Its Monday morning and now that the dust has settled after another weekend of GP action its time of course, to turn our thoughts to who was our Champ and who was our Chump of the weekend. For the Champ thread there are one or two notable candidates all though I have a feeling that there is one who stands clear of the rest it will be interesting to see how the voting goes.
Firstly, Seb Vettel finally managed to convert a poll to a win and pretty much all weekend and through out the race he didn't put a foot wrong. Pretty much as straight forward a win as you would want to see and this drive could mark his return to the fray as a championship contender.
The next driver that will surely be up for consideration must be Rubens Barrichello. It would seem that the Williams team have finally managed to improve their car and didn't it just show this weekend. Full credit to both their drivers for making the most of the opportunity but what odds would you have got on a fourth place for Rubens at the start of the weekend? A great drive and perhaps the start of a serious turn around for the team especially going into Silverstone which has always been a great track for Rubens.
And last but by no means least, Kobayashi. Surely the favourite for the driver of the weekend title? If only for his overtakes of Alonso in the last few laps of the race and then Buemi on the last corner of the last lap. His (it would seem) genuine pace in the middle of the race on the prime tyre that allowed him to stay ahead of Button was pretty amazing. That car really had no right to be where it was for so many laps and the fact that it was is down to a fantastic drive.
Of course there may have been other incidents that caught your eye so who is your driver of the weekend?
