1 - Best Driver - Jenson Button
2 - Best Team - Ferrari
3 - Best Overtake - Lewis on Webber for 4th place.
4 - Best Moment - Jenson's win !
5 - Worst Driver - Webber ,,,
6 - Worst Team - Mclaren
7 - Best Rookie - Perez
8 - Biggest Surprise - Vettel slipping and sliding around. He was expected to perform well in wet conditions.

9 - General Comment(s) - Mclaren have made it a habit to screw up their drivers. If they proceed at this rate i am pretty sure Lewis / Jenson would move to another team. A comfortable 1-2 finish was spoiled for two consecutive races .. thanks to Whitmarsh ...

Best Driver: Jenson Button, drove very well and kept his head cool.

Bet Team: None really excelled but if I had to choose one I think it would be McLaren for producing a car capable of winning either on wet or dry surface this weekend.

Best Overtake: Hamilton on Webber

Best Moment: Button's win on his 200th GP appearance.

Worst Driver: D'Ambrosio for spinning in the pit lane.

Worst Team: Williams....once more

Best Rookie: Di Resta,

Biggest Surprise: Both the Torro Rossos inside the top 10.

General Comments: Martin Whitmarsh was told to produce some results over the next two races after Silverstone or his job would be at stake (though it was officially denied) and they managed to win both of them!!!!!!
In my opinion Vettel's lead is still secure enough. The season reminds me of 2009 when Button won the first 6 out of 7 races, never won again but managed a great damage control. After the summer break we come to two races where the Red Bulls are not the favorites (at least in theory). The good thing for Vettel is that there are more than one title contenders and each one of them is depriving points from the other subsequently doing Vettel a great favour.

1 - Best Driver
Got to be Jenson Button. 200th race and he looked fired up from the start to win it. Great battling with Hamilton and made a crucial pass on Vettel (I think). Credit to Paul di Resta & Sebastien Buemi for beating their team mates and driving faultlessly.

2 - Best Team
Force India has made a big step forwards. They're going to be challenging Sauber for 6th

3 - Best Overtake
Hamilton on Webber, the only pass that didn't take place at T1 or T2 really

4 - Best Moment
First 5 laps were awesome with cars sliding about all over the place with no grip

5 - Worst Driver
Vitaly Petrov was anonymous all race

6 - Worst Team
Renault. An abysmal performance

7 - Best Rookie
Paul di Resta

8 - Biggest Surprise
The starts of both Mercedes drivers, they rocketed up the field!

9 - General Comment(s)

1 - Best Driver
Jenson Button
2 - Best Team
McLaren, with their excellent mechanical grip.
3 - Best Overtake
One of Alonso's at the start, probably the one on Schumacher. They were great in the low grip, although he did negate them aftewards.
4 - Best Moment
McLarens side by side; slippy opening laps; massive brawl for 9th; tyre consternation at the final stops.
5 - Worst Driver
Probably Petrov.
6 - Worst Team
Renault by a mile.
7 - Best Rookie
Di Resta's performance was class.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Can't think of one.

9 - General Comment
I thought this was an absorbing race, but not absolutely brilliant. So 8/10.

2 - Best Team
McLaren
Clearly faster than RedBull now

3 - Best Overtake
Button on Vettel
