I don't think Kimi was worst driver like some of you say. There has been now lot of discussion that his spin was because of differential problems, not of his own mistake, and he was driving to podium before that... :confused:

1 - Best Driver: Button

2 - Best Team: Toyota. Starting last, they could do a lot... :thumbsup:

3 - Best Overtake: Considering that last year we had only like two o three overtakes every race, for this race I choose all of them!!.... :lol:

4 - Best Moment: Boths Ferraris out of the race :lol:

5 - Worst Driver: Barichello. Having the same car Button has, he was very lucky finishing second. Others drivers' mistakes gave him the podium. If not, he would have finished several positions behind. Also ruined others Drivers' races producing the crash in the first curve.

6- Worst Team: Force India (they should have finished in a better position but seems they are not improved since last year) and Williams (for having a poor result considering what we saw during the testing)

7 - Biggest Surprise: Vettel and Kubica crashing.

8 - General Comment: No more penalties!!!!

1 - Best Driver - Button, then Lewis or Trulli.
2 - Best Team - Brawn (who else?)
3 - Best Overtake - Rosberg on Kimi or Kimi on Rosberg
4 - Best Moment - The start.
5 - Worst Driver - Nakajima, Piquet, Barrichello.
6- Worst Team - Ferrari. But they are better than that.
7 - Biggest Surprise - Buemi, Lewis, Penaltys for Vettel and Trulli.
8 - General Comment

8/10. Good race...not great and not perfect.

Ferrari are around the 3rd/4th fastest team. Watch out for them around the podium.

Lewis did well to keep it on the track but it was't a 3rd place performance. He overtook because of KERS, people went off all over the place, reliablility and Safety Car(s).

Toyota are fast, Trull should not have got a penalty beacuse Lewis let him through. However slow Trull went to slow down, Lewis would go slower...Trulli would never have stayed behind.

Vettel shouldn't get a penalty, it was 50/50 and a racing incident, he should not break too early when you are fighting.

Brawn are massivly fast. 1-2's in the first few races at least (if they keep it together). Great for Button and Rubens...they deserve it.

1 - Best Driver - Jenson Button
2 - Best Team - Brawn GP
3 - Best Overtake - Timo Glock on Fernando Alonso
4 - Best Moment - The start of the race
5 - Worst Driver - Kazuki Nakajima
6 - Worst Team - I would say Ferrari :(
7 - Biggest Surprise - Collision between Vettel and Kubica with just 3 laps to go
8 - General Comment :
It was a great race, fun to watch with a lot of overtaking moves (thanks KERS! :O ). The start was dramatic as always, I thought Barrichello wouldn't finished in the podium after that collision. It's a shame for Ferrari because of their wrong tyre choice at the start. Vettel and Kubica did a great job before they collided at 3 laps before the end and It was a perfect weekend for Brawn GP Team, 1-2 in qualifying and 1-2 in the race, well done to them. I rated this race 8/10 :)
