Re: Rate the 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
1 - Best Driver
Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Both utterly relentless today; Alonso working wonders in a car that is only 3rd best. Lewis did everything he needed to do, and the sight of Red Bull 1 spinning in front of him at Turn 2 must have made his year
2 - Best Team
McLaren did a good job today, Lewis's 2nd pit stop was blindingly fast
3 - Best Overtake
The action on Lap one was fairly good, as was Button's pass on Webber at Turn 14
4 - Best Moment
Lap One. Lots of action
5 - Worst Driver
Oh dear, quite a few candidates today. Webber yet again underperformed, Massa finally seemed to redeem himself but then lost pace and spun. Senna, Alguersuari, Maldonado all ignoring blue flags, Barrichello actually overtook Lewis
6 - Worst Team
Force India's strategy was rather odd. Putting di Resta on a one stop strategy just opened him up to attack from others; it served no purpose. That said, Renault was dire again. This feels like 2009 all over again for them.
7 - Best Rookie
Probably di Resta, although Perez's effort was reasonable
8 - Biggest Surprise
Vettel's puncture. Just so strange. A shame he retired as I was looking forward to a fightback
9 - General Comment(s)
Decent race, 6/10. Alonso kept Lewis honest enough to ensure that the result was never quite certain

Hamilton did well. Shame we didn't get to see who'd have won out of him and Vettel. Alonso was brilliant again and a very strong race from Rosberg.
2 - Best Team
McLaren obviously, and Force India.
3 - Best Overtake
Alonso on Button lap 1.
4 - Best Moment
Can't single out anything special.
5 - Worst Driver
Maldonado. Dreadful. Again.
6 - Worst Team
Williams.
7 - Best Rookie
di Resta.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Vettel's puncture. So soon in the race as well.

Best Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but then that's not saying much.

Re: Rate the 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
1 - Best Driver - Hamilton, after Vettel´s puncture his way was open for victory. But great respect deserves Alonso,his all race consistent pace with car no.3 was brilliant.
2 - Best Team - McLaren
3 - Best Overtake - Webber on Button,Webber on Massa fight in lap 31
4 - Best Moment - start
5 - Worst Driver - Maldonado
6 - Worst Team - Williams, starting ( both cars ) from last grid is a real shame, no matter for what reasons.
7 - Best Rookie - Sergio Perez
8 - Biggest Surprise - Webber and Button unable keep pace with Alonso, Massa performance with the same car , thats not surprise but cruel reality. I´m just wondering that he will stay next year with Ferrari team.
9 - General Comment(s) - For Abu Dhabi decent race,it´s pitty Vettel´s DNF,race could be more thrilling. 6 points

Re: Rate the 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
1 - Best Driver, top 6, Alonso really not awesome, but not one was.
2 - Best Team. Mclaren, both driver on podium
3 - Best Overtake. Really not one. Alo vs But or Barrichello vs Ham
4 - Best Moment. First laps, and But+Mas+Web, but was too short.
5 - Worst Driver, top 6, no one. Blue car, Alg, and Maldonado, really bad
6 - Worst Team. RBR, rare strategy for Webber, I really don't understand. I think he can get more with normal strategy.
7 - Best Rookie
8 - Biggest Surprise
Button problems on first laps, he was near 1s slower his teammate.

A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.
