Best BBC commentator/presenter: MB
Worst BBC commentator/presenter: her
Best Commentary moment:
Overall BBC coverage rating: 7/10

 

•Best Driver: Jaime Alguersuari. Mature drive, showing Red Bull that they have to fire Webber soon.
•Worst Driver: Mark Webber. Waste of a Red Bull seat.
•Best Rookie: Checo Perez. 20th to 10th in a bad car. Nice job.
•Best Team: Red Bull.
•Worst Team: Williams. The sooner Adam Parr is fired the better
•Best Overtake:Ummmmmm.......
•Funniest-moment: Massa v Hamilton round 299.
•Most Surprising Result: Massa being penalised
•Least Surprising Result: Webber screwing up again.
•Special Mention to: Narain Karthikeyan. Maybe Liuzzi should lose his drive?
•Race Rating: 3/10 Typical Tilke race. Not bothering to get up early for Tilke cicuits anymore.


•Best BBC commentator/presenter: EJ for once. Spoke a lot of sense today.
•Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Ted for once. Too much time spent at McLaren, there are 11 other teams.
•Best Commentary moment: Talking about tying that Khan fellow to the front of a FI during practice (Radio 5live)
•Overall BBC coverage rating: 9/10 Actually watched all the build up for once.

 

Best Driver: Vettel, it pains me to say.
Worst Driver: It was a close run thing, but I think Massa just about took it away from the worst driver in Williams history.
Best Rookie: Perez.
Best Team: Torro Rosso. For Red Bull to be eligible for this award Webber has to perform. Not buying the Mercedes love this weekend: they're the 4th best team, and came 5th and 6th after a collision ruined the races of two cars in front of them.
Worst Team: Williams.
Best Overtake: Let me flip this around: I think di Resta did very well to fend Perez off in what I suspect was a damaged car.
Funniest-moment: Rowan Atkinson's reaction to the obligatory Massa Hamilton crash.
Most Surprising Result: The stewards getting absolutely every decision right.
Least Surprising Result: Pasta Bacon Double Cheeseburger Maldonado unwittingly harming faster cars' races, before going on to achieve **** all himself.
Special Mention to: Kovalainen for keeping genuine pace with the midfield in the first stint.
Race Rating: 7/10. Arguably a bit generous, but the event was well run and I'm sure the racing will match in future. Contrary to the opinions of a couple of ignorant morons above, I think Tilke has for once produced a cracking track.

Best BBC commentator/presenter: Eddie Jordan. Pains me to say it but he was bang on the money all weekend.
Worst BBC commentator/presenter: This is very harsh, because it's actually the BBC's fault, but Martin Brundle. He's going to Sky, not because of the money or even with the fact that half of the BBC's races won't be live. He'll go because the BBC force him to labour the same points every weekend, about qualifying, the tyre rules etc. Now that I'm realising how much the BBC lean on the commentator I'm actually starting to feel ever so slightly sorry for Legard. Stating the blindingly obvious for new viewers should be left exclusively to Jake, because he is the least knowledgeable presenter, and also because he is actually quite good at explaining things simply having worked in children's TV for several years.
Best Commentary moment: I think they all did a decent job, but nothing stands out.
Overall BBC coverage rating: 10/10. The BBC maximised every edge it had here, such as Jake's previous work in India and a good relationship with people such as Chandhock and Rowan Atkinson. Even Eddie Jordan was spot on.

 

• Best Driver: Vettel for controlling the race so easily & Button for never giving up or making a single error in the race.
  
• Worst Driver: There were two. Considering the whole weekend and twice breaking his suspension on kerbs all other drivers avoided; and for turning in on Hamilton's legitimate attack through a barn-door held open: Massa. D'Ambrosio was also very poor, so he gets a nomination too.
  
• Best Rookie: Perez.
  
• Best Team: Toro Rosso.
  
• Worst Team: A big choice, but too easy to criticize on a brand new circuit.
  
• Best Overtake: Button's classic move on Webber very early, which paved the way for 2nd place. This was a perfect example of how to overtake in F1, regardless of aids or gimmicks.
  
• Funniest-moment: Rowan Atkinson watching Hamass collision.
  
• Most Surprising Result: Karthikeyan; who put on the best performance of his life.
  
• Least Surprising Result: Vettel win & Hamass collision.
  
• Special Mention to: Wheldon & Simoncelli…
  
• Race Rating: 7/10
  
  
• Best BBC commentator/presenter: Brundle
  
• Worst BBC commentator/presenter: McKenzie for wasting licence fee money in the face of 50% cutbacks. With a small increase in workload, Ted Kravitz could fulfill that part of the Beeb's coverage.
  
• Best Commentary moment: Christian Horner's remark about Eddie Jordan's legs sticking out at the bottom of his dress.
  
• Overall BBC coverage rating: 8/10

 

•Best Driver: Button
•Worst Driver: Pains me to say this, but it has to be Massa. Not so much for his collision with Hamilton, but hitting the kerb to break his suspension...AGAIN
•Best Rookie: Has to be Perez, without a doubt.
•Best Team: RBR
•Worst Team: Williams
•Best Overtake: Tricky...
•Funniest-moment: Rowan Atkinson's reaction; the Massa/Hamilton feud continues
•Most Surprising Result: Hamilton - despite his grid penalty and incident with Massa, he was off the pace right from the start - we all know he's much better than this.
•Least Surprising Result: What's that bloke's name again.....oh yeah, Vettel
•Special Mention to: Button's blistering start; Alonso for, yet again, bringing his dog of a car home to a podium finish; Toro Rosso
•Race Rating: 5 /10


•Best BBC commentator/presenter: MB/DC

Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Brundle and Cultard, seriously the Massa drive though you could almost hear the pleading in their voices for it to be the other way round
Best Commentary moment: Describing Mr Bean
Overall BBC coverage rating: 8/10

 

Perez? 17th to 10th and in front of both Renaults and a Force India who have faster cars.

 

In my defence, it was early in the morning and apart from the the initial rush at the start, a boring race. Plus with the back markers you never can tell if its bad drving, bad pit stopping, or something else that has allowed someone to pass, as they don't tend to get as much coverage.

 

Fair enough.

 

Exactly, no one who considers themselves a racer would've ignored that.
