    • Best Driver: Toss up between Vettel, Massa and Hulkenberg, on this occasion, I’ll give it to Massa, been critical of his driving display for a while but for the last 4/5 races, the boys returning to form!
    • Worst Driver: Kobayashi, from hero to zero, Button made a valid point, with such a long DRS zone, why take stupid risks so early when all you have to do is bide you time and get a move done when DRS is enabled and the cars are more spaced out after the first few laps!
    • Best Rookie(Grosjean,Pic,Ricciardo,Vergne): Both Torro Rosso drivers! And a special mention to Grosjean for staying the course!
    • Best Team: RedBull, can’t really see any other team winning another race for the rest of the season, special mention to their sister team and the Ferrari’s did well to.
    • Worst Team: McLaren, with the advantage they had at the start of the season and then from Germany to Singapore, they really should be miles ahead in both championships! Who’s to blame, Whitmarsh?
    • Best Overtake: Hulkenberg on Hamilton and Grosjean, next best was Hamilton retaking Kimi.
    • Funniest-moment: Hamilton driving around with astro turf trailing off his car, the boy’s got no luck, in Germany, he was the only front runner to pick up a puncture from the debris after the first corner incident, and loads of guys ran over the astro turf yet he was the only one that got it caught up in his side pod, special mention to Jenson confirming that he didn’t “just” call Kamui and “idiot!”
    • Most Surprising Result: Massa being quicker than Alonso
    • Least Surprising Result: Massa being told to back off!
    • Special Mention to: Psy’s blazer (he of Gangnam fame), that part of Korea still stuck in the early 80s?
    • Race Rating: First lap, 9/10, rest of the race 3/10, snore fest!
    • Best Commentator/Presenter overall: Coulthard and Edwards, didn’t watch the Sky coverage but I’m 99.9% certain Crofty would have been pants!

    Thought I would come round to the idea of recognising something worthy from this race but apart from Massa's efforts the rest is ridiculous. So I'll give out the awards I think are only eligible after the weekend's horror show!

    Best driver - Massa. Very easy this one.

    Race rating - 1/10. Worst race of a season that in all honesty has declined in quality since the summer in terms of entertainment and lack of supreme GP winning drives other than Button's Spa excellence. Dare I say it, despite the dominance of Vettel last season, I enjoyed a vast majority of races.

    Best commentators - DC and Ben Edwards. You know you're in good company when they can somehow keep talking over that borefest. I've seen previous races with Legard, Allen, Croft and Brundle and there has been plenty of silent moments during these type of races. Edwards and Coulthard did very well!
