Rated 5/10

1 - Best Driver - Kimi , Lewis , Jenson , Vettel again
2 - Best Team - Brawn and Red Bull + Ferrari and McLaren
3 - Best Overtake - Jenson on Lewis and Fernando on Trulli
4 - Best Moment - Everything on 1rst few laps after the first corner lots of action
5 - Worst Driver - Piquet ?
6 - Worst Team - Renault cause they kept Piquet and since last season they're saying " we should support him "
7 - Biggest Surprise - Kimi in Points :D
8 - General Comment - No major comments on the race it was kinda full of action and didn't end up till the last lap but yet Red Bull and Toyota are so close to stop brawn what will be McLaren and Ferrari actions during the European races ? and what will BMW do ? will Williams stop leading FPs and do something good in races ? Are Renault and BMW drop their "Lego" car designs and re-design new cars ? lots of questions ..

Well done for Jenson , Kimi , Lewis is back on performance , Alonso it's time to regret not joining Red Bull last season and Webber keep copying Vettel's set up :P

1 - Best Driver - Button was excellent today, did well in the opening lap shuffle to be 3rd and then took advantage of strategy to win comfortably.
2 - Best Team - Brawn GP, had the best strategy and ran Button's race perfectly. I don't agree with Rubens on a 3 stop strategy but on a 2 stop he would have probably finsihed 4th anyway so it doesn't really matter.
3 - Best Overtake - Alonso on Trulli, most drivers would have given up but Alonso took the oppurtunity and overtook him. Shame he finsihed 9th.
4 - Best Moment - The opening couple of laps with there being enough action to shake a stick at. It was like bumper cars in the midfield, no wonder the BMW's and Nakajima lost their front wings.
5 - Worst Driver - Heidfeld, lost front wing and drove uninterested to last place. Not a race that'll advance his stock for next year.
6 - Worst Team - BMW, even though they lost their front wings had no pace all weekend and never looked like advancing through the order.
7 - Biggest Surprise - Toyota's strategy of putting hard tyres on for the 2nd stint, if they used the same strategy everyone else used would have had at least 2nd and 5th, if not a first Toyota win for Trulli. Trulli's lack of pace in the last stint was disappointing yet somehow predictable.
8 - General Comment - A race that threatened lots and delivered little, dull enough to have me flicking between the the race and the Moto GP highlights from Motegi at the end. Great win for Button, frustration for Toyota and embarassment for BMW.

4 - Best Moment: First laps
5 - Worst Driver: Heidfeld
6 - Worst Team: BMW
7 - Biggest Surprise: A lot of fruntrunners pitting earlier than all the pre race calculations said.
8 - General Comment: Average race, McLaren seem to be back. A lot of weak drivers this year: Piquet, Kovalainen, Nakajima, Heidfeld...
