    Best Driver: Grosjean
    Worst Driver: Bottas. Plenty to pick from, but his body language after the race said he knew he'd messed up.
    Best Rookie: Wehrlein
    Best Team: Haas. Despite one car finishing, they're doing amazingly.
    Worst Team: Ferrari. They have to get two cars running fast! (Plenty to choose from again).
    Best Overtake: Grosjean on the outside of one of the Williams. Can't recall which.

    Most Surprising Result: Wehrlein quali and race. Impressive stuff.
    Least Surprising Result: Merc pole/win
    Funniest moment: Bernie and his stupid ideas. That or Rosberg fumbling around in lapped car battles.
    Excuse of the week: Bernie.... he's a proper excuse.

    Special Mention: Manor. Proving why we need teams like them. Haas for being ace.
    Best post from the race thread: (will fill out later)
    Race Rating: 7/10 Not bad... not a classic either.

    Best Driver: Grosjean. Relishing in his new team.
    Worst Driver: Bottas.
    Best Rookie: Vandoorne. Pointy on his debut, out Q'd Button. Very accomplished start in a crappy car. Werhlein worthy of mention too.
    Best Team: Haas. Even with Ferrari support, they're still a new outfit and doing amazing.
    Worst Team: Williams. They have gone backwards since 2014 and seem to be getting worse. Race pace was bad today.
    Best Overtake: Ericsson around the outside on the S-bend against Massa (I think?)

    Most Surprising Result: Vettel's car failing and not Kimi's!
    Least Surprising Result: Merc pole/win
    Funniest moment: F1 is no laughing matter anymore. It's becoming a bit sad now.
    Excuse of the week: Jenson complaining that he could have done better but for blah and blah and blah. Time to move on Mr B, you're number has been called.

    Special Mention: Max. Much better race, keep your head son and you will do fine.

    Great spot with that overtake JC. I don't think there'll be a better overtake than that this season. Liked how Perez left room for the guy on the inside at 0:32, unlike someone else a couple of turns before.

    I really hope Stoffel's racing again China, great to see him in an F1 car.
