Cooking, horses and YouTube affect Christine's Rankings - In which Chandhok remains in the lead despite not driving in the race
Published by Christine
It was a tense weekend, wasn't it? From the very beginning, when we realised our rankings leader Chandhok wouldn't be driving in the HRT, through to the bitter end, with Ferrari's antics forcing them in front of the WMSC. I must say right now, I'm not handing points or taking points off either Massa or Alonso. That is a conversation for a whole other post.
Movements for Week 25
- +2 Karun Chandhok: +2 for appearing on the BBC and generally being lovely in the face of a rotating driver policy.
- +1 Timo Glock: +1 for setting up a YouTube channel and waving a lot in his initial video.
- +1 Jenson Button: +2 for wearing the t-shirt as handed out by Rubens but -1 for being useless with a tent.
- +2 Lucas di Grassi: +2 for laughing at Yamamoto.
- +2 Rubens Barrichello: +2 for handing out t-shirts regarding The Stig.
- +1 Kamui Kobayashi: +1 for cooking for Lee on a BBC segment.
- -2 Sakon Yamamoto: -2 for starting with the limiter on and finishing his race by pressing the wrong button.
- +1 Michael Schumacher: -1 for the horse segment with Lee on the BBC but +2 for not dodging the question about team orders (even if the answer wasn't what we wanted to hear).
- +1 Lewis Hamilton: +2 for being a lot of fun on Top Gear as he drove Senna's old car but -1 for being useless with a tent

That should do it for now. I asked for any suggestions in the comments before compiling the rankings this week and it seemed to work well, so I may do the same next week. Feel free to leave anything you spot in the comments below, though. It won't get missed.
