Race day awards
Race day awards for Melbourne:
How do I rate myself - 7/10. I got the winner right, Fisichella in 4th, Raikkonenin the top 3, and I did say that there would be lots of off track excursions... i would have given myself an 8 were it not for the fact that Ralf finished on the podium, thus making a fool out of me. In my defence, I did say that lots of people would have to retire (and they did). Oh, and to quote Steve Matchett: "It's easy to make up places under the safety car".
| Driver of the day | Fernando Alonso | Just outclassed everyone |
| Rookie of the day | Scott Speed | Sense the irony, please |
| Car of the day | Renault R25 | Despite Fisichella's problems |
| Team of the day | Renault | Why not? |
| Disappointing driver of the day | Jenson Button | Utterly lacklustre despite his pole |
| Dissapointing car of the day | Honda RA106 | Do I really need to explain this one? |
| Disappointing team of the day | McLaren | Failed to capitalise on the safety car periods |
| Phillipe Alliot award | Felipe Massa | Trashed 2 Ferraris over the weekend |
| Olivier Grouillard award | Yuje Ide | Balking Barrichello in qualifying |
| Jerk of the day | Scott Speed | Bust up with Coulthard, although Alan Permane was a jerk as well |
