1-Best Driver - Massa- great start and controlled the race, Lewis - not great today not even after his puncture, Kimi - yawn yawn yawn, where the hell did that lap time come from! impressive final laps, he will be unbeatable at Spa, Heikki - very lucky for once, a deserved victory, Glock - amazing, i thought kimi would take him/ he'd be on a 3 stopper but no! Piquet was consistent and Alonso's 4th was well deserved for wringing the neck of the Renault in qualifying for the last few races.

2-Best Team - Toyota - only McLaren scored more points in the race

3-Best overtaking - Massa on Hamilton - one of only 3 i saw

4-best Moment - Massa's engine failure and Kovalainen wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5-worst driver & worst team - Nakajima and Williams or Toro Rosso - Williams- what the hell, where are they, this is the same time that scored a podium in Oz. Toro Rosso were just mechanically bad today

6-Best Rookie - Glock (Piquet)

7-The most surprising moment- Ferrari engine failure- 2nd for Massa this year

i would have given this race 3/10 but the excitement near the end: lewis' puncture/massa failage made it a 6/10

1-Best Driver
Massa, who deserved to win. Glock who deserved his seond place.
2-Best Team
Ferrari/Toyota for their car improvements.
3-Best Overtake
Massa on Hamilton at Turn 1. It was sublime! Hemming him so that he didn't get good drive out of the turn, round the outside. Truly amazing.
4-Best Moment
Hamilton's puncture, Alonso's whole race, Kovy crossing the line.
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team
Rosberg/Bourdais and Williams/BMW
6-Best Rookie
Glock of the first full-season guys. Piquet of the first season guys. But really Glock.
7-The most surprising moment
Massa's excruciating, undeserved and thoroughly unlucky retirement.

8-General Comment-
Kovalainen has had better races and worse results. I don't think he deserved to win, but good for him. The 5th different winner this season, which can only be good.

I think Alonso, Piquet and Renault did rather well. Both guys qualified with comparatively high levels of fuel compared to the rest of the top 10. They had solid race pace, probably the third or fourth best given that Glock probably way outperformed his car. Fourth and sixth places are great for team motivation, and I believe that puts Renault to 4th in the WCC..
EDIT: I was mistaken.. Toyota are 4th, just about, by 4 points. 35-31.

Hamilton may have had bad luck, but Massa's ridiculous rotten luck more than made up for it. Raikkonen only gained two points on LH. So Hamilton fanclub, please don't complain.

Canada 9/10
Monaco 9/10
Britain 8/10
Australia 8/10
Germany 6/10
Hungary 6/10 - this is where it fits in. It was surprisingly good.
France 5/10
Bahrain 5/10
Turkey 5/10
Malaysia 4/10
Spain 3/10

1-Best Driver - Massa or Glock, can't decide
2-Best Team - Toyota for improvements
3-Best Overtaking - Massa on Hamilton at the start
4-Best Moment - I don't want to say Massa's failure because it was only good because Kovalainen won, so the start, very tense
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team - Force India, did nothing special, Sutil just did nothing all race
6-Best Rookie - Piquet - No serious mistakes now, hes sorting himself out
7-The most surprising moment - Hamilton's puncture and Massa's engine failure

1-Best Driver - Massa then Glock

2-Best Team - Toyota

3-Best overtaking - Massa on the two Mercs

4-best Moment - Massa streight into turns one/two in the lead!

5-worst driver & worst team - Vettel and Torro Rosso

6-Best Rookie - Glock

7-The most surprising moment - Massa's engine blow out!

I thought that Massa's performance was outstanding, I missed his overtaking menouver to start with as I was watching Kimi go close to the wall up the inside. Hamilton was unlucky, then VERY lucky! If Kimi got past Alonso it would have been a different race!

1-Best Driver, Glock***, very good weekend
2-Best Team, not Mercedes, not Ferrari, not Bmw, and not Renault or Toyota. No one?
3-Best overtaking, Massa to Hamilton (and Heikki)
4-best Moment, race start
5-worst driver & worst team, team BMW, after Kubica wins on Canada they don't get any. Driver?, not sure, maybe Hamilton, loose 1st place on race start, and drive as always, blocking tyres, so they can fail, as today.
6-Best Rookie, Glock, Piquet
7-The most surprising moment, race start

***= I think Glock have a very good weekend. Kimi, had a good job when he get pass Alonso. Massa, very good race start. Kovalainenm win, because Massa and Hamilton fails, so lucky, but finally win. As Piquet previous Gp, you must be there when good luck look you..
