1 - Best Driver - LEWIS HAMILTON!!!!
2 - Best Team - MCLAREN!!!
3 - Best Overtake - Vettel on Hamilton (Although it wasnt too nice, it was skilled though so y'know :))
4 - Best Moment - When Glock retired and Hamilton became the World Champion! Or did his car fail? I dunno but it was a good move :P
5 - Worst Driver & Worst Team - Worst driver was probably Kovalienan he didnt 'protect' Lewis very well. Sorry Heikki :( Ferrari was worst team (Just a general dislike ;))
6 - Best Rookie - Vettel will go far. (Although he overtook Hamilton, which I was disappointed about!)
7 - Biggest Surprise - When Lewis actaully won! It would've been awful in 6th place :(
8 - General Comment - It was absolutely phenomenal! I thought he'd lost the title when Vettel overtook him my heart was in my mouth! But then i was relieved like hell when he won! :D
OMG! I'm still extremely happy :)
I felt bad for Massa though, someone in Ferrari must've confirmed that he'd won. Bless him. He should come drive for McLaren :D And David Coulthard. Aww. Last race :(

1 - Best Driver
Massa or Vettel, plus a massive shout to Alonso. But Massa. He won a wet race, think about it..
2 - Best Team
Ferrari for actually not screwing anything up. As if that mattered.
3 - Best Overtake
Alonso retakes Kovy at Turn 2
4 - Best Moment
The moment I realized that FA had moved to 5th in the WDC. That is pure class in such a BS car.
5 - Worst Driver & Worst Team
Kubica for being a cock while lapped.
6 - Best Rookie
Not Piquet. Glock for his sterling efforts.
7 - Biggest Surprise
I didn't explode during the last lap.

8 - General Comment
What to say? My heart is dead, I have no pulse (this will go on for 4 and a half months, maybe more), I can't smile and I'm going to drown my sorrows the way that only students can. Massa fully deserved that. He drove a perfect race, no mistakes, no caving in under pressure, in the wet, where Hamilton looked surprisingly suspect. Indeed Hamilton deserves 2nd on the strength of this performance, while Massa should have been Champion.

First corner, Piquet and DC were such obvious bets for accident that I should have put money on it. Maybe I would feel better for it. Alonso and Vettel did so superbly at the pitstops and shortly after on their dry tyres. They were absolutely legendary, and once again, made Hamilton look slow. Which he was today.

Glock just hit the cliff-edge of adhesion, as Brundle rather nicely put it (or at least he said something like that). No slowing or anything, if you want a reason for Hamilton's title, blame Trulli's poor strategy. Alonso demonstrated superior racecraft on the faster straight-lining Kovy, really putting him in his place round the outside of Turn 3/4. You want a real champion? Alonso's your man.

Vettel was superb, sublime. He was sharklike, using Kubica's tomfoolery as a chance to screw Hamilton, which it looks like he could have done anyway. In other words, he trounced Hamilton.

Massa was astounding. Think Hungary x2. He won in the wet! Massa! Moral victor.

10/10 - a more dramatic Grand Prix you will not find. This is the best Grand Prix I've seen live, and perhaps the best I've seen. Ever. Maybe Hungary 2006 just beats it, but not by much. It probably caused heart-attacks in every country in the world. It was that good.

Brazil 10/10
Canada 9/10
Monaco 9/10
Singapore 9/10
Italy 9/10
Britain 8/10
Australia 8/10
Japan 7/10
Belgium 8/10
Germany 6/10
Hungary 6/10
Bahrain 5/10
France 5/10
Turkey 5/10
Malaysia 4/10
Europe 4/10
China 4/10
Spain 3/10
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.
