Re: Rate the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix
1 - Best Driver Got to be Button really. He stuck with it and for once (it doesn't often happen to anyone who had such a hectic race) he was duly rewarded. Can anyone else remember who the last driver to win after 6 pitstops and (EDIT:) three collisions was? Me neither.
2 - Best Team
Mercedes. The wet nullified it, but their car was clearly a lot better than last time.
3 - Best Overtake
The race-winning one wasn't really an overtake, so I'm going for Button on Webber for third, because of the way he had to swerve into the wet under acceleration.
4 - Best Moment
The last 25 laps.
5 - Worst Driver
Lots of candidates for this today. Di Resta, Hamilton, Sutil, Glock who was hell to lap? You could argue Alonso for not conceding to Jenson and ending his own race. I don't think I can decide.
6 - Worst Team
Ferrari's decision-making wasn't wonderful.
7 - Best Rookie
I guess Maldonado until he retired. Although I can't remember how he retired, which could potentially change that judgement. Anyone?
(EDIT:) Since he spun off, I guess I can't really call Maldonado best rookie, so I guess no-one.
8 - Biggest Surprise
That they didn't go out again about 30 minutes earlier in the long red-flag period.
9 - General Comment
An astounding race that loses a mark for the delay, so 8/10. The race apart from the last lap was good, but not the best wet race I've ever seen. With the crazy last stint it became really good, a 9/10, but we had to wait hours for it so...
Monaco Grand Prix 9/10
Chinese Grand Prix 9/10
Turkish Grand Prix 9/10
Canadian Grand Prix 8/10
Malaysian Grand Prix 8/10
Spanish Grand Prix 7/10
Australian Grand Prix 7/10

Bernd Maylander, the only one who can drive full throttle with rain. Thanks FIA for this bored race. Race must start without SC, ok, to stop with very heavy rain, but 2-3 laps with SC after re-start, no more.
2 - Best Team
Not, RBR, not McLaren, Not Ferrari, Not Mercedes......., ok HRT, both cars get checked flag
3 - Best Overtake
4 - Best Moment
Every time SC go home
5 - Worst Driver
FIA
6 - Worst Team
Ferrari, stupid decision to change tyres with his "top position" driver. Take risk with second one.
7 - Best Rookie
DLR
8 - Biggest Surprise
FIA stupid decission
9 - General Comment(s)
Button, 6 stops (5 + 1 drive throught), a lot of crash (HAM, DLR, ALO), get finish race, and even win!!!

2 crash???, he crash Hamilton, De la Rosa (after SC, DLR loose his front wing) and Alonso, and get a drive throught for speed limits with SCTwistedArmco wrote:1 - Best Driver Got to be Button really.

Re: Rate the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix
Nah, for once Hamilton was pretty much at fault, Alonso closed the door too much and paid the price. Didn't see the De La Rosa one, but Pedro, you are on McLaren's payroll!

Pedro de la Rosa (12th)
“First of all I want to thank the FIA. It stopped the race when it became too dangerous and I think every safety car call was right. Before the red flag it became impossible to drive. You could not see anything and I was aquaplaning in every gear. However, I came from 17th and resumed the race in ninth behind the safety car. But just before the restart Jenson (Button) and I touched and I had to pit because of a damaged front wing. This ruined my race, I lost many positions, and I even lost a few more later when I got stuck in first gear. On top of that I lost time due to some backmarkers. I tried to recover from this as well as possible, but points were then out of reach. I must say it could have been a lot better today, but also the team made very good pit calls, so thanks for this. It was an extremely eventful race, especially for somebody who had just stepped into a car at short notice. I will not forget these days here, this is for sure.”
