1 - Best Driver
Three candidates for this: Hamilton, Webber and Massa. Hamilton overtook everyone on track that he needed to and paced himself brilliantly. Webber because he came from the back and his pace was utterly remarkable. Massa because his tyre management was good, he beat Alonso and his strategy wasn't the best. Tough call between Hamilton and Webber, but I think I'll give it to the former.

2 - Best Team
Has got to be McLaren. The mechanics were amazing in fixing the car before the start of the race

3 - Best Overtake
Either Hamilton or Button or Hamilton on Vettel (the second time around)

4 - Best Moment
The whole race was utterly awesome

5 - Worst Driver
Either Maldonado or Perez.

6 - Worst Team
Williams. No excuses for such woeful pace

7 - Best Rookie
Probably di Resta

8 - Biggest Surprise
Rosberg leading

1 - Best Driver- Webber 18th to 3rd

2 - Best Team- Mercedes for getting into fight with Mclaren, Red Bull and Ferrari

3 - Best Overtake- Hamilton on Button

4 - Best Moment- Mark Webber lapping 3-4s quicker than cars ahead.

5 - Worst Driver- Sergio Perez- drove like demolition derby

6 - Worst Team- Toro Rosso- All teams managed to get both cars home, but they put wheel lose on Algersauri's car and ruined his race. Also both drivers in top 10 in qualifying for nothing.

7 - Best Rookie- Paul Di Riesta- Just missed points but good race.

8 - Biggest Surprise- Mark Webber's pace on soft tires towards end.

9 - General Comment(s)- Nice to see Williams finally finishing the race.

1 - Best Driver
Mark Webber, 18th to 3rd as well as passing both Ferraris, both Mercedes and 1 McLaren on the track as well

2 - Best Team
McLaren, both drivers on correct strategy

3 - Best Overtake
Lewis Hamilton on Jenson Button

4 - Best Moment
Lewis Hamilton taking the lead from Sebastian Vettel and then taking the chequered flag.

5 - Worst Driver
Pastor Maldonado, beaten by a Lotus

6 - Worst Team
Was thinking of Williams but Rubens got 13th; only Maldonando was woeful, so i guess maybe Ferrari for messing up their strategy and costing Massa a podium

7 - Best Rookie
Paul di Resta, good steady race; close to the points

8 - Biggest Surprise
Mark Webber lapping 2(!) seconds faster than all others consistently for the last 20(!) laps; and then make Alonso, Massa, Rosberg and Button all look like movable chicanes towards the end of the race.
23 drivers finishing the race (24 if the Toro Rosso mechanics knew how to fix a tyre)

9 - General Comment(s)
Brilliant race, so much overtaking...... Pirelli tyres rock! 10/10 for action!

1 - Best Driver- I think it should be Webber for his phenomenol drive from the back. I really didnt expect him to come close, and suddenly he seemed to appeaar in last 10 laps or so
2 - Best Team- Mclaren did a great job to have Hamilton's car ready, and Red Bull were quick today
3 - Best Overtake- Perez on Webber, Hamilton on Vettel
4 - Best Moment- whole race was nice
5 - Worst Driver- Maldonado,making Williams regret their earlier comment that he is not a pay driver
6 - Worst Team- HRT
7 - Best Rookie- Di Riesta
8 - Biggest Surprise- Webbers 3rd place finish

9 - General Comment(s)- Heidfeld was to blame for his incident with perez, so the hand gesture wasnt worth it, Pirelli tyres continue being great (just hoping that Jules introduces this into Bat

)
