Brits give Brit car award even though it was beat

The British McLaren team's MP4-23 has been voted Racing Car of the Year at this year's British Autosport Awards. The team won the drivers' title this year with Lewis Hamilton and, although they were beaten to the constructor's crown by Ferrari, the car was voted best of the season – following the MP4-22's victory in the same award last year. So in essence the Brits, who run the show, gave the award to a car that was inferior.
