Kobayashi cooks up a storm on Christine's Rankings
In which Kamui goes up and Karun goes down
Published by Christine Blachford

With lots of action in Turkey, several drivers still made time to do exceptional things that caught my attention - be it fashion mistakes or funny tweets. This is also a notable week as it must be the first time Chandhok has lost a point.
Movements for Week 17
- -1 Karun Chandhok: -1 for having a lucky egg.
- +2 Jaime Alguersuari: +1 to restore the point I took off last week and +1 for the demo in DR.
- +2 Lucas di Grassi: +2 for having a fridge full of Coke Zero.
- +1 Timo Glock: -1 for a video where he looks like Bono and +2 for a crazy football wig.
- +2 Kamui Kobayashi: +2 for taking over the Sauber motorhome kitchen and cooking up a storm.
- -1 Lewis Hamilton: +2 for bringing Heikki back an iPad from the US but -3 for having both his ears pierced.
- -3 Sebastian Vettel: -3 for calling his new car Randy Mandy - ugh.
