Best Driver: Jenson Button - great overtaking, if the team hadn't have let him down in quali, he could have won Worst Driver: Felipe Massa - couldn't overtake Rosberg, and din't get back to speed after that Best Rookie: Daniel Ricciardo - Up to sixteenth at one point, and only dropped one or two places before he retired Best Team: Mercedes GP - Worst Team: Sauber - their cars didnt seem stable enough throughout the race, despite Kobayashi's end plate Best Overtake: All of Jenson and Lewis' overtakes that weren't in the DRS zone Funniest-moment: Maldonado thinking he should give advice to more experienced drivers Most Surprising Result: Micheal Schumacher's 5th place from 24th Least Surprising Result: Niki Lauda trying to get himself on TV whenever theres a crash that Hamiltons involved in Special Mention to:Toro Rosso - great qualifying by them, until crashes spoiled their weekend Also Mclaren and Lewis. I have noticed that their start of race pace is slow, but they gradually get quicker. Lewis was running quite well until he was hit, and I don't see how he's the worst driver of 24 for something he didn't do Race Rating:9 /10 Best BBC commentator/presenter: All, as usual Worst BBC commentator/presenter:None, as usual Best Commentary moment: DC's Jaws impression Overall BBC coverage rating: 9/10

Best Driver: All of the top five were excellent, but I'm giving it to Vettel, answered a few questions as well with a great overtake on Rosberg round the outside of Blanchimont and dispatching Webber and Alonso after the safety car. Worst Driver: Glock for stacking it at the first corner, Senna gets a let off as it's his first race. Best Rookie: Senna - Great first weekend, excellent quali, and a solid drive barring the mistake at the start Best Team: Red Bull - 1-2 at one of their weakest tracks. Worst Team: NA Best Overtake: Webber on Alonso, couldn't believe he had the temerity to go for it, got my heart racing just watching it. Top stuff. JB pulled off some nice moves as well Funniest-moment: I'll come back to this, think I'm forgetting something. Most Surprising Result: Hamilton not being called to the Steward's office. Least Surprising Result: Nothing really, was a bit all over the place Special Mention to: Toro Rosso looked set for a good haul of points before there drivers were wiped out Race Rating: 10/10 - Action start to finish, three quarters of the way in it looked like any one of four could win it.
Well I see it as he was returning to the racing line and wasn't expecting Kobayashi to be there. Hamilton did turn in for the corner just as Kobayshi hit him though Also, I forgot about Webber's Eau Rouge overtake on Alonso, definetly has to be the best, and one of the best all season
Best Driver: Vettel, untouchable all weekend, blisters and cars in front didn't stop him winning this GP. Worst Driver: Lewis, took himself out, nobody else to blame but himself. Best Rookie: Ricciardo, good race by him Best Team: Red Bull, any doubt? Worst Team: Ferrari, could of made better calls for Alonso to get him the win.

DC on being confronted by Schumacher in '98: It was lucky two big McLaren mechanics came over to stop him, because I was about to unleash my ninja. I don't think Ferrari had the outright pace to challenge. When they both pitted for primes Vettel was able to edge away from Alonso. Ferrari had the third fastest car this weekend.
Well...the safety car period they should of pitted him, he might of been only 2nd but at least he knew Seb would be having future blister problems.
Yeah good point, would have spent a lot less time on the primes or saved a pitstop (depending what compound he went for).
