Race day awards
Here are today's race day awards:
How would I rate myself - 4/10. Got the winner wrong, predicted Alonso would make a good start (but not THAT good), got Alonso in 2nd, switched Button and Montoya, Schumacher in the top 8. Rosberg and Webber retired. I screwed up pretty good - I should go work for Honda!
Oh, and one more thing - Scott Speed, you are officially on notice. I know you are a rookie, but you stuffed Button pretty badly. Don't make me instigate the "Olivier Grouillard mobile chicane award"!
| Driver of the day | Giancarlo Fisichella | Massa comes a close second though |
| Rookie of the day | Nico Rosberg | Not much to choose from, but Rosberg still wins it |
| Car of the day | Renault R25 | Faultless performance |
| Team of the day | Renault | Superior tactics and pit work |
| Disappointing driver of the day | Jenson Button | Was just not quick enough |
| Disappointing car of the day | Williams FW28 | Double engine failures = nil points |
| Disappointing team of the day | Honda | Victims of their own poor tactics |
| Phillipe Alliot award | Christian Klein | 1st lap incident with Raikkonen |
| Jerk of the day | Scott Speed | Severely balked Button on his in lap |
