1-Best Driver - Fernando and Kubica on par
2-Best Team - Renault
3-Best Overtake - Massa on Webber
4-Best Moment - Kovalainen´s retirement
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team - Hamilton and McLaren Mercedes
6-Best Rookie - Piquet
7-Biggest Surprise - Hamilton´s stupidity at the start (better second than 12th mate)
8-General Comment - I never thought this could happen, but I´m really beginning to admire Fernando: That guy´s got pride, b*** and is a damn good racing driver, in fact the best of them all at the moment. Give him the car and he delivers.
I know it´s hypothetical, but I´m sure Fernando would have won at least 8 races in a Ferrari this year.

3-Best Overtake
Massa on webber.

4-Best Moment
Hamilton spinning and joinig in last

1-Best Driver - Tie between Kubica and Alonso

2-Best Team - Renault

3-Best Overtake - Massa on Webber

4-Best Moment - Kubica taking the lead

5-Worst Driver & Worst Team - Massa, Hamilton (WORST PERFORMANCE OF TWO CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS I HAVE EVER SEEN :<>: ) and Williams

6-Best Rookie - Nelson Piquet jr.

7-Biggest Surprise - Massa and Hamilton both not taking advantage and letting take others the victory (again....)
8-General Comment - It was a good race and it had a good outcome with Alonso winning and Kubica second.

9-Your thoughts & Rating for TV coverage(out of 10)
The race was one of the good ones of this season. Even if it was dry it was a tough race. Alonso won in style and Kubica took a great start and 2nd place in the end. The worst performance of this race came from Hamilton and Massa. Hamilton lost his head in the very first corner and Massa did so some corners later.... That's not a race for the championship title, it's rather becoming a farce.
I'm very angry about Hamilton. He said he's much more concentrated and more well-balanced than last year so often this weekend...; I think we all have seen how well-balanced he is. :s . Why don't he just shuts up and try to bring this title home :<>:
German RTL coverage gets a 6/10 rating. It was nothing special, just as always.

1-Best Driver: Alonso
2-Best Team: Renault
3-Best Overtake: Hamilton on Barrichello
4-Best Moment: When Bourdais took the lead
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team: Massa and McLaren (no points today, at least Kimi finish 3rd for Ferrari)
6-Best Rookie: Piquet
7-Biggest Surprise: Bourdais' penalty
8-General Comment: A good race, I think Bourdais not deserve to have a penalty and what a mistake at the start from Hamilton. He needs to get a points, not to win the race!! I would like to say a few words about BMW. If Kubica finish 2nd (he take his opportunitie) Alonso was much quicker than Robert.... and what a disaster race from Heindfeld.
Also I think it's a good thing than Alonso won the last two races, for Renault and for F1
TV rating: umm... 8
