Drive of the day to Jenson Button? Fair enough, tis a close one between him and Schuey, but drive of the day must go to the guy that started 24th, made up 19 places, and beat his teammate that started 5th on the grid, not the guy that made up ten places. Plus I'd bet money that Schuey made more overtakes than Button did.

Well I certainly wouldn't agree with them that Button was the best, but remember that it's the BBC and I imagine the viewers are generally going to want to see a British driver voted best of the day where possible. I think the fact that we saw more of Button's overtakes than Schuey's would also play a part. I'm sure by the end of the first lap Michael had made something silly like nearly 10 overtakes. I'm sure German TV said that Vettel or Schumacher were the top drivers.
