    Best driver: it was hard to focus, I'd have to mention Vettel but its hard to judge him relatively when he's driving a Formula zero car against a field of Formula 1 cars and Formula 2 cars in the case of Caterham/Marussia. Grosjean, Di Resta and Hulkenburg were also good.
    Worst driver: Raikkonen and Hamilton (why?!?!)
    best rookie: err not really enough coverage of rookies to judge but not Guttierez for his weaving.
    best team:guess
    worst team: the rest

    best overtake: apart from Alonso's illegal one I can hardly remember any
    funniest moment:none
    most surprisng result: webber on pole
    least surprising result: vettel wins, webber slow start and Kers issues

    race rating 2.5/10
    special mention to Chilton for finishing more races from debut than anyone ever.

    best commentator: me (can I get a job doing it with Sky or BBC cos I'd be damm good)

    Best Team: Red Bull
    Worst Team: Torro Rosso - absolutely nowhere

    You could say the same about the people watching it live on Sky.
