[Mitsuro Sano]

5 - Worst Driver - Grosjean and Kobayashi( for his dangerous move on Nakajima )

Why "dangerous"? Webber has made the same move on Raikkonen

Yes that's true, Webber's move was also dangerous but that's what I think Maybe it's because of the crash of Nakajima... Anyway, nice race by Kobayashi

[blizzard]

1 - Best Driver- Button, Kobayashi, Kimi, Hamilton
2 - Best Team- Toro Rosso
3 - Best Overtake- Kobayashi on Fisichella
4 - Best Moment- The first lap
5 - Worst Driver- Webber for ruining Kimi´s race because of unfair weaving
6 - Worst Team- McLaren for almost frieing Kimi
7 - Best Rookie- Kobayashi
8 - Biggest Surprise- Webber not getting penalized for destroying Kimi´s race, McLaren not getting penalized for an unsafe release of Kovalainen (Massa got a drive through last year!!!) and Kobayashi not getting penalized for sending Nakajima into the wall.
9 - General Comment- Good race, the worst race directors of the season letting anarchy rule and Ferrari were the big losers, Kimi could have won the race. Button is champion, wow Alonso, Kimi, Hamilton would all destroy him without any effort at all.

1 - Best Driver- Button, Kobayashi, Hamilton
2 - Best Team- Toro Rosso
3 - Best Overtake- Kobayashi on Fisichella
4 - Best Moment- Button and Kobayashi fighting with each other
5 - Worst Driver- Fisi, he is about to end his time with Ferrari without giving the team anything. Not to mention the stalls in practice and qualifying.
6 - Worst Team- Renault, they didn't feature much, maybe because alosno retired in the first lap. Also not a good performance from alonso in q3.
7 - Best Rookie- Kobayashi
8 - Biggest Surprise- Robert Kubica second despite of some engine overheating problem.
9 - General Comment- Good race, congratulation to button but one more lucky race for him. Mclaren one point above Ferrari now, I hope Massa comes back in Abu Dhabi.

4 - Best Moment - Kobayashi vs Button
5 - Worst Driver - Fisichella
6 - Worst Team - Renault
7 - Best Rookie - Kobayashi
8 - Biggest Surprise - Kubica's excellent pace considering he had to run with limited revs
9 - General Comment - Good race to not so interesting season ending. But it just shows that in the right tracks you can always overtake, no matter what kind of cars they're using. I think this track is right up with Spa in terms of racing. Was also nice to see Brawn guys helping out Kovalainen in the pitlane. They could have just left him there but instead they decided to help out a driver from rival team. I'm not so happy about the flames on Kimi. Domenicali pointed out that Ferrari has a fail safe system built in place and had wanted it to be compulsory. At least we won't have refueling next year.

As for Button, obviously the one with most points at the end of the year is the champion but people might think about the fact that he didn't have to beat the best in F1 to do it. Looking at the points scored by drivers since Hungary and the improvement from McLaren and Ferrari one could argue that Button would have had very hard time against Hamilton and Raikkonen in the same conditions. And next year as those guys will likely be in the same team he will be facing them again, just this time they'll have much more improved cars.
