1 - Best Driver
I don't really have time to do individual driver reviews today, maybe later in the week. I'd say Vettel was best - 10/10, Alonso 9/10, Kobayashi 8/10. Hamilton did the maximum he could, Renault drivers were strong. Credit to Buemi too.

2 - Best Team
Red Bull

3 - Best Overtake
Button on Rosberg. Down the smallest gap on the inside, then right round the otuside of the final corner. Equally, Kobayashi overtaking Schumacher on the grass!

4 - Best Moment
McLaren fighting. That was a great battle. Likewise Massa against Rosberg

5 - Worst Driver
Webber needs to up it a bit because despite a strong performance, Vettel beat him once again. Massa was very poor. As was the worst driver in my opinion, Michael Schumacher

6 - Worst Team
Williams. Barrichello showed early promise but slipped back and collided with Schumacher. Maldonado was woeful, crashed twice before the race, collided with Perez at the start and was way down the field

7 - Best Rookie
None excelled. Maldonado got a penalty, d'Ambrosio made a silly mistake in practice that he really shouldn't do as its dangerous, di Resta retired. Probably Perez if anyone

8 - Biggest Surprise
How effective the DRS was. A bit too effective in my view

9 - General Comment(s)
Better than Australia. Not as good as China. About as enjoyable as Malaysia - 8/10

1 - Best Driver - Vettel, of course
2 - Best Team - RBR, of course
3 - Best Overtake - Hamilton vs. Button
4 - Best Moment - Hamilton finishing 4th in the end
5 - Worst Driver - Schumacher, what a laugh :lol:
6 - Worst Team - Williams, nowhere.
7 - Best Rookie - D'Ambrosio, rookie mistake in practice with the yellow flag, beated Glock in Q, good weekend for him.
8 - Biggest Surprise - Alonso, didn't expect that at all.

9 - General Comment(s) A good race 8/10

1 - Best Driver
Actually Vettel again very strong, but Alonso really squeezed out the last bit of performance, so both are "man of the race"

2 - Best Team
Red Bull - fast car, fast stops and - in the end - right strategy.

3 - Best Overtake
Button vs. Hamilton ;)

4 - Best Moment
Massa clearly being released unsafely against Hamilton and not getting penalised. That shows that you can do everything when you are driving a red car. ;D

5 - Worst Driver
Schumacher and Massa - MSC crashes into Petrov and MAS just miles away from Fernando's pace.

6 - Worst Team
Virgin - even HRT is closing in on them and they cannot make Timo's car ready in time.

7 - Best Rookie
Hard to say, but as DIR, MAL and PER were beaten by the teammates I would say D'Ambrosio.

8 - Biggest Surprise
That noone crashed in turn 8 even with worn out tyres (honestly, i excepted a SC here)

9 - General Comment(s)
It was a good race, but DRS ist too strong, I think. If you're close enough you will pass very easily. Also Pirelli has to pay attetion that there will be not 5-stop-race, especially when they are bringing the super soft tyres to Monaco, Montreal and Valencia. In my opinion even 4 stops are too much, because it's just about the tyres, the driver's performance steps into background. 7/10

1 - Best Driver
I know Vettel did incredibly well, but I feel that Ferrari had no right in terms of ultimate pace to be where Alonso took it, so Alonso. I've given him bad marks for the last two races, so...
2 - Best Team
Red Bull were amazing.
3 - Best Overtake
Button on Rosberg.
4 - Best Moment
The whole first 20 laps.
5 - Worst Driver
Schumacher was annoyingly aggressive, while being completely ineffective, but I'd say Massa. His overtake on Hamilton was good, but the rest of his day wasn't. So him. He hasn't been the same since that crash.
6 - Worst Team
Dunno really.
7 - Best Rookie
Technically Perez, but none of them particularly wowed.
8 - Biggest Surprise
...

9 - General Comment(s)
I thought it was a really good race, and I can see what you mean about the DRS, but I'm just amused by the novelty of seeing cars pass each other a whole heap, and even passing and re-passing, like that nuts battle between the McLaren boys. 9/10

Chinese Grand Prix 9/10
Turkish Grand Prix 9/10 - all it really lacked was a decent battle for the lead.
Malaysian Grand Prix 8/10
Australian Grand Prix 7/10
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

9 - General Comment
Becoming concerned how teams pushing Red Bull early in the race, fade at the end. As well overtaking is generally occuring mainly in the DRS zone. Is it making drivers lazy?

9 - General comments: It seemed on the surface of it that overtaking was made too simple and there were too much pit-stops, which I totally agree, but in the end the first 6 drivers on the grid finished the race in top 6 positions, even positions of whom were merely changed. So, it was action packed, it was hard to follow but in the end strategy, ability and speed was still rewarded. That's the new way of racing and I'm lovin' it.
