Red Bull was the worst team? Are you serious? :lol:

And Mercedes? The teams that finished 1-2 and 3-4 are the two "worst teams" of the race? I smell rage. :lol:

They were worst in the sense that they are using team orders in the beginning of the season and don't let the guys race...


Best Driver: Uhm, I like how Vettel pushed it, even if it was against the team orders.
Best Team: -
Best Overtake: Vettel and Webber's fight
Best Moment: See above + Hamilton's stop at McLaren
Worst Driver: Pastor Maldonado - What happened to him?
Worst Team: Force India, their pit stops were ridiculous... I agree with mikhailv, Mercedes and RBR "deserve" a mention for their team orders...
Best Rookie: I guess Bianchi
Biggest Surprise: Alonso's/Ferrari's misjudgement

General Comment(s): I think it was much better than last week's GP...

No rage. They way the team performed over team orders makes them the worst team. Simple.

Because usualy if someone stuck the moan tell the team to do something, cant overtake...
But the RBR fight was awesome. And thats what i like great fights...
I dont know what RBRs plans were about positions... but the fight was excelent...
Really enyoyed it


8/10

1 - Best Driver
Probably Nico, very steady, fast, and should be in Podium like Hamilton said.

2 - Best Team
Should be Red Bulls, but Mercedes did a very good job over a week, showing their great pace. So Mercedes it is..

3 - Best Overtake
Pretty much to choose... Probably Vettel on Webber, or... Kimi on Hulkenberg? Kimi seemed frustrated!

4 - Best Moment
Both Mercedes behind Red Bulls.. It means they really is stepping forward, and Lewis will be in a great position for this year, and probably next year too..

5 - Worst Driver
Pastor! My goodness, I choose him twice in a row!

6 - Worst Team
Should be Williams, but by judging their situation that they don't have the pace at all, I probably choosing Mclaren.. It's because they threw the chance to secure descent points with a very bad pit stop! Poor Button! He did a very good job though... I sense Mclaren comeback?

7 - Best Rookie
Another vote for Bianchi. Nice drive, very confident and proving he deserved much better cars than marrusia!

8 - Biggest Surprise
Lotus pace! Is this race showing Lotus' real pace? But in FP1 and 2, kimi showed great pace! I don't exactly know what's wrong with them, they suddenly become the slowest of 4 top teams! I thought mercedes was, but no, mercedes is 2nd, the closest rivals to Red Bull.. With this, Lotus might probably be the worst team, but my decision is still on Mclaren...

9 - General Comment(s)
Overall, this race is not too exciting, especially after the 1st pit stops when the track dry enough... But this race shows some images of who is the fastest teams on top 4. It's still Red Bulls, and surprisingly Mercedes shows a strong performance behind RB. Seems like they found the right setup for the race pace, meanwhile Ferrari was probably in 3rd, and Lotus is 4th (unexpectedly!).. I hope the development still juggling the order of the top teams though, but RB will always be up there!

O yeah, it's great to discuss about team order too, judging by this race, Webber probably no longer obey to team orders! this is what I think... Webber seems deeply dissapointed by his teammate this time. It's like being back-stabbed!

1 - Best Driver - Webber, and I'm quite surprised there's only Edi that thinks so as well. Regardless of all the handbags that went on, they guy went from P5 to P1 by breaking his mould of s**t starts, and perfecting his tyre strategy concerning the crossover. Honorable mention to Grosjean. Started 11th and trumped his teammate, who start 4 places ahead, to finish 6th.

2 - Best Team - Red Bull. Fastest package as usual. Good strategies give or take.

3 - Best Overtake - I'd say Vettel/Webber, but we all know Mark wasn't in racing-mode. No other overtakes spring to mind, thanks to DRS which made it ridiculously easy.

4 - Best Moment - The last stint, the Red Bull and Mercedes farcicle.

5 - Worst Driver - Massa, Raikkonen. Massa proving inconsistent/invisible as I often thought as well, yet people still b*tch when Alonso gets preferential treatment. Raikkonen was really struggling out there as well, although that could be down to the car.

6 - Worst Team - Force India for screwing up a good chance of solid points. Lotus as well, for turning to what looked like a pole setting car on Friday, to an undriveable one for Kimi on Saturday. Could have at least beaten the Mercedes today.

7 - Best Rookie - Jules Bianchi. Mega as usual.

8 - Biggest Surprise - Slow Loti

9 - General Comment(s) - Quite boring up to the last few laps really. 6/10.

1 - Best Driver:Jules Bianchi,Nico Hulkenberg
2 - Best Team:Marussia,great step forward this season
3 - Best Overtake:none of overtakes were special
4 - Best Moment:Hamilton stopping in McLaren! :)
5 - Worst Driver:Vettel,it's odd to choose winner of the race as worst driver,nothing was wrong with his driving but his attitude toward racing and his team mate is really disappointing, "he is slower than me,get him out of the way", Are you serious?! why the team should do that? this is just the start of the season and your team mate needs points as much as you want them if you want to pass him you should do it yourself.it was childish,it was ridiculous.
6 - Worst Team:Williams
7 - Best Rookie:Jules Bianchi
8 - Biggest Surprise:Lotus's pace was surprisingly slower than expected.

9 - General Comment(s):5/10,boring race :confused:
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.

1 - Best Driver
Webber, Rosberg
2 - Best Team
Red Bull
3 - Best Overtake
Would have said Vettel on Webber if not for the circumstances. Next I guess is Kimi/Hülkenberg.
4 - Best Moment
Hamilton's pit stop blunder
5 - Worst Driver
Maldonado had a bad race again. Also Alonso.
6 - Worst Team
Force India
7 - Best Rookie
Bianchi. Bottas did OK too.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Lotus struggling
9 - General Comment(s)
The team orders left a bad taste. I can agree with the hold station order if the two drivers are evenly matched, on the limit and there would be a significant risk involved in fighting it out. One could argue that this was the case with Red Bull, and Vettel acted like a complete cucumber by stealing the win like that. In contrast, asking Rosberg to follow Hamilton even when he was instructed to save fuel was unfortunate.
