1 - Best Driver
Vettel was amazing again today - twice I thought he was heading out but he held on at T1 and that move at Curva Grande, just wow. However, I give it to Jaime Alguersuari

2 - Best Team
No-one stands out today

3 - Best Overtake
Vettel on Alonso. Amazing

4 - Best Moment
First 15 laps

5 - Worst Driver
Liuzzi. Although he got an HRT up to 9th for about 0.2s!

6 - Worst Team
Williams, Sauber and HRT had a disaster

7 - Best Rookie
Di Resta

8 - Biggest Surprise
Alonso taking the lead at the start

9 - General Comment(s)
First 15 or 20 laps were really good, then it tailed off.

1 - Best Driver - Vettel - Drove again an awesome race, is there no one who could stop him? I don't think so.
2 - Best Team - Red Bull - That's a bit unfair to have car as dominant as theirs.
3 - Best Overtake - Hamilton over Schumacher over Hamilton. :n
4 - Best Moment - Hamilton overtaking Schumacher overtaking Hamilton :n
5 - Worst Driver - Liuzzi - What the heck was he thinking about!?
6 - Worst Team - HRT - Well, because of it's HRT and I hate them!
7 - Best Rookie - Senna isn't a rookie anymore, so I have to say Maldonado?
8 - Biggest Surprise - Alonso's start.

9 - General Comment(s) - Overall quite good race, in this one DRS wasn't so important, showed by Schuey, but after all, fastest car got advantage... Unfortunatelly...

Best team: Red Bull, they were not the favorites (theoretically), yet they managed to be the fastest.

Best driver: Vettel, another strong and dominant performance from the German.

Best overtake: Vettel on Alonso.

Best moment: The moment lasted 28 laps, of course I'm talking about the battle between Hamilton and Schumacher.

Worst driver: Liuzzi, for the mess he produced.

Worst team: Sauber.

Best rookie: Di Resta.

Biggest surprise: Red Bull's dominance on a circuit they always struggled.

General comments: If it wasn't for the battle between Hamilton and Schumacher this race would match Australian GP on the boredom scale.

1 - Best Driver
Vettel would be obvious, so I'll split it between him and Schumacher. Consider me impressed.
2 - Best Team
Red Bull by a mile.
3 - Best Overtake
Vettel on Alonso. Brave (I thought Alonso's defence was pretty aggressive tbh.) and as Alonso said, unexpectedly risky, with his huge championship lead. Button on Schumacher was pretty nuts good too.
4 - Best Moment
I guess all of the battle for 4th. Excitement was thinner on the ground than in recent Grands Prix, but oh well.
5 - Worst Driver
Liuzzi for the first corner carnage; I was gutted for Rosberg.
6 - Worst Team
Ferrari for their poor home race pace.
7 - Best Rookie
Di Resta.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Maybe that in the grand scheme of things, this race win virtually certifies the title for Vettel.

9 - General Comment
It was ok. It was one of those missing links between a so-so and an exciting race, a 7/10.

Monaco Grand Prix 9/10
Chinese Grand Prix 9/10
British Grand Prix 9/10
Turkish Grand Prix 9/10
Canadian Grand Prix 8/10
Belgian Grand Prix 8/10
German Grand Prix 8/10
Hungarian Grand Prix 8/10
Malaysian Grand Prix 8/10
Spanish Grand Prix 7/10
Italian Grand Prix 7/10 - can anyone remember a season where the Italian Grand Prix was less exciting than the Spanish?
Australian Grand Prix 7/10
European Grand Prix 5/10
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

1 - Best Driver: Vettel, who else? Maybe Schumacher?
2 - Best Team: I don't know
3 - Best Overtake: Button on Schumi
4 - Best Moment: Battle between Hamilton and Schumacher
5 - Worst Driver: Liuzzi, just need to re-check the start to know the reason
6 - Worst Team: Sauber
7 - Best Rookie: Di Resta
8 - Biggest Surprise: Webber had a poor week-end

9 - General Comment(s)
Good race, the battle between Schum and McLaren's drivers were exciting. I think Hamilton had problems with his maximum speed, that's why he struggled to overtake Schumi. Give the championships to Vettel, for me it's over. Now we should looking about who will finish 2nd.

1 - Best Driver
Vettel was simply brilliant. So was Schumacher's defending from Hamilton and the way he fought in an inferior car.
I guess I'll give it to both of them!

2 - Best Team
??????????

3 - Best Overtake
Vettel on Alonso at the outside of Curva Grande was brilliant.

4 - Best Moment
Alonso from fourth to first at the start

5 - Worst Driver
Liuzzi, took out a good number of the field due to his idiot driving at the first corner

6 - Worst Team
HRT

7 - Best Rookie
Perez, drove very well and was set for 7th until his car failed

8 - Biggest Surprise
The speed of that Red Bull, specially at the start of the race

9 - General Comment(s)

1 - Best Driver - Vettel, Schumacher
2 - Best Team - RBR
3 - Best Overtake - Vettel on Alonso
4 - Best Moment - Start - the tifozi went really crazy in Parrabolica (not just there!!) when Alonso took the lead, I mean the earth was moving, WOW. And MSC vs HAM that was epic and all in front of me - what a fantastic fight that was. Shot some great pics of it.
5 - Worst Driver - Liuzzi
6 - Worst Team - HRT
7 - Best Rookie - Senna
8 - Biggest Surprise - Hamilton couldnt get past Schumi for nearly 30 min, but i dont complain about it - it was fantastic to see them side by side when they went past me.

9 - General Comment(s)
Well i was there and what can i say it was great. Saw Webbers "exit" in a big smoke in Parrabolica, MSC vs HAM was fantastic - i went crazy. Super super.
If there were 1 more lap Hamilto would overtake Alonso. But 4th is good.

Well sorry bu you must understand why i give this race a 11/10
