I thought it was going to be a very quiet week on the rankings but it turns out that those drivers have been up to their usual tricks. We've got some fabulous (and amusing) fashion choices, some questionable body part treatment, one energetic couple and one very good looking couple. We've even got people - well, just one person really - gearing up for the Japanese Grand Prix already. What more could you ask for?

Movements for Week 35

  • -2 Mark Webber: Mark Webber submits his feet to some kind of scary beauty routine. I am both disgusted and impressed, so -5 for it being gross, but +3 because (as Bridget added), at least he's secure enough in his manliness to tweet it.
  • +3 Kamui Kobayashi: For revealing in an interview that he has a dog called Alfred, and he wanted to be a comedian when he was younger. +3.
  • +5 Timo Glock: +5 for looking rather snazzy in his suit.
  • +4 Karun Chandhok: +2 for some excellent slippers. +2 for being happy for another driver, despite not necessarily having a drive himself.
  • +2 Sébastien Buemi: +2 for arriving in Japan really early. Like today. It's not the Sidepodway, but I approve of his being keen.
  • +5 Nico Rosberg: +5 for crowdsourcing the results of sporting events - here and here.
  • +1 Heikki Kovalainen: +3 for calling up fans as a competition prize. -2 for sort of recommending Meet the Fockers.
  • +2 Jenson Button: +2 for getting his girlfriend interested in his hobbies.
