Good week for:
Concrete bollards
These largely overlooked and unheralded pieces of roadside furniture were given a welcome boost by Renault boss Flavio Briatore, who compared them with the F1 world championship leader
Sebastian Vettel
Peerless in the dry in qualifying, masterful in the wet on Sunday, the 21 year old is now soaking up the hype once reserved for Lewis Hamilton. Bernie Ecclestone is building him up as 'better than Lewis'.
Sebastien Buemi
As the most junior of F1's three Sebastiens, the Swiss risks being lost in the crowd, but he's winning plaudits for his driving this year. Lucky to get away with whacking the race leader under a safety car, though.
Mike Gascoyne
