1. Best Driver
Sutil and Alonso.

2. Best Team
Lotus.

3. Best Overtake
Not sure

4. Best Moment
The start and the whole race pretty much was open

5. Worst Driver
Maldonado, but he was in (see below). Grosjean... so he didnt crash, but that's not good enough, considering Kimi blew everyone away. Webber blew the start, he had some issue though, so he may be forgiven.

6. Worst Team
Williams

7. Best Rookie
Bianchi and Gutierrez were pretty good.

8. Biggest Surprise
Kimi's win and Sutil leading.... twice, and for a good number of laps.

8/10 race.
Very good race, but after Q i was kinda expecting much more drama.

I think Alonso do a great move change tyres before SV and FM. He can not overtake and Kimi was near his back. Get in one lap overtake two cars that was 3 positions before. And that move, change tyres before, make Kimi strategy the right choice, stay on track and take care of tyres. I think if Alonso didn't do that, he didn't get overtake Massa and Vettel, and surely Kimi was not on podium.

Kimi - Best Driver
Ferrari - Best Team
Kimi on Lewis - Best Overtake
Realizing that Kimi doesn't stop 3 times like the others - Best Moment
Maldonado - Worst Driver
Williams - Worst team
Jules Bianchi - Best Rookie. Really good result for him, also with such little testing. Also really fast, 11th fastest lap of the race. I hope he goes to a good team next year like Ferrari.
Kimi wins the 1st race! - Biggest Surprise

Gave the race a 9. 8 because it was a good race + 1 because Kimi won.

[Ether]

1 - Best Driver - Alonso
2 - Best Team - Probably Lotus, but I will give Ferrari the credit for the best team!
3 - Best Overtake - Not that much overtake, I think Kimi to Hamilton? Which is quite ordinary though...
4 - Best Moment - Probably Sutil leading the race ! and holding Vettel, Alonso, Massa train..
5 - Worst Driver - Pastor!! geezz..
6 - Worst Team - Williams.. :-( what's wrong with this team? they started great last year, but now, they're very close to Marussia!
7 - Best Rookie - Jules Bianchi... nothing much to add, he proved himself deserved a better seat.. probably in Ferrari? or Force India should be likely.. But Sutil show a very good comeback performance too! So, just probably he need to show his performance before someone in the top teams want him, maybe after some years in midfield.
8 - Biggest Surprise - Red Bull pace! is that ordinary! pretty much underperformed if we compare them to Ferrari's.. and probably Lotus pace! which is so extraordinary fast, consistent, and low degradation on tires..

9 - General Comment(s)
Not a conclusive race to judge car's performance, here in Melbourne is a street circuit which doesn't really show the real pace of a car. But it's quite a good indicator (usually) to show which teams are fighting at the front, in the middle, and at the back. Marussia jumping Caterham, is definitely clear, meanwhile at the front is probably a little vague. Lotus seems strong with the consistent car, but probably just suit the condition or the track, Ferrari seems conclusive to be the only one fastest car so far, with Red Bull pretty much not far to Mercedes! Lotus is still unknown. The battle will be closer at the front, which is Ferrari probably the favorite to win both WDC and WCC..

1 - Best Driver - Räikkönen
2 - Best Team - Ferrari, but the team's focus on Alonso meant Massa was an afterthought
3 - Best Overtake - too many good overtakes to pick just one
4 - Best Moment - Realising the race was much more open than original feared, it wasn't going to be a Red Bull walkover
5 - Worst Driver - Maldonado
6 - Worst Team - McLaren
7 - Best Rookie - Bianchi
8 - Biggest Surprise - See point 4
