Webber & Button for the nice act in the last race!
Vettle for the win.
Kobayashi for a grand 6th in his second race.
Vettel for the win, Kobayashi for a good strong drive, and Button for clawing back to webber near the end and beating Barricello.

Webber? No thanks - he was hammered by his team-mate - again. Still at least he didn't try and push Button off the road............

Kobayashi gets my vote for a superb rookie drive into the points, but credit to Vettel for keeping up with Hamilton

Honorable mention to Kobayashi: 2nd race and he beats Jarno.
Just proves that Trulli is past it and should bother with his vineyard instead of walking around the F1 paddock (with some useless photos).

Vettel, obviously.

Nice drive from Button and Webber too.

Another mention from me for Nick. Did well to leap from 8th to 5th and end the championship ahead of Bobby Kubica on points.

Yet people will still go on about how great Kubica is, while Nick slips under the radar as a 'solid' or 'average' driver for the 10th year running. If it annoys me this much, I can only imagine how frustrated Nick must be at his media perception.

Yep it's annoying, but we can't change people's perceptions, so let it be and be happy with supporting a great driver.

He could've altered people's perceptions by getting the big results last year when the BMW was a contender, but he didn't. Kubica did.

Like when Heidfeld was leading the Canadian GP and the team ordered him to let Kubica through?
Well, that's how Kubica got his great result, in all honesty he's got nothing to brag about.

Obviously a Grand Prix victory is the best way to put yourself on the map, but I wasn't referring to one race. When the BMW was a front-runner, it was the relative new boy Kubica who got himself involved in the title fight and got himself noticed, not Heidfeld. Therefore it is no surprise to me that people regard Kubica as a potential star and Heidfeld as merely solid and reliable.

Vettel, for being solid all the way through and getting the best from his machine. Webber, for defending without being overly dirty in his tactics vs. Button. And Kobayashi, for bringing some unexpected excitement to the race.

I'd give it to Webber.

How he managed to keep the quicker car of Button behind him whilst clearly struggling on fading tyres is beyond me.

It was probably down to the driver. Mark didn't make mistakes and Jenson was unable to pull out a good enough move even though he had an obvious car advantage.

The Red Bull boys did a great job these last few races considering that they were running mostly old engines for quite a few races already.

Id give it to either Webber or Vettel but instead i'll say Kobayashi, a drive today that probably earnt him a contract for 2010.

It was a clean fight, unfortunately only over 2 laps. I'm sure Button could have been more forceful and Webber would have responded accordingly, thankfully I think they both have the maturity not to write each other off with so little at stake.

Vettel pulled a 17-second gap over his fast team-mate, so that was quite a remarkable achievement. Kobayashi did remarkably well especially compared to other rookies, who have been nowhere. Heidfeld was certainly impressive as well and this fine result enabled him to outscore Kubica for the second time in the last three full seasons.

It's good to be missed.
Just prepare for seeing me considerably less around here in the future.

Heidfeld beating again one of the overhyped F1 drivers should raise a few eyebrows.

Koba.

Lets hope he has a better character than the guy he shares his nickname with, had.
