surprising Result: Red Flag. It was the first in an awful long time. Least Surprising Result: Mercedes Pole. Special Mention to: Force India. Race Rating: 6.11.
