7 - Good race overall, a lot of good drives. Perez proved that he can be aggressive and fight for positions when he wants.

1 - Best Driver
I won't vote for Vettel even he claim his win, because it was too easy for him.. no enemy nearby as Alonso has DRS wing trouble back then. I think I'll vote for Hamilton for his recovery to 5th place. And Di Resta did a pretty good job too... considering what Sutil achieved yesterday. But FI surely show much more promise than Mercedes, their pace quite strong and consistent compared to Mercedes long run pace.

2 - Best Team
Lotus for today, they made 2 drivers in podium, both have the capable car behind them. It's a team credits... Good for them, this could be interesting, the race could be RB vs Lotus?

3 - Best Overtake
Wow, quite plenty overtake there, even without the assist of DRS (well, sure DRS help them getting close to the opponent in front of them). It's a great show to watch..
I think probably is battle between Perez and Button, pretty jaw-dropping on what they did! But since no one got passed each other at the end, so it's not a overtake? Okay then I'd say Vettel on Alonso at early stage.. It was unexpected! Great job by Seb.. But all he did was only that for 57 laps (wow), he must be bored at front...

4 - Best Moment
Hamilton claiming 5th place back after Webber fought back.. It showed that Mercedes kept the harder tyres quite well in Hamilton's car.. Rosberg was awful in the whole race! That car was only setup for Quali..

5 - Worst Driver
Hmmm.. since nobody show bad job, I think Webber found a very dissapointing race yet again... So this time I'll vote Webber.

6 - Worst Team
Mercedes? hmmm.. no, they haul quite decent points. This time, could probably Ferrari! They score so little points this time, pretty disappointing after a very satisfying quali in 3rd and 4th.. After Alonso got trouble in his DRS wing, Massa did nothing special as well. So Ferrari need to hold their chin up again, and looking forward to the next race.

7 - Best Rookie
Bianchi? well, he showed his pace. Is pic considered a rookie? Lol.. if he doesn't, that Bianchi again.. (no Rookie has shown considerable pretty good pace to Bianchi. I think if Bianchi is put together with Pic, that would be something to watch!

8 - Biggest Surprise
Lotus hidden pace! They know how to setup the car best, even Qualifying was terrible, but they seem to know what they do, and their competitor didn't seem to concerned by Lotus, but somehow they're on top.

9 - General Comment(s)
Pretty good race to watch! Plenty overtake, and plenty of drama too.. Many people not expecting what will happen, as so many vote here for Alonso win! but he didn't... once again my prediction is WRONG :-D
The race is quite plentiful of events, but it's not so amazing because Vettel lead the way too far at the front... so 9 is enough.. not 10 :)

1 - Best Driver - No doubt ... Vettel ... He made the early pass and vanished into a distance.
2 - Best Team - Lotus, made no mistakes and made sure both their drivers ended up on podium.
3 - Best Overtake - I think there were way too many overtakes today ... i can't choose between Vettel on Alonso, Lewis on Webber, Perez on Alonso etc ...
4 - Best Moment - Jenson crying over the radio to Martin !! Please save me from Perez.
5 - Worst Driver - Rosberg ... There is no way you can get lost in the race like this ... Started on pole and finished way down the order.
6 - Worst Team - Mclaren ... Cmon use team orders :lol: (Martin to Jenson = "Jenson ... Sergio is faster than you. Do you copy ??", Jenson to Martin - "Calm Sergio down !!")
7 - Best Rookie - None to pick for today's race
8 - Biggest Surprise - Sergio finishing on P6.

9 - General Comment(s) - Overall it was a very dramatic race. Over the past few years, Bahrain gp turned out to be a bore-fest, but today they proved it wrong and watched as awesome race. Except for Vettel, everyone else were fighting all through the race.

Great race! It's such a shame that Alonso had that DRS-problem. Could've been a good fight between him and Vettel.

1 - Best Driver - Perez
2 - Best Team - Lotus
3 - Best Overtake - Vettel on Alonso was great. Notables for Perez and Alonso too
4 - Best Moment - seeing Alonso clawing back such a deficit, Perez owning Button
5 - Worst Driver - Van der Garde
6 - Worst Team - Don't really think there was one
7 - Best Rookie - I'll say Max Chilton. REALLY upped his game and was quite comparable to Bianchi. Pic was great aswell, finishing ahead of Esteban.
8 - Biggest Surprise - DRS failure of Alonso robbing us of a great fight for the race win. Instead it was a boring race. Saying something when the race for 5th is the most riveting!
