[Kyle?]

•Best Driver: Webber. Got in front, and put in 30+ qualifying laps.
•Worst Driver: Maldonado. Please let Rubens keep his seat, and boot this clown out.
•Best Rookie: PDR. Another points finish
•Best Team: Red Bull. 1-2 finish, despite mechanical difficulties
•Worst Team: Toro Rosso. A few races ago, it appeared they had 7th place in the bag.

•Funniest-moment: ?
•Most Surprising Result: Kamui in the points again, from another poor quali session.
•Least Surprising Result: Vettel on the podium

[WestCoastBoogaloo]

• Best Driver: Sutil, a great race for what could have been his last throw of the dice.
• Worst Driver: Maldonado
• Best Rookie: di Resta
• Best Team: Force India
• Worst Team: Virgin Racing
• Best Overtake: Both Button and Alonso completed excellent passes on each other. Button's was good because of the planning and tactics involved and Alonso's was good because it was around the outside and wasn't in the DRS zone!

• Most Surprising Result: Petrov finishing in the points.
• Least Surprising Result: Vettel putting in competitive lap times with a near broken gearbox.
• Special Mention to: Barrichello.

[McFerrari]

Best driver: Sutil - fine drive on a good day for the team.

Worst driver: Maldonando - please God, if you exist then you will not allow any possibility of Rubens getting the boot and this guy keeping his seat.

Best rookie: di Resta: Sums up his season. Just incredibly mature and solid yet again. He reminds me of Mark Webber a lot, maybe a bit better than the Aussie?! This guy can win races and possibly have a shot at a title if given the right car.

Best team: Red Bull - perfect end to the season. Faultless all year. Make your move McLaren and Ferrari - we're waiting!

Worst team: Virgin - got it all wrong this weekend. They've got a lot of work to do over the winter. McLaren should also be mentioned. Should have been a lot faster this weekend but weren't.

Best overtake: Alonso on Button. Lovely move by Alonso. Button got his own back later on but it was fine driving by two drivers who have driven beautifully this year.

Funniest moment: DC to Martin Brundle 'was that the time you radioed back 'I'm unconscious'. Brundle to DC 'No that was another English driver'

Most surprising result: Schumacher losing a place at the start!

Least surprising result: Vettel, Button and Alonso all faultless again.

Race rating: 6/10. Desperately needed the rain we were promised but didn't get. Two disappointing races to end what has been, despite one man dominating, a fantastic season with some memorable racing.

Special mention to: Rubens Barrichello. I desperately hope this isn't his final race. If so then Rubinho it has been an absolute pleasure. Like many of us here you've always been there since we started watching f1. Like a few in the field I have grown up watching you. You have been....perfect for F1.

Although a simple concept, this series of threads has provided a very useful ground for expressing opinion with minimum risk of WUMmery. It has also taken a certain amount of dedication.

For this reason, I'd like to say a special 'Thankyou' to Sportydan for running this thread throughout the year.

Cheers Sport!

Is it just me, or is the less said about Barrichello's Brazillian, the better?

 

[Big Ern]

• Most Surprising Result: Webber being in a position for Vettel to give him a win.
• Least Surprising Result: Vettel's very sick RBR making the full distance to give first to Webber, but not enough to give Button 2nd.
