1 - Best Driver: Vettel, flawless drive from him

2 - Best Team: Red Bull, they managed to be the fastest on almost every track

3 - Best Overtake: Some of Hamilton's overtakes

4 - Best Moment: None in particular

5 - Worst Driver: Petrov, his car wasn't competitive but finishing behind Kovalainen???????

6 - Worst Team: Renault

7 - Best Rookie: Although Di Resta finished 6th, I give my vote to the hard-fighting Perez.

8 - Biggest Surprise: Renault's and Torro Rosso's performance.

9 - General Comment(s): Boring race as usual, fortunately we had Hamilton's usual performance (good and bad all-in-one) in street circuits and when he's in the back to break the monotony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Webbo certainly makes it seems so.

1 - Best Driver
Vettel and Button; got the most out of their cars and didn't put a foot wrong

2 - Best Team
Overall best, Red Bull, but Force India did really well today.

3 - Best Overtake
Webber on Hamilton

4 - Best Moment
It did look cool seeing Vettel win with those fireworks on the background

5 - Worst Driver
Petrov; what was he doing this weekend?

6 - Worst Team
Renault; nowhere near where they usually are

7 - Best Rookie
di Resta did really well, but I feel Perez outdid himself most.

8 - Biggest Surprise
I was gonna say Hamilton not finishing on the podium, but the reason he didn't, sadly can't really be called a surprise.

9 - General Comment(s)
Following the race with livetiming next to me, it was a very exciting to see if Vettel could get his first Grand Slam.

Sour grapes everywhere.

1 - Best Driver
di Resta - for being the only guy other than top teams who was not lapped; consistent and boy fast.

2 - Best Team
Force India - RBR did make two mistakes in Webber's pit-stop timings so I choose FI.

3 - Best Overtake
Webber on Alonso before Turn 10 - what a move, credit to both drivers (that must suck for Alonso cause he was now overtaken 4 times in the last 3 races by RBR cars, all of them bold and spectacular moves)

4 - Best Moment
Button's late surge - a little optimistic but still.

5 - Worst Driver
Rosberg - overtaken by a FI and not fully optimizing the package. A mediocre drive today.

6 - Worst Team
Renault - I mean, what happened to you guys?

7 - Best Rookie
di Resta and Perez - di Resta for obvious reasons and Perez also deserves accolades.

8 - Biggest Surprise
Ferrari's lack of pace - I thought they could push RBR and McLaren mistakes but they were nowhere near them.

9 - General Comment(s)
Well, the worst race of 2011 season but way better than some of the races in 2010. If it was not for Hamilton, we'd have bored than we are now. OK race.

Come on Zack, that is too harsh. He was consistently way faster than Rosberg and about to pass him although he had to pit after Rosberg on both two occasions making him to lose chunk of time. I don't think he's THE worst driver of the day. Made a mistake, but not that magnitude. Perez was able to take points. Michael paid his mistake for his own.

On the other hand, Hamilton's mistake ruined Massa's race. Kobayashi's mistake ruined Button's surge. Williams duo f***ud up the late race battle. Those are way worse than what Schumacher did. Michael drove a good, a very good race. His fastest lap of race is 1.2 second faster than his team-mate tho he was out of the race. How can he be THE worst driver, mate?
