1 - Best Driver
Sebastian Vettel. From 12th place to 2nd! He had a slow car in the straight line and still managed to overtake many cars! This race proved again that he can overtake. Also a great performance by Hülkenberg, Schumacher and Button.

2 - Best Team
Toro Rosso. And Mclaren for having by far the best car this weekend.

3 - Best Overtake
Räikkönen on Schumacher and Vettel on Webber

4 - Best Moment
Vettel finishing second

5 - Worst Driver
Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado. The 2 crash kings.

6 - Worst Team
Mercedes. They would've scored 0 points again if Schumacher hadn't outperformed the car.

7 - Best Rookie
Jean Eric Vergne

8 - Biggest Surprise
Alonso scoring 0 points

9 - General Comment(s)
a fascinating race to watch! Lots of overtakings and a great result that makes the championship exciting again. 9/10

1 - Best Driver

Button's task was easy, he had the fastest car, turned first and the rest was history. I give my vote to Vettel and Schumacher

2 - Best Team

McLaren I guess though they didn't score more points than Red Bull due to Hamilton's misfortune

3 - Best Overtake

Raikkonnen's on Schumacher at Eau Rouge

4 - Best Moment

Button's "semi" donuts at the end of the race on the start-finish line :)

5 - Worst Driver

Tough call...joint winners are Grosjean and Maldonado

6 - Worst Team

Mercedes, way off the pace

7 - Best Rookie

Jean Eric Vergne

8 - Biggest Surprise

Both Torro Rossos in the top-10

9 - General Comment(s)

Usually Spa gives us interesting races at least. This was one of them.

1 - Best Driver

Button did everything right, but I'm going to say Vettel. To me one of his best drives.

2 - Best Team

McLaren.

3 - Best Overtake

Kimi on Schumi was excellent and Schumi on Kimi was good earlier in the race. Was great to see the two Spa masters racing so closely. Going to say Vettel on Webber though. It was a good move, very close, but I'm saying it for what it meant as much as anything. That rivalry is still very much alive and Vettel really forced his way past his team-mate. It probably gave him the better strategy to finish P2 and was a bit of a message as to who is the number 1 Red Bull driver.

4 - Best Moment

Start was horrible, but once I knew Alonso was ok it was exciting to see Schumacher was somehow 5th! Even if I didn't think it was going to last. Three of the last four races now he's been out of position at the start and had to fight in a slower car before slipping back to finish 7th.

5 - Worst Driver

Grosjean

6 - Worst Team

Mercedes. So poor, not upgrading their car has to be the worst decision anyone's made this season. And consistent reliability problems, now on both cars.

7 - Best Rookie

Vergne.

8 - Biggest Surprise

Force India 3-4, Schumacher 5th and Toro Rosso 6-7 after the start.

9 - General Comment(s)

It was a good race. Perhaps promised a bit more than it delivered, but some good wheel to wheel racing throughout.

1 - Best Driver - Button - untouchable
2 - Best Team - hmm lets say RBR
3 - Best Overtake - MSC vs Kimi was good, and Vettel also made some great moves
4 - Best Moment - well the start ofcourse. We wait 1 month to get back racing, and some cant just hide it lol
5 - Worst Driver - Grosjean, he needs mirrors from a big rig - but he still wouldnt take a look
6 - Worst Team - Williams, Caterham and HRT
7 - Best Rookie - Vergne
8 - Biggest Surprise - The start crash, didnt expect that at all. And a little bit dissapointed that Kimi didnt get the victory.
9 - General Comment(s)
Well a crazy race... and only Vettel closed the gap to Alonso.
Well i think its ok 1 race ban for RoGro. He did the same in Monaco, and Pastor i think he already broke the 1 season penalties record - we just passed half way... wow and he already got a big list to his name.

Well lets move on to Monza where unfortunatley Liuzzi isnt driving anymore to bring some action into turn1... lol

8/10

1 - Best Driver-Hulkenberg
2 - Best Team- Redbull
3 - Best Overtake- I dont know. I mean, half was cars overtaking much slower cars or cars with problems.
4 - Best Moment- The race ending
5 - Worst Driver- Grosjean
6 - Worst Team- HRT
7 - Best Rookie- None
8 - Biggest Surprise- Losing the only drivers who wouldve made the race interesting as they had pace which may have challenged Button; Alonso,Hamilton, Kobayashi, Perez and Grosjean.
9 - General Comment(s)

Losing the main protagonists meant a boring race. Redbull was out of position so they clawed a haul of points going around slower cars, as the faster cars infront of Webbers position were all took out. Lost a REALLY good opportunity to see what Kobayashi and Perez couldve done, I had such high hopes. Instead we got Kimi's lotus doing what it normally does; go backwards and have piss poor pace in the race, Button driving away at the front because nobody could challenge him, like he said, he was just enjoying the scenery. Just a real shockingly bad race due to one imbecile ruining it all.

1 - Best Driver:Hulkenberg,great drive

2 - Best Team:Red Bull

3 - Best Overtake:Kimi On Schumacher

4 - Best Moment:Button winning

5 - Worst Driver:Mark Webber,before germany the gap betweem him and Kimi was 33 points and now just one point seperates the two of them,webber has picked just 16 points from 3 races!,his team mate started 10th and with a better stategy finished on podium,but webber finishes behind the likes of Massa & Hulkenberg.he can't win the championship like this.
6 - Worst Team:

7 - Best Rookie:Vergne

8 - Biggest Surprise:Toro Rosso finishing in points,thanks to hamilton,alonso,grosjean,kobayashi and perez having problems.

9 - General Comment(s):McLaren wins for the second consecutive time (the first team this season to do so),they have the best car,winning in Hungary and Spa, two different layouts proves it,but seems like something goes wrong for them every race,they can win both championships,they just need a little bit luck and they should stop making stupid mistakes.
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.
