1 - Best Driver
Sebastian Vettel. Dominant for the second successive weekend.

2 - Best Team
Red Bull Racing. 1-2 in qualifying, 1-2 in the race.

3 - Best Overtake
Nico Hulkenberg on Lewis/Romain

4 - Best Moment
Hamilton with the astroturf. Comical and sums up his season.

5 - Worst Driver
Kobayashi for taking out two rivals and robbing us of the chance to see how Button's strategy would play out.

6 - Worst Team
McLaren had more problems, but can't be blamed for Button not finishing. Mercedes had another shocker, but overall Williams had no pace.

7 - Best Rookie
Vergne. Good result for him.

8 - Biggest Surprise
Hamilton's poor pace.

9 - General Comment(s)
Something about this track doesn't inspire me. Probably the surroundings.

a boring race, just like Suzuka. And I believe it won't get better because India is next...

1 - Best Driver - For me, and I'm a little bias, Hulkenberg. Vettel did well but he wasn't 30/40 seconds up the road like in Suzuka. He managed to overtake his teammate and win by 10 seconds. Hulkenberg managed to keep a much faster Grosjean behind him for the majority of the race. Then that overtake was orgasmic.

2 - Best Team - Gotta be Red Bull. Toro Rosso did well though. But that is just Red Bull in Italian. ;)

3 - Best Overtake - Hulkenberg on Grosjean/Hamilton. Breathtaking, amazing stuff.

4 - Best Moment - See above.

5 - Worst Driver - Kobayashi.

6 - Worst Team - Williams were no where today, McLaren let Hamilton down again and Mercedes were poor again. I'd go for Williams though. Really dropped off in the development race.

7 - Best Rookie - Vergne. Really good result. He's a good driver in the race, needs to sort the qualifying out though.

8 - Biggest Surprise - Massa being so quick again. Williams being nowhere.

9 - General Comment(s)

You can feel the atmosphere of the race track sat at home. It isn't a nice atmosphere at all. I was impressed with Sky this weekend though and hope to see more of Anthony Davidson. Thought it was a decent race and the track is quite a good design. Really happy with Hulkenbergs performance.

1 - Best Driver
Vettel

2 - Best Team
Red Bull. Honourable mention Toro Rosso.

3 - Best Overtake
Hulkenberg on Grosjean / Hamilton

4 - Best Moment
The battles Lewis had defending with a slow, broken car.

5 - Worst Driver
Kobayashi. Also di Resta had a poor weekend.

6 - Worst Team
Mercedes. Still hard on their tyres, this despite not upgrading the car for a long time to focus understanding on the tyres. And the lack of upgrades really cost them then the ones they finally did bring have done little. Top 3 qualifiers at the start of the season and race winners. Now over a second off the pace. Good luck Lewis.

7 - Best Rookie
Vergne

8 - Biggest Surprise
McLaren's shocker of a race. Also Williams lack of pace. Strange how they've dropped off so suddenly.

9 - General Comment(s)
Easily the worst race of the season. Even went and did a poo in the middle of it. Usually I'd wait until the finish.

1 - Best Driver
Obvious answer would be Vettel, but I have to go with Hülkenberg :)

2 - Best Team
Red Bull

3 - Best Overtake
Hülkenberg on Grosjean and Hamilton, hands down

4 - Best Moment
Hülkenberg's constant battle with Grosjean, especially the above mentioned overtake

5 - Worst Driver
Kobayashi, but I think it was probably due to all the pressure on him

6 - Worst Team
Williams. Senna almost got lapped...

7 - Best Rookie
JEV

8 - Biggest Surprise
Hamitlon's almost comical race...

1 - Best Driver
Hulkenberg followed by Massa. The Hulk proved his dominance over his teammate yet again. If it wasn't Alonso ahead of him and every point mattered, Felipe would have been on the podium and very possbily challenging Mark. Vettel had a such a car beneath him that anything less than a dominating victory would be surprising, and I believe he would have easily been on pole if not for being too complacent and relaxed, thinking his time was unbeatable.

2 - Best Team
Red Bull. Best car, best race strategy, blitzed everyone else, no chance.

3 - Best Overtake
Hulk on Romain and Lewis. He probably knew Romain will panic if he showed him a wheel, and took advantage of the scrabble. I'm telling ya, future world champ right there.

4 - Best Moment
Alonso slotting into P3 at the start. Nothing spectacular for the whole race though

5 - Worst Driver
Kamui Kobayashi. Not a mistake you'd expect with the experience he has.

6 - Worst Team
Mercedes

7 - Best Rookie
jev

8 - Biggest Surprise
Massa's pace, and Hamilton's lack of it

9 - General Comment(s)
Another Red Bull procession. 5/10

I gave it a 7/10.

1. Best driver: Massa and Hulkenberg.
2. Best team: Red Bull an Toro Rosso.
3. Best overtake: Hulkenberg's double assault.
4. Best moment: the start (at the front!).
5. Worst driver: i guess it's unanimous. Kamui.
6. Worst team: hmmm difficult one. Mclaren. They struggeled all weekend.
7. Best rookie: Jan eric
8. Biggest surprise: Massa
9. General: good race til the end. The fact that F1 needs psy to attract crowds and that fake grass clings onto cars will do very little to this race's appeal. But at least Webber and Vettel danced Gangnam style.....
