1 - Best Driver - Räikkönen Great drive from 11th to 2nd. He totally hasn't lost anything.
2 - Best Team - Lotus - Well, first time they didn't mess up neither drivers race in pitstops.
3 - Best Overtake - Räikkönen - Webber
4 - Best Moment Raikko finishing 2nd
5 - Worst Driver - Rosberg. Comon, you can't do that, although he allready is cleared, but still he made it what 4 or 5 times?
6 - Worst Team - Ferrari. Well. Can't say anything. They shouldn't be that bad though...
7 - Best Rookie - Well. Vergne?
8 - Biggest Surprise - Di Resta's 6th place...

9 - General Comment(s) - Well, could have been boring race, but Kimi made it worth to watch...

1 - Best Driver - Sebastian Vettel. Great start off the line, and an excellent job building a gap during that first stint. That really helped him throughout the rest of the race, when he managed to keep a cool head to fend off Kimi's charge.
2 - Best Team - Lotus no doubt. Great effort by both drivers, and I still think that if they pitted Kimi earlier than Vettel in the final round of pitstops, they would have gotten Sebastian on the undercut, or at the least put Kimi right on his diffuser. They did it in the first or second round of pitstops (can't recall) and it got Kimi very close to Sebastian. But I'm guessing they didn't feel liking taking the risk, especially when what happened to Kimi in China was still on the back of their minds.
3 - Best Overtake - Schumacher on someone, can't remember who. It was down in turn 3 and Michael was on the outside coming into the corner, then took him on the undercut. Also Hamilton on Rosberg. Really ballsy from Lewis, something I think we haven't seen from him of since the season began.
4 - Best Moment - Kimi Raikkonen within one second off Sebastian. I really thought Kimi had a good chance of a race win, and the thought of that was fantastic
5 - Worst Driver - Ricciardo; such a promising qualy session yet an equally disappointing race.
6 - Worst Team - McLaren. Botched two of Hamilton's pitstops, and managed to turn a P2/P4 start into a P8/DNF result. And who knows what happened to Button's car...
7 - Best Rookie - RoGro definitely, if you can call him a rookie...
8 - Biggest Surprise - Merecedes'/Rosberg's lack of pace, especially after the hype he created in the practice sessions. Kimi's pace in the race. Really gave up on his potential after what happened in qualifying. If he would have started in a better position, which he's definitely capable of, who knows, he might have won this race.

9 - General Comment(s) - Not the most boring Bahrain race you'll see, thats for sure. Looking forward to Spain to see where Ferrari will end up. Make or break period for the guys in red...
