What about Rowan Atkinson's reaction to Lewis Hamilton crashing as funniest moment? I've waited years for that moment!
The weirdest of things happened in this Sundays race. That was one of them, actual Mr.Bean moment in a Formula 1 race. Massa was Mr.Bean.
Best Driver: Jaime Alguersuari - more points in the bag! Worst Driver: Felipe Massa - knocking both front wheels off and doing a Schumacher means he has to win this Best Rookie: Sergio Perez - great drive up to 10th Best Team: Mercedes - apart from the team orders, that they'll gain nothing from. Just let Nico and Michael race, then we'll see who's the best Worst Team: Renault - struggled all weekend again. I dont understand how they can be flawless at some races, but terrible at others Best Overtake: Alonso's pit lane overtake on Webber. Well there wasn't any on track thanks to that prick Tilke Funniest-moment: Rowan Atkinson's reaction or the fact that we all thought that this was going to be a good track after quali. The wide entry to turn 4 seems a bit pointless if the exit is so narrow, the attacking driver will only loose out on the exit. And the fact that its incredibly dusty and theres no point in trying. Whats the point in having these new tracks if there not even ready, and so won't produce the spectacle we hope for? Most Surprising Result: Ricciardo lost to his team mate, very shocked by that Least Surprising Result: Mercedes clearly the best of the rest, hopefully they can challenge from podiums next year, would embarrass Massa further should he stay at Ferrari Special Mention to: Heikki Kovalainen - looking very strong now, I expect to see some point from him soon! Race Rating: 6/10 Best BBC commentator/presenter: All Worst BBC commentator/presenter: None Best Commentary moment: Not much to comment on, cause the track was so dull, much like Tilke's imagination Overall BBC coverage rating: 8/10 The track was really awful. From the comments that the drivers made on Saturday, its seems clear that these Tilke tracks are only good to drive on for qualifying, but they are terrible for overtaking, which is what they should be all about. Tilke keeps designing his tracks so that they have fast straights and corners, and slow corners, rather than just keeping one theme to the track, for example, Monza has very long straights into tight chicanes. Another diabolical track from Tilke
I think Karthikayan deserves a mention for beating Ricciardo in India, good drive, especially considering how ****e he normally is
