    Best Driver: Rosberg, topped every session and kept his head under pressure.
    Worst Driver: Perez, a very tough one to call though, nobody was "bad". A few were totally anonymous mostly due to penalties, Vergne, Sutil etc come to mind, Bottas too just went backwards. Perez was nowhere all weekend, not helped by Juncadella binning his car on Friday either.
    Best Rookie (Magnussen, Kvyat, Ericsson): Neither had a great weekend, Magnussen just but he was fairly average.
    Best Team: Mercedes (yawn)
    Worst Team: Lotus by a hair from Sauber, purely because Grosjean blew up... well his engine did, probably RoGro did too though.

    Best Overtake: none really spring to mind as great.
    Funniest-moment: Massa in the wrong pit box
    Most Surprising Result: Gutierrez in Qualifying
    Least Surprising Result: Mercedes 1-2, Grosjean in a cloud of smoke.
    Special Mention to: Kimi, thought he drove a cracking race and had a solid weekend, result didn't quite do the drive justice, mainly due to a front jack failure at the pit stop.

    Race Rating: 4/10

    Best Commentator/Presenter Anybody who doesn't have both the names "David" and "Croft".

    Has to be Rosberg. Stood up well after his string of defeats.

    Mercedes
    Worst Team:
    Sauber

    Can barely remember any for some reason. Alonso vs Kimi then.

    Kimi finding a bit of form.
