Speed Performance Awards

My 2007 picks (go here to view and vote):

1. Danica Patrick for the Oops Award - The Diva's a perennial favorite in the end of year round ups...for all the wrong reasons.

2. Racer Rookie of the year - Lewis, without even a second thought.

3. Biggest Hit - Tough call, but I'll have to go with Kubica, who had the G-readings to prove it.

4. Helio for Temper Temper - A muttering wreck. Can you tell this guy was having relationship issues?

5. Biggest upset - Kimi triumphs over Mclaren.

6. Heart Brake - Go to admit, as bad as it would have been to see NASCAR freeze that field, by the letter of the law, Martin got hosed.

7. Best Rivalry - Formula 1 is the pinnacle of both engineering achievement and internecine vitriol. The Mclaren boys take this one.

8. Best Finish - ALMS GT. Rare enough to see an endurance race come down to the wire like that, but when it's a Porsche and Ferrari scraping fenders in the dark, with fireworks going off in the infield and one of the guys has a name like Jorg Bergmeister...

9. T-Stew for "Tell It Like It Is" - Nobody does it better. What was I saying about F1 drivers slagging their teammates?
