Christine's Rankings judges phone usage, newspaper quotes and pedal cars
In which tough athletic races and phone interruptions are pointsworthy
Published by Christine Blachford
Sitting in between the Italian Grand Prix and the next race in Singapore, this week has certainly not been a quiet one. The drivers have been out and about trying their hands at other sports, they've been sitting at home making videos, and they've been surrounded by builders. Wait and see which one is which!
Movements for Week 33
- +3 Timo Glock: +2 for hitting the waves. Also +3 for an amusing bit in his preview video when his phone rings but -2 for saying 'for sure' less then 15 seconds in
- +2 Jenson Button: +2 for taking part in Ironman in Japan.
- +2 Lewis Hamilton: +2 for being nice about Chandhok.
- +5 Mark Webber: +5 for an excellent photo of his breakfast routine being disrupted.
- +2 Jaime Alguersuari: +4 for caring about a wild pig that was run over but -2 for over-sharing pictures of the animal
- +5 Fernando Alonso: +5 for doing... well I don't really know what but it involved a pedal car.
- +1 Sébastien Buemi: -2 for not quite understanding how the iPhone works but +3 for being quite cute not knowing how the iPhone works!

That should do it for now. We've had a positive couple of weeks, and things are getting tight at the top now - just like in the real life championship. Even so, keep your eyes peeled over the next week as the paddock descends on Singapore, and let me know what you spot. See you next week!
