Hello again, time for me to take a close look at what the drivers have been up to over the past seven days, and award points for being good and dock points for being bad - according to my own secret formula. I know a lot of people will want minus points for a certain returning champion's terrible behaviour, but that's not really what the rankings are about. I'll see what I can do though.

Movements for Week 26

  • +2 Timo Glock: +2 for having lucky friends - the ultimate superstition
  • +4 Rubens Barrichello: +4 for ordering a milkshake over the team radio.
  • +2 Nico Rosberg: +2 for having a sense of humour despite a worrying incident.
  • +3 Nico Hülkenberg: +4 for calling out Eddie Jordan but -1 for swearing on the BBC.
  • +3 Tonio Liuzzi: +3 for buying his entire team dinner.
  • +2 Fernando Alonso: +2 for being super smiley on his birthday (even though the cake was a bit fruity).
  • -2 Michael Schumacher: -2 for apologising to Rubens in a man way - sorry you were upset. Ha.

That will do for now. The racing stops for a few weeks now, but Christine's Rankings will continue. I don't know how much there will be for us to keep an eye on, but drivers take note - we will be watching!
