    Best Driver: Has to be Webber. Hamilton was obviously up there as well, thought Seb, Nico and Felipe drove excellent races as well.
    Worst Driver: Alonso or JB.
    Best Rookie: D'Ambrosio beating Glock for the first time (I think)
    Best Team: Mercedes. Rosberg looked on for the win at one point, totally didn't expect their pace
    Worst Team: Red Bull. Wasted their pace, should've been an easy one-two but a strategic error on Saturday cost Webber, and one on Sunday cost Seb.
    Best Overtake: Lewis on Jenson. I enjoyed Seb's on Lewis more though, I thought he couldn't overtake? I counted four today.
    Funniest-moment: Button into the Red Bull pit. Funniest of the season so far for me
    Most Surprising Result: Webber's recovery, especially after his awful first stint and all the new teams finishing
    Least Surprising Result: Di Resta beating Sutil. Standard. ;)
    Special Mention to: Kovalainen beating a Sauber and a Williams on merit. <applause>
    Race Rating: 10/10 - Managed to top last week's simply because the winner/leaders was/were involved in all the action

    Best BBC commentator/presenter: MB - Great spot with Jaime's tyre
    Worst BBC commentator/presenter: EJ - Where were you?
    Best Commentary moment: Made me chuckle when Brundle described Webber as "one of the most determined mans in Formula 1".

    Best Driver: Hamilton (by a whisker from Webber) Winning is what matters and the way Hamilton did it was as faultless as it was inspired.
    Worst Driver: Barrichello/Maldonado/Perez
    Best Rookie: di Resta but D'Ambrosio is worth a mention
    Best Team: Air Asia Lotus
    Worst Team: Williams
    Best Overtake: Hamilton on Button
    Funniest-moment: No contest, this has to be Button's pit stop for some Red Bull energised tyres.
    Most Surprising Result: Vettel's poor start. Is that a 'result'? - If not, probably Webber getting on the podium.
    Least Surprising Result: Vettel on the podium.
    Special Mention to: My mate.
    Race Rating: As an entertaining spectacle, this was difficult to fault: 10/10.

    Best BBC commentator/presenter: Martin Brundle
    Worst BBC commentator/presenter: No longer applicable. Legard was the only 'thing', and thankfully is very much of the past.
    Best Commentary moment: Well done to Jake Humphrey for showing perseverance in the face of ignorance: Schumacher showing his true colours. Well done to DC for not bothering with such arrogance.
    Overall BBC coverage rating: 9.8 /10

    Just being his usual self, whist being questioned on the grid.

    His engineer called it professionalism, I call it ignorance. No other driver being questioned under pressure behaved in such a manner, even Webber answered politely, he was under more pressure than anybody.

    Aren't you the person that bashed him on BBC606 in 2010, for every little thing he did, everyone has different personalities and cope different ways under pressure.
    The fact is he can be as arrogant as he wants-he is the most successful living driver in F1 history.
    And the fact he started in p14 and pulled off fantastic overtakes in the Mercedes to gain a respectable result. Mate I thought you had stopped bashing him but I thought wrong.

    Also I've got to say, Webber acting polite under pressure?

    Last year he slammed his cup of water on the desk in the press conference because he didn't get a ****ty little upgrade that Vettel got.
    Sore looser?

    Actually he did have the update (if your talking about silverstone) but Vettel broke his and they took the one off Marks car. That is something that is worth being pissed off about

    I have to say I was impressed with how upbeat and approachable Webber was on the grid yesterday. I didn't see them talk to Schumacher, but last week Brundle thought about talking to him but he was deep in discussion with one his engineers. If Schumi had things to sort out I can understand him being a bit short with TV presenters asking him questions. I can't really say without seeing it though, but after the race he's more than happy to answer questions, perhaps before the race he just has more important issues to deal with, which is understandable.

    Sorry 'bout my error on the update topic, but I agree that discussing tactics with presenters a few minutes before the race is a bit out of the question especially if you have a big job on your hands.

    Manny, Yes I am the same, who used to criticise Schumacher on 606 for which I make no appology and for the very same reason's I do the same today. You have your opinion I have mine, his record means nothing to me, the entire Schumacher myth was a contrived and maufactured scam, in my humble opinion.
