Karun regains the lead on Christine's Rankings - In which Chandhok breaks the tie at the top to take the lead
Published by Christine
This week the driver PR commitments went into overdrive as they prepared for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Mr C and I also tracked some of the drivers as they left for the circuit on Friday morning, and we learnt a couple of things about their morning moods as we went.
Movements for Week 23
- +3 Karun Chandhok: +5 for cooking food for his team but -2 for fishing for points.
- +1 Timo Glock: +1 for remembering the yellow glasses from last year.
- +3 Jenson Button: +3 for yet more awesome videos - pub quizzes and VW campervans.
- +3 Lewis Hamilton: +3 for yet more awesome videos - pub quizzes and VW campervans.
- +5 Rubens Barrichello: +7 for being a great interviewee on Top Gear but -2 for beating the Stig's laptime.
- +2 Jarno Trulli: +2 for signing autographs for the fans and making up for his grumpiness a little bit.
- -1 Vitaly Petrov: -1 for not stopping to autograph anything on Friday morning.
- +1 Sakon Yamamoto: -2 for replacing Bruno Senna but +3 for handling the situation quite well.
- -1 Michael Schumacher: -1 for undertaking a van on the BBC video clip as he drove Jake Humphrey to Silverstone.
