1-Best Driver, Trulli
2-Best Team, 1 and 2 entire weekend, Ferrari
3-Best Overtaking, RON DENNIS vs Kovalainen
4-Best Moment, Hamilton light crash with his teammate
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team, Hamilton, Renault (stupid 2 stop strategy for Alonso if he was so empty)
6-Best Rookie, PIQUET!!!, first time finish before his teammate
7-The Most Surprising Moment, Hamilton race, crashing, overtaking on grass, overtaking by radio
8-Comments. Bad race for Alonso and his strategy (team). He loose 2 places on race start, ok, get 1 before first lap and he push hard for a while. But If he was so fuel unleaded, why not 3 stop strategy, It's the track with shorter pit lane!!. And 27 laps with a soft tyre while hard tyre was problematic.

Edited:
Congratullations to Piquet, end the race and before his teammate. And congratullations to Kovalainen, It's the fist time, he get more than I expect from him

comments: good race from trulli, and about hamilton deserved the penalty. he was too fast in that corner and could not manage it. its a bit same as what happened with kimi when he tried to overtake heikki in australia. hamilton couls not have completed the overtaking without going off track.

Why?. Do you remember Heidfield Radio on canada? "If you are loosing time, let him go". If you are not fighting with another, is better let other overtake and let him go, than try to defense position, sure you loose more second.
