Awards Night: Australia


This week's awards are the first in the history of this blog, but we're sure given three to four weeks that they will be more coveted by members of the paddock than championship points.

Enough of this chit chat and on with the ceremony. Awards time!

Drive of the week

Jenson Button - Lights to flag in first place and entirely unflappable across all 58 laps. This voctory marked the 200th race win for British drivers and more importantly announced that Button is a title rival.

A weekend to forget for...

Ferrari - Whilst challenging the mid to low points scorers they never had the pace of the front runners. Raikkonen showed he still has not rediscovered his title winning form and an unusual reliability failure saw an end to Massa's race. Zero points and hope for Malaysia.

A weekend to remember for...

Ross Brawn - All his Ferrari wins have been overshadowed by a debut one-two for the team that races under his own name. Turned around a team that was falling and has put them clear at the top.

The voters choice award.

This award will be chosen by you! This is a special mention award for those who deserve a little extra credit for their weekend's work.

Just look to the right of the screen to vote for your pick of this weeks nominations.

Lewis Hamilton - World champion took his uncompetitive car from 18th on the grid to a podium finish.

Sebastien Buemi - Debutant took his Toro Rosso to 7th place and picked up two world championship points. Was brave enough to have a look at Massa, could be one for the future.

Tim Glock - German put in an impressive performance after starting last and from the pit lane to claim third, two notable overtaking manoeuvres around the outside of turn four, this guy could be a contender.

Place your votes and we will announce the winner after the Malaysian GP.
