There's been plenty of talk of race winners and star designers (Newey) but who else do you feel deserves a mention?

Geetface9?

[scotty]

Rob Smedley.

[What's Burning?]

I was going to vote for the US GP organizers, but they are far from "unsung" they had quite a bit of praise and they delivered a mighty tasty GP, (sold out I might add).

Monisha takes this one by far.

Sid Watkins. Hasnt done that much this year. But deserves an award for past merits

Nobody ever talks about Bernd Maylander, so in my book, by definition, he's the true unsung hero here. Does a fine job at almost every race (meaning he does a fine job whenever he's coming out in the safety car, which is almost every race ), but nobody acknowledges his performance really.

Not strictly true. I'm pretty sure a number of us here see him as the true winner of the 2009 Australian Grand Prix ...

And he pretty much won this time out at Interlagos!

None of these people made much of an impression on me this year. Sid obviously did a lot of great things in his life, but just died this year. Don't feel that warrants him a hero status for 2012. Maybe if this was a "lifetime unsung hero" thread...

Vitaly Petrov...saved the team at the brink of the season which fired his bottom.

I voted for whoever banned Grosjean after Spa. Twas an inspired move.

I voted for Paul Hembery because he always answers my silly questions about tyres on Twitter.

However I think all the non Williams team members that jumped in to help in the garage fire should get a mention.

Damn - thats a good one - and if I hadn't already voted, Id have backed you up.
