6. Best rookie: Piquet
Why so many of you think that Piquet did a good job? When Alonso got dry tires, he can drive preaty well... Piquet - he crash car... :blink:

Piquet was the first out on the dry tires, and Alonso is more experienced with that tricky situation, which it was at that moment. But Piquet will learn about this.

:) We see same race, but my opinion about Piquet is different. I agree, that he will learn about this, but this is not reason to give him "best rookie" title. Notice how excellent drivers was today Sutil & Vettel (in worse cars)!

Have to agree with you I mean he wasn't driving good when it was wet and than he got dry tyres and spin (which wasn't his fault renault made a to big risk)

But Nakajima took some points so doesn't it make him the best rookie?

The only rookies that i can think of this year are Bourdais, and Piquet... Nakajima drove before as did Glock i think...

1-Best Driver - Adrian Sutil, he deserve the 4th place but unfortunately that incident happened
2-Best Team - Force India, they 1 stop strategy should put Sutil in 4th place
3-Best overtaking - Rosberg on Piquet Jr, clever move by him
4-Best Moment - Vettel got his first points of the season, a bit of luck but he deserve it
5-Worst driver & worst team - I would say Raikkonen and Ferrari, infact Ferrari's mistake of not fitting the tires 3mnts before race start costed Kimi the race.
6-Best Rookie - Vettel keeping his cool in his first Monaco GP & scoring points.
7-The most surprising moment - Kimi hit the back of Sutil.

1-Best Driver: Adrian Sutil and Sebastian Vettel
2-Best Team: Force India
3-Best overtaking: Alonso and Rosberg. They were the only two guys to even attempt some overtaking. Admitted, Fernie lost it on Heidfeld, but i didnt see nobody else making overtaking attempts.
4-best Moment: Nico's crash, simple reason lewis lost his lead and i was hoping that massa or kubica would overtake him.
5-worst driver & worst team: Id say renault worst team because Piquet was doing really well, and they go put drys on him. Infact alonso said no to dry tyres and they put them on him aswell. Mclaren also for using number 2/23 as the guinea pig so golden boy wont screw up. Oh that famous equality shines through McLaren.
6-Best Rookie: Piquet. Good race and held under alot of pressure
7-The most surprising moment: Lewis winning. Congratulations for winning, but to be fair, i dont think it was that good a win. Dont misunderstand me, I highly dislike lewis, but with massa and kubica having a go at each other which apparently, going defensive gives a second to the car infront, means lewis wasnt actually that sennaesque (dont get me started with ITV. I MUTE the sound to get rid of those pricks), but he had a clear track and no pressure, much to the similarity of Massa when he was leading, he flew ahead. So if lewis is sennaesque, Massa must be more sennaesque because he did the same AND hes brazillian!

Overall it was a good race. I think alonso, piquet, Kubica, Nico and massa and sutil made it very interesting. Like alonso said, he had nothing to lose so why not go for it!

1-Best Driver - Sutil without a doubt, he drove a superb race to be fourth
2-Best Team - Force India did their part too in getting Sutil up
3-Best overtaking - None in this race
4-best Moment - Barrichello getting points (he did not get any in 2007)
5-worst driver & worst team - Raikkonen (drive-through, going off on his own at Ste Devote and worst of all, hitting Sutil) and Ferrari (wrong strategy on both cars, costing Massa second).
6-Best Rookie - Nakajima, more points for him today
7-The most surprising moment - Raikkonen sliding before hitting the back of Sutil. :(
