Best Driver: Button closely followed by Sutil Worst Driver: Maldonado Best Rookie: di Resta Best Team: Red Bull Worst Team: Virgin Racing Best Overtake: Button on Alonso was a masterpiece of planning.

Best Driver: Sutil, a great race for what could have been his last throw of the dice. Worst Driver: Maldonado Best Rookie: di Resta Best Team: Force India Worst Team: Virgin Racing Best Overtake: Both Button and Alonso completed excellent passes on each other. Button's was good because of the planning and tactics involved and Alonso's was good because it was around the outside and wasn't in the DRS zone! Funniest-moment: When Ted Kravitz's voice broke when reporting about Vettel's gearbox. Most Surprising Result: Petrov finishing in the points. Least Surprising Result: Vettel putting in competitive lap times with a near broken gearbox. Special Mention to: Barrichello. Race Rating: 6/10
Best driver: Sutil - fine drive on a good day for the team. Worst driver: Maldonando - please God, if you exist then you will not allow any possibility of Rubens getting the boot and this guy keeping his seat. Best rookie: di Resta: Sums up his season. Just incredibly mature and solid yet again. He reminds me of Mark Webber a lot, maybe a bit better than the Aussie?! This guy can win races and possibly have a shot at a title if given the right car. Best team: Red Bull - perfect end to the season. Faultless all year. Make your move McLaren and Ferrari - we're waiting! Worst team: Virgin - got it all wrong this weekend. They've got a lot of work to do over the winter. McLaren should also be mentioned. Should have been a lot faster this weekend but weren't. Best overtake: Alonso on Button. Lovely move by Alonso. Button got his own back later on but it was fine driving by two drivers who have driven beautifully this year. Funniest moment: DC to Martin Brundle 'was that the time you radioed back 'I'm unconscious'. Brundle to DC 'No that was another English driver' Most surprising result: Schumacher losing a place at the start! Least surprising result: Vettel, Button and Alonso all faultless again. Race rating: 6/10. Desperately needed the rain we were promised but didn't get. Two disappointing races to end what has been, despite one man dominating, a fantastic season with some memorable racing. Special mention to: Rubens Barrichello. I desperately hope this isn't his final race. If so then Rubinho it has been an absolute pleasure. Like many of us here you've always been there since we started watching f1. Like a few in the field I have grown up watching you. You have been....perfect for F1.

For this reason, I'd like to say a special 'Thankyou' to Sportydan for running this thread throughout the year. Cheers Sport!
Best Driver: Gonna go with my favorite, Kobayashi, all weekend the Sauber was a dog, just about making it into Q2, and he finishes 9th. Worst Driver: Glock, ok, he only did one thing wrong, but.... Best Rookie: Di Resta Best Team: RBR Worst Team: Virgin or HRT, tak eyour pick Best Overtake: Alonso's I guess Funniest-moment: I don't know about funny, but the stewards decisions (all season) have been almost comical, this race was no exception. Most Surprising Result: Webber being in a position for Vettel to give him a win. Least Surprising Result: Vettel's very sick RBR making the full distance to give first to Webber, but not enough to give Button 2nd. Special Mention to: Massa & Hamilton for racing close to each other without contact. (although if Race Rating: 6/10 shame about the weather.
