9 - General Comment(s) - 3/10 the worst race since Bahrain 2010 I think. Let's hope that it will be the only boring race in 2011.

1 - Best Driver
Toss up between Vettel or Alguersuari. Both drivers performed expertly today, and Alguersuari has put the pressure firmly on the shoulders of Buemi

2 - Best Team
Probably Red Bull. 1st and 3rd, not bad

3 - Best Overtake
I don't recall an outstanding one, but for what its worth I'd say Button on Rosberg

4 - Best Moment
Wasn't one really. Probably the continuing battle for 2nd

5 - Worst Driver
Again, no-one was terrible. But it has to go to Schumacher because he was the only driver to make an error all day

6 - Worst Team
Renault had a pretty bad day; Petrov seemed to be slow

7 - Best Rookie
Either Perez or Di Resta

8 - Biggest Surprise
No retirements

9 - General Comment(s)
A fairly interesting race but not a classic

2/10. Terrible, useless race on a boring track.

I sure hope races with 24 finishers don't become the norm. F1 seems to have gotten too conservative, with excessive emphasis on reliability.

1- Best Driver: Alonso, he did his best.
2- Red Bull: The changes regarding the engine mapping didn't affect them at all.
3- Best Overtake: From a very short list I would choose Button's on Roseberg.
4- Best Moment: None
5- Worst Driver: Maldonado
6- Worst Team: Williams
7- Best Rookie: Perez
8- Biggest Surprise: The fact that everyone finished the race, it's the third time in Grand Prix history

9- General Comments: Very, very boring race the track is turning to be the one we all love to hate.
After two hard-fought wins Vettel switched to "cruising mode" again. If he wins in Britain he is the 2011 World Champion unless someone hires snipers to shoot at the German's tyres for the remaining races!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far the changes in regulations that happen during this year are more intriguing than the championship itself.
Ferrari is on the rise, McLaren is in crisis after the good performances they had in Spain, Monaco and Canada.

It seems that quite a few (7 so far) of you guys are going as high as 6/10. May I ask what kind of race would earn a 1 or a 2 in your books? The 2005 American GP? A race red flagged on lap 4 and not restarted?

1 - Best Driver - Vettel, why should he not, did nothing wrong all race, controlled the pace.

2 - Best Team - Red Bull

3 - Best Overtake - Heidfeld on Perez

4 - Best Moment - Let me think...The end so we don't have to come back for another year.

5 - Worst Driver - Karthikeyan, wasn't he almost a lap down on his team mate, who was
second last himself.

6 - Worst Team - HRT

7 - Best Rookie - Perez

8 - Biggest Surprise - No retirements at all.

9 - General Comment(s) - A typical race around Valencia, we shouldn't have expected too much. 5/10
