1 - Best Driver Alonso
2 - Best Team Ferrari
3 - Best Overtake Ah, tody if you overtake you get penalty, when MSC overtook Trulli the same way in 2003 nothing happened, but today it is just crazy.
4 - Best Moment well start
5 - Worst Driver Hamilton because he was fighting with the leaders wich IMAO he shouldnt
6 - Worst Team FIA serioussly *** No swearing *** fia, for you stupid decisions thats why, VET drives all race in top 3 and stupid FIA then pushes him to 5th, *** No swearing ***. Give him his 3rd place back, *** No swearing *** you stewardish bastards
7 - Best Rookie ah whatever
8 - Biggest Surprise Hamilton dnf and Alonso always lucky, always today when someone got him in the DRS zone there was always a backmarker in the way and he could use DRS, i dont like it. Make the DRS rules clearer so DRS can only use the car behind that is fighting for position and not trough stupid backmarker. the leader the escapes again...
9 - General Comment(s)
Ah race was ok, but FIA *** No swearing *** thats why, just look at 2003 MSC vs Trulli wich is even worse and no penalty there. I think no drivers should try to pass someone cuz he will get penalty, it is ridiclous today with the penalties. Worse than on F1 videogame. 6 od 10

Sorry for swearing but im pissed

1 - Best Driver - The top 3 drivers (Alonso, Vettel and Button)
2 - Best Team - Sauber
3 - Best Overtake - Schumacher on Hülkenberg
4 - Best Moment - Vettel's move on Button and Schumacher's fastest lap
5 - Worst Driver - Romain Grosjean
6 - Worst Team - Williams
7 - Best Rookie - ?
8 - Biggest Surprise - Button's pace
9 - General Comment(s) - a decent race. 8/10. Unfortunately a penalty for Vettel which makes the championship even more difficult for him. 39 points to Alonso will be hard to catch up.

[mikhailv]

1 - Best Driver- Alonso clearly. Closely followed by Button. Again, clearly those two.
2 - Best Team- Mclaren for the upgrades and the fact that they didnt do a thing wrong. Ferrari too.
3 - Best Overtake- I dont know really. Probably something by Kimi
4 - Best Moment- Alonso crossing the line.
5 - Worst Driver- Goujon
6 - Worst Team- HRFAIL
7 - Best Rookie- none
8 - Biggest Surprise- Alonso's tyres sempt to be going and I thought 'just let Jenson past, gain 3 points over Vettel' but no, he must have been tyre saving and playing, or keeping jenson in turbulent air to purposely wear his tyres more. I mean, he was already talking about Pit stops and being calm and studying Redbull 8 laps into the race over the radio!
9 - General Comment(s)

Not the greatest race, it only came alive when Jenson was hounding Alonso for the lead. Some great racing in the pack though!

[Petar]

1 - Best Driver: Button - he started 6-th and finished 3-rd. after disq. of Vettel he is second but he made interesting overtakes over the race.
2 - Best Team: Ferrari - another win. Mclaren finaly made their car to work properly and Button finished in podium.
3 - Best Overtake: Hamilton overtakes Vettel
4 - Best Moment: Hamilton overtakes Vettel
5 - Worst Driver: Senna, Massa.
6 - Worst Team: HRT, Marussia
7 - Best Rookie:
8 - Biggest Surprise: Maldonado didn't crash in someone
9 - General Comment(s): Borring race...

[tderias]

1 - Best Driver - Fernando Alonso. A 2 second gap was the largest margin he had to the following driver this afternoon, yet not a single flinch under that sort of pressure
2 - Best Team - Sauber
3 - Best Overtake - Kimi on DiResta
4 - Best Moment - 3 or 4 laps from the end when Alonso's victory looked safe and secure
5 - Worst Driver - Grosjean
6 - Worst Team - Williams
7 - Best Rookie - Vergne
8 - Biggest Surprise - Button's resurgence
9 - General Comment(s) - Quite a boring race. Not much happening apart from the squabbles at the front every now and then

[naiego]

1 - Best Driver

Alonso drove a faultless race but since we've seen that before I give my vote to Kobayashi

2 - Best Team

McLaren for becoming alive again.

3 - Best Overtake

Raikkonen on Di Resta

4 - Best Moment

Alonso on podium interview talking about austerity and economic crisis in Spain, Italy and Greece. It has been quite a while since an F1 driver commented on something that serious.

5 - Worst Driver

Grosjean

6 - Worst Team

Williams

7 - Best Rookie

None

8 - Biggest Surprise

Maldonado not hitting on anybody

9 - General Comment(s)

Decent race but I like Nurburgring better.

[Ferrari92]

1 - Best Driver
Alonso because he didn't crack under Vettel's and Button's pressure.

2 - Best Team
Sauber
Very good strategy. Perez from 17 to 6 and Kobayashi from 12 to 4

3 - Best Overtake
Raikkonen on Di Resta
Hamilton on Vettel

4 - Best Moment
Hamilton battling with the leaders

5 - Worst Driver
Massa, Grosjean and Maldonado (he started 5th)

6 - Worst Team
Williams

8 - Biggest Surprise
Button's pace

[donald29]

1 - Best Driver: Alonso

2 - Best Team: McLaren

3 - Best Overtake: Schumacher on Hulkenberg, but Raikkonen on di Resta also stood out. Some nice non-DRS passes!

4 - Best Moment: Not sure, having bemoaned Mercedes strategy allowing Hulkenberg to drop Schumacher the pass was sweet.

5 - Worst Driver: Grosjean unfortunately. Weekend to forget for him. Hitting Massa when Massa had no front wing, concentrate man.

6 - Worst Team: Toro Rosso

7 - Best Rookie: Pic, ahead of Glock. Interesting to see Glock finish not only behind Pic but de la Rosa.

8 - Biggest Surprise: Was going to say Maldonado being so slow, but it seems he had a damaged car. Thinking about it though, Webber's lack of pace was even more surprising. Vettel challenging for the win, Webber no where in 8th. Was so anonymous I forgot about him for this section!

9 - General Comment(s): Ok race. Alonso showing his class. Button, supposed master of tyre management who said he had the fastest car, couldn't pass Alonso at the end who managed things perfectly.

[Z.F.T.One]

1 - Best Driver -

For a faultless race/weekend, it has to go to Alonso.
Top marks to Button for turning around a run of appalling results, and
Worth a mention but no bubbles for Kobayashi and Perez

2 - Best Team -

Has to go to Sauba. KOB from 12th to 4th, and PER from 17th to 6th. Excellent effort/result.

3 - Best Overtake -

Schumacher & Raikkonen over Hulkenberg. Maldonado, look and learn.
Hamilton over Vettel.

4 - Best Moment -

McLaren pitstop. 2.4sec of pure poetry. Amazing!!

5 - Worst Driver -

Massa. Top car/team and only climbs one place. Another pathetic effort.
Maldonado. From 5th to 15th; and because he just is the worst driver.

6 - Worst Team -

Still HRT. Will they ever improve? Fingers crossed for them though.

7 - Best Rookie -

Vergne.............again.

8 - Biggest Surprise -

The Stewards/FIA actually giving out the right penalty for the right reasons. Vettel, abide by the rules, grow up and except your punishment. Cheats never prosper.
Maldonado not taking someone out and coming up with the poorest excuses ever.

9 - General Comment(s) -

A dull, boring race which thankfully due to a few squabbles kept you interested; or is this just the result of watching it on the BBC (highlights)??
