    Best Driver: Has to be Button, I didn't think I'd be saying that after he pinned his team mate to the wall
    Worst Driver: Nobody stood out as being particularly bad
    Best Rookie: Petrov
    Best Team: McLaren. Their setup gave them supreme pace at the end, probably would've been a one-two if they hadn't collided.
    Worst Team: Virgin. Lost ground to HRT, and D'Ambrosio missed the cut off
    Best Overtake: Webber on Heidfeld. Considering the lack of traction and straightline speed he had, he did very well to make that stick
    Funniest-moment: Coulthard saying he learnt German watching DVDs when he was young, and then Vettel asking if he could borrow them.
    Most Surprising Result: Button, last to first
    Least Surprising Result: Hamilton being at the centre of controversy.
    Special Mention to: Pedro de la Rosa. Arguably driver of the day, a very respectable finish in incredibly difficult circumstances
    Race Rating: 10/10 Ignoring the painfully boring red flag period, it was an absolute classic

    Best Driver: Sir Jenson of Button, as in Monaco. Scintillating, thoughtful, excellence.
    Worst Driver: The Dark Side of Hamilton, as in Monaco. Silly, rattled, amateurish.
    Best Rookie: Michael Schumacher - haven't noticed him before but that kid's going places.
    Best Team: McLaren - they certainly did the most work.
    Worst Team: HRT. Why are they still there?
    Best Overtake: Button on Webber, Schumacher, but mainly the rattled Vettel.
    Funniest-moment: "He's not as good as his brother, though" - DHC
    Most Surprising Result: Schumacher - pity he couldn't hold Webber off.
    Least Surprising Result: Button's victory - it was never in doubt.
    Special Mention to: Massa - drove a good race and had a great finish.
    Race Rating: 9/10 - best of the season so far. Yes, it was enhanced by the weather but F1 does weather.

    Best BBC commentator/presenter: Brundle/Coulthard
    Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Brundle/Coulthard during the red flag period.
    Best Commentary moment: I'm struggling to think of one...
    Overall BBC coverage rating: 2/10 - no F1 Forum: slack.[/QUOTE]

    Yeah. I wouldn't want to lobby for the removal of another BBC presenter/commentator - thank god Legard's gone and that's enough - but Humphrey doesn't appear to be remotely interested or enthusiastic and certainly isn't interesting anymore.

    Cheers mate, I was just looking for that, it doesn't stop getting funny. I'm in stitches here. They should teach them to run properly in Canada, although this could be the same bloke. Similar build.

    Button best driver, to be in the pits so many times as he was and survive all those incidents, takes supreme courage and concentration, he may not be the best driver but he has big balls and I hope he keeps the race.

    I'd like to think that's what he was doing, I just think he didn't know which way the marshal would run! I'd love it if he was playing chicken though.

    Worst 'commentator' (if she is one) would be Lee Mc for trying to rile Hamilton, obviously I'm not a Hamilton fan but she tried to wind him up by quoting Buttons radio comment which I thought was a bit below the belt.
