Went for a 5 as the actual racing was too short, cut short by the terrible incident that befell Jules Bianchi and also the continued indecisiveness from the race controllers in wet starts. The Safety Car was out for way too long at the beginning of the race and wasn't out early enough at it's eventual end.
Best Driver - Easily Jenson Button. He just had one of those days in these conditions where if he had a Mercedes or Red Bull he'd have romped home to the win by 20 seconds plus. Unluckily for him the McLaren just isn't as good as those two cars yet Jenson showed his class at a crucial time by being the only driver who could live with the pure pace of Merc and RBR. 3rd was possible but for the steering wheel change, and the timing of the last SC really robbed us of Jenson catching back up on the extreme wets which were the right choice if the race was to conclude at it's proper last lap.
Worst Driver - Magnussen had a mare. Forgiving his technical troubles that essentially killed his chance of any bigger points, he was scruffy, made too many mistakes, had inconsistent pace and to top it off nearly took off his teammate trying to act all clever in attempting to unlap himself. He had no reason to try and overtake his teammate at that point of the circuit when the whole reason he was on the extreme wets anyway was to be a guinea pig for Jenson!
Best Team - Red Bull are streets ahead of the competition when it comes to the pitwall. Kudos to McLaren for getting a ballsy strategy right though.
Best Overtake - Ricciardo's pair on the Williams'... I actually laughed out loud when I saw him pull those off. Balls of steel and finesse all at the same time, regardless of the grip advantage the RBR's had.
Best Moment - Will be when we hear some good news on Jules.
DRS + Tyres - Worked well really. No problems with the performance of Pirelli's wet compounds as I think they do a good job with them, and DRS being allowed at any point was surprising given the conditions but it opened up new opportunities in the race so can't complain really.
And the race in a sentence... Lewis edges closer and Jenson stars, but we are all thinking of Jules and wish him a safe and full recovery.
