For the interests of Tallying up the best/ Worst driver in this forums opinion over the season i have tallied up this thread ( i got bored and was intersted by the results for the canada awards)

Aus Winners are:
Best Driver: Sergio Perez
Worst Driver Narain Karthikeyan
Best Rookie Sergio Perez
Best Team Red Bull
Worst Team HRT

Race Rating average 6.125
 
why were HRT worst team? surely not being able to build a legal car and having both drivers DSQ for it is worse?

Worst team: Sauber.
 
Ha! This is an interesting idea Julius.

Presumably you are going to do it for every Grand Prix? - Perhaps it will eventually give a statistically definitive 'best Grand Prix of the season'!

<ok>

[Edit:
Hahaha&#8230; it seems you might be opening a can of worms if you need to take account of opinions which are voiced some time later! ;) Well done Miggins for showing the potential difficulty! ;)]

As Sportydan usually posts an empty template first he could actually update that with the average, then later posts could just modify the OP. I'd like to see total scores, too, e.g.

Best Driver: Perez (5), Petrov (2), Hamilton (1)

Would be easier than me doing it.
