Renault drivers become midfield players in Christine's Rankings - In which demonstrations have points aplenty for McLaren and Renault
Published by Christine
With Silverstone out the way, it appeared to be a quiet week for drivers as they got a bit of downtime before the German Grand Prix. Not so much for Renault and McLaren, as they were demonstrating their cars at various points across the globe, much to the fans delight. Also a lot of people seemed to be watching the Tour de France. Hmm. Anyway, on to the points.
Movements for Week 24
- +1 Timo Glock: +1 for having a good old look at a MotoGP bike - as long as he doesn't decided to ride one.
- +1 Heikki Kovalainen: +1 for studying the stars with his girlfriend - very cute.
- +2 Jenson Button: +2 for some epic donuts whilst at the F1 demo in Russia.
- +3 Mark Webber: +3 for having his picture taken with Pamela.
- +3 Vitaly Petrov: +3 for doing the sociable thing for Renault in Russia.
- +3 Robert Kubica: +3 for doing some good work on the Renault Roadshow in Poland.
- -4 Sébastien Buemi: -4 for confusing everyone with his contract talks.
- -2 Sakon Yamamoto: -2 for replacing Chandhok - trying to be consistent and he got that for replacing Senna too.

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.
