1 - Best Driver - Lewis Hamilton, from P10 to P2 at one time and eventually P4. Brilliant drive.
2 - Best Team - Red Bull
3 - Best Overtake - Hamilton on Alonso, on the wet. Natural born overtaker.
4 - Best Moment - Hamilton in P2
5 - Worst Driver - ?

8 - Biggest Surprise - Really didn't expect Hamilton to finish P4 after saturday.
9 - General Comment(s) - Alonso only won because of the new regulations, which were made 1 hour before the 3rd practice. FIArrari at it's best!

Hamilton, brilliant overtaking and defending, his car was certainly inferior to RBR and Ferrari in the dry but fought brilliantly against Vettel and Massa. Like him or loathe him, he made the race interesting.

Button on Massa, very well executed.
4 - Best Moment
Vettel's second pit stop.... ;)

Great race, the presence of McLaren battling at the front made it a thiller. Battles right from the first lap to the last. 9/10!

Re: Rate the British Grand Prix 2011
1 - Best Driver
Alonso was really good.
2 - Best Team
Probably Ferrari, given McLaren, Force India and Red Bull's pit woes.
3 - Best Overtake
Hamilton on Alonso was brave.
4 - Best Moment
The last 5 laps, or the stint involving Hamilton and Alonso's battles.
5 - Worst Driver
Schumacher?
6 - Worst Team
Renault, but that's kind of understandable.
7 - Best Rookie
Perez, undoubtedly.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Lack of Renault pace and a comparative profusion of Red Bull/McLaren pit mistakes.
9 - General Comment
9/10, a definite thriller. I couldn't even be bothered to rate last week's race, which is the first I haven't done so for in two or so years, but that was just because that race was so boring and this season is so good. Back to excitement here.
Also, I really like the new track layout.
Monaco Grand Prix 9/10
Chinese Grand Prix 9/10
British Grand Prix 9/10 - Almost twice as worthwhile as watching Valencia.
Turkish Grand Prix 9/10
Canadian Grand Prix 8/10
Malaysian Grand Prix 8/10
Spanish Grand Prix 7/10
Australian Grand Prix 7/10
European Grand Prix 5/10

Re: Rate the British Grand Prix 2011
Best Driver-Lewis Hamilton. He gave us many thrilling times with his overtaking maneuvres and he could have been on the podium if his team wasn't "clumsy" which would have been a great result considering that his car is slowest at this time from the Red Bulls and Ferraris.
Best Team- None really excelled today,Ferrari perhaps just for doing what they were supposed to do without any faults.
Best Overtake - One of many Hamilton did, pick anyone you like.
Best Moment - Hamilton's first two laps
Worst Driver - Kobayashi unfortunately, because he is a favorite of mine.
Worst Team - Red Bull for giving team orders to Webber, this would be unthinkable last year but it seems that the guys in Milton Keynes have "matured"
Best Rookie - Perez, great performance today.
Biggest Surprise - McLaren's performance as opposed to yesterday's one.
General Comments - A very interesting race due to the fact that it has rained before the beggining. Races like this give Ecclestone the right to dream about "artificial rain" races.

Re: Rate the British Grand Prix 2011
1 - Best Driver - Alonso

3 - Best Overtake - not sure, there is a lot of, so it's funny
4 - Best Moment - first laps with track wet and dry
5 - Worst Driver -
6 - Worst Team - RBR, two errors in two pit stop and gift fist place to Alonso
7 - Best Rookie - Perez
8 - Biggest Surprise - At the end of the race, there is sun in UK!!!
9 - General Comment(s)
Unlucky Button, he deserve more luck than he used to get. His home race, and with this stupid end. Alonso was lucky by RBR errors on both pit stops. There are not overtakes or fight on track for first position, only by second one

Re: Rate the British Grand Prix 2011
1 - Best Driver - Hamilton, he didnt win the race but man he is so exciting to watch.
2 - Best Team - Ferarri for for supplying alonso with arguably the best car, wow i expected RBR to run away with it and make it a boring race.
3 - Best Overtake - Hamilton on alonso.
4 - Best Moment - I enjoyed many moments cant single any out.
5 - Worst Driver - Schumi for ruining his own race.
6 - Worst Team - Mclaren pit team made the biggest possible mistake that they could with button.
7 - Best Rookie - ???
8 - Biggest Surprise - Ferarr/Alonso's pace and also the race pace of mclaren, i didnt expect that.
9 - General Comment(s) Very unhapyy with RBR, fair play to webber for not parking it on the finish line, and what a load of c**p from christian horner about maximising points, why not let the faster driver lead instead of telling the faster driver to slow down for no reason other than to protect vettels lead in the championship and keep webber behind, just admit you are only backing vettel and webber is the fall guy, I enjoyed my time at silverstone had a great weekend but i paid to watch THE BEST DRIVERS RACE, not play follow the leader it left a bitter tast in my mouth and i could of gone to valencia to watch cars follow each other, I dont see how webber can trust his team now.
Anyway other than that it was great lets hope the ferarri can stop the RBR dominance now and hopefully mclaren will bring some new upgrades to germany.

It's not a nice thing to say, but when Red Bull messed up Vettel's pitstop I was delighted. Webber trying to overtake Vettel in the last laps. The Massa vs. Hamilton fight at the end.
5 - Worst Driver
I wouldn't say worst, but Schumacher destroying his front wing yet again because of misjudging his breaking yet again. His race pace seems to be getting really good, but he has to turn off those mistakes.

Great drive from Alonso, although it remains to be seen how big an effect the regulation changes and the disuse of the hard tyre had on the performance of the Ferrari.

4 - Best Moment - RBR messing up the pit-stop. I lol'd at it. / Hamilton and Massa to the finish
5 - Worst Driver - Nobody really, but Schumi destroyed his race with the accident with Koboyashi. Yes, he received points. Yet, he should be higher up the order if the contact had not occurred.
6 - Worst Team - Nobody
7 - Best Rookie - Perez, great finish for the young Mexican
8 - Biggest Surprise - Team orders in play for RBR considering the hypocrite *cough* I mean Horner says his drivers are equal. No such thing as number 1 or 2 driver... What a crock of c**p.
9 - General Comment(s)
Great race! Good to see Ferrari on top for once, well anyone else other than RBR. Pit-stops are very important and the chief mechanic needs to make sure the proper tires are out for either driver. Lollipop men need training. Lets see, good race for the likes to Perez, Heidfield, and Alguersauri. STR is going to decide who stays or leaves... Alguersauri looked extremely aggressive and he was faster than Shumi or Heidfield... Di Resta had bad luck and Sutil needs more consistency if wants another seat... Congrats to Riccardo for finishing his first race and yeah... On to Germany...
