    Webber's start. Seriously mate, I thought you'd gotten past that.

    I would say Webber's start but he always loses places at the start. McLaren is the correct answer.

    I know Mclaren will win so I'd like to nominate the local director. Graphics were frequently incorrect (personal favourite: the start of the race having a countdown from 1:59:59 rather than the lap counter) and kept cutting away from the interesting fights at the end. We were reliant on Croft and Brundle to remind us that Sutil was under pressure from his team-mate and Grosjean was still involved in a battle with Perez because he was more interested in watching Raikkonen trundle round on his parade lap!

    Oh and a shout out to the flag marshal's waving blues in front of Sutil. Massively disrespectful.

    Actually I think the first time was for a Caterham and a Marussia in front of him. Not sure if there was anyone in front of him the second time.

    Yes, this. But it was funny to watch him trying to contain his fury about it afterwards and trying to blame everyone else.

    Di Resta for claiming he was robbed at the end. I guess he forgot the fact that for most of the race his teammate was fighting for a podium and he was nowhere.

    Apparently not entirely his fault. Some kind of software fault meant he couldn't do a bite point check on the formation lap. He was without KERS for at least 20 laps too, although I'm not sure which 20. In the context it was being explained though, the first 20 seems likely.

    Agree with the director comments, there was lots going on at the end when we were mainly watching Alonso and Raikkonen. I find it so frustrating when we hear about overtakes from the commentary team, but never get a replay. I don't care if it's Chilton finally getting passed Van der Garde, it sounded like quite a battle, and infinitely preferable to watching Alonso drive quickly on his own. I guess the sponsors need their air time though.

    I couldn't believe Di Resta moaning at the end, Sutil had far more reason to, so I think he wins it for me.

    McLaren for managing to go so far backwards in a short space of time.

    Or shall we just say di Resta for XXX reason for each race for the rest of the season and be done with it. Agenda's?

    McLaren...what has been going through their heads recently?

    I can't complain about the coverage because, as it turns out, NBC is doing a great job so far! Granted it helps a lot that they brought the Speed guys over, but its been really well done so far!

    Di Resta...what a joke. Pisses and moans constantly, despite the fact that he just wasn't good enough yet again. Get over it man. Can you tell I'm not a fan? <laugh>

    Yeah... I think I have to agree with McLaren... I think the award should be called "Head up your Arse Award" though.

    Special mention to Super Maldonado.

    McLaren:

    Knowing they were too slow in Quali but still sending Button out and wrecking his tires rather than either using the mediums or just setting sector times on the SS and not putting the inters on Perez's car. Considering how bad they are they could have beat the FI's.
