    Best Driver: Alonso's was about the most interesting performance but in a cloying, oppressive race he didn't quite sparkle enough, so - Vettel. He didn't do much but then he didn't have to.
    Worst Driver: Maldonado. Couldn't even beat Schumacher.
    Best Rookie: di Resta.
    Best Team: Red Bull.
    Worst Team: Hispania.
    Best Overtake: Button on Rosberg - courageous and he cut it really close. If he'd clipped the Mercedes he'd be donut of the day.
    Funniest-moment: "I can't drive any slower." - Why, exactly? And, if you don't, you do realise you're going to waste your tyres, don't you?
    Most Surprising Result: Maldonado down in 18th place. Who'd've thunk it?
    Least Surprising Result: Schumacher down in 17th place.
    Special Mention to: Alguersuari. Good drive.
    Race Rating: 0.1/10

    Best BBC commentator/presenter: Brundle.
    Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Jordan.
    Best Commentary moment: Can't remember one.
    Overall BBC coverage rating: 8/10 - quite high but they did the best with what they had to work with.

    Most Surprising Result: Alguersuari

    Special Mention to: HRT for managing to turn uselessness into incompetence.
    Race Rating: 2/10

    Best Commentary moment: N/A

    Best Overtake: Heidfeld on Sutil was good with no DRS.

    Least Surprising Result: Karthikeyan at the back/Vettel at the front
    Special Mention to: Hamilton for reaching the chequered flag
