1 - Best Driver
Pastor Maldonado. I was always expecting him to start struggling with his tyres because of his agressive style but he did an amazing job apparently he even opened a little gap enough to Alonso in the last part. Mention also to Alonso, Kamui, Hamilton and Vettel.

2 - Best Team
Williams for the victory. Lotus for the speed of their cars fastest team at the moment, but I wouldn´t say they were the best today because they screwed up a little with the strategy costing a probably victory for Kimi.

3 - Best Overtake
Lewis on the Toro Rosso´s and Kobayashi ones of course.

4 - Best Moment
Probably the last part of the race with Alonso pressing Pastor, and Kimi gaining a lot of time, fight between Vettel and McLaren´s etc.

5 - Worst Driver
Massa, of course.

6 - Worst Team
McLaren or Red Bull.

7 - Best Rookie
Jean Eric Vergne.

8 - Biggest Surprise
Maldonado getting the victory, and don´t screwing his tyres under pressure.

1 - Best Driver- Maldanado easily. Then Alonso, Then Kimi.
2 - Best Team- Williams for Winning, but also Lotus for 3rd and 4th.
3 - Best Overtake- Id go for vettels overtakes to be honest. I criticised him for being the crash kid and im happily proved wrong.
4 - Best Moment- Maldanado crossing the line, and then Alonso and Kimi giving him a lift up. Both true and sporting WDC's.
5 - Worst Driver- I dont know. But id stick my Neck out and say NOT Massa.
6 - Worst Team-Mclaren. For gods sake.
7 - Best Rookie
8 - Biggest Surprise- Lotus failing Kimi AGAIN.

9 - General Comment(s)
I think Massa has been REALLY unlucky this race. Ferrari let him do his lap far too soon and so he ended up 17th. He and Vettel got stupid penalties. But in the race, he was 1.1 seconds off Alonso's fastest lap. Torn between heart and Head. I think Monaco and Canada, if he doesn't prove himself. He needs replacing.

1 - Best Driver
Maldonado

2 - Best Team
Just to say sth. other than Williams/Lotus: Ferrari - They might not have built a super quick car, but at least they get their pitstops right. And in the hands of Alonso the car can win, apparently.

3 - Best Overtake
-

4 - Best Moment
When Maldonado stayed in front after the last pit stop.

5 - Worst Driver
Schumacher, another misjudgement from him in my view.
Edit: After reviewing the incident several times, I think it was racing incident rather than solely a misjudgement from Michael. Nevertheless he gets caught up in such incidents way too often.

6 - Worst Team
There's just one candidate for this after Saturday. I don't really have to name it, do I?

7 - Best Rookie
-

8 - Biggest Surprise
A Williams winning a race for the first time since 2004.

9 - General Comment(s)
I probably should've enjoyed this one more than I did. This whole tyre situation just gets, in Alonso's words, strange.

Best Driver: Pastor Maldonado, of course. (And even though it has nothing to do with his driving, the way he helped out at the fire was impressive.) Alonso deserves a honorary mention as well. :)
Best Team: I'd say Lotus.
Best Overtake: Kobayashi on Button. But Vettel had some nice moves too.
Best Moment: Vettel's last three overtakes.
Worst Driver: Michael Schumacher... (making an obvious mistake and them blaming Senna, ehh)
Worst Team: McLaren - something seems to be off with them in the past two races.
Best Rookie: -
Biggest Surprise: That Maldonado didn't throw away his points because of a stupid mistake. :)
