1 - Best Driver - Rosberg
2 - Best Team - Mercedes
3 - Best Overtake - Perez on Jense
4 - Best Moment - Chequered flag; glad it was finally over really...
5 - Worst Driver - Grosjean. He needs to up his game.
6 - Worst Team - Caterham/Ferrari
7 - Best Rookie - Giedo
8 - Biggest Surprise - How boring it was

9 - General Comment
Quite a dull race. No racing at all at the sharp end of the field, which explains why they all finished in the order they started in, apart from Lewis who was jumped in the pitstops, Kimi who had his Perez incident, and Alonso who had an off day for God-knows-why. Worst GP of the year so far, and worst Monaco GP for a long time as well. And I thought it couldn't get any worse than last year's race... 4/10

1 - Best Driver
Rosberg did everything he needed to do to win, but Sutil was absolutely phenomenal.

2 - Best Team
Mercedes. Force India also did well to get both cars in the points.

3 - Best Overtake
Perez on Button, with Sutil's overtake on Alonso in a close second.

4 - Best Moment
Mercedes winning their first race of the year. They're not my favourite team, but it's nice that four different teams have won already.

7 - Best Rookie
It seems they all made mistakes at some point this weekend, but I'll go with Van der Garde.

8 - Biggest Surprise
Alonso losing position after position in the race.

9 - General Comments
I'm a bit disappointed, as I thoroughly enjoyed last year's Monaco race. It was still quite entertaining, I'll give it an 8/10.

1 - Best Driver - Rosberg.
2 - Best Team - Mercedes. Hey, you really think that that tire test they got helped? Nope. Just remember last year's Monaco GP. Yep. Schumi had pole but got that penalty. The track also, doesn't eat tires that much. I bet that when they hit Canada, it's bye bye for Merc's in top 6 in GP...
3 - Best Overtake - Sutil on Alonso. Though Alonso clearly didn't wait that one.
4 - Best Moment - Dumpass Perez forced to retire by Button who was just overtaking that prick when he tried to get to the pits. Though he propably would have forced to retire even if he would have gotten to the pits anyways. That's nearly instant karma for ya' Sergio.
5 - Worst Driver - Grosjean. He destroyed his car what 4 times this weekend? Not good.
6 - Worst Team - Ferrari/Marussia
7 - Best Rookie - Bottas
8 - Biggest Surprise - Eh. Well. Hmmm. Alonso's day off. Maybe there was his brother driving instead?

9 - General Comment - Pretty boring, as Monaco allways. Still 7 out of 10 coz Kimi's last 2 laps. BTW: thanks Bottas.

1 - Best Driver - Rosberg
2 - Best Team - Mercedes. Shame for them Hamilton messed up slowing down behind the SC.
3 - Best Overtake - One of Sutil's at the hairpin.
4 - Best Moment - Perez overtaking Button after Button's earlier whinging.
5 - Worst Driver - Grosjean
6 - Worst Team - Was going to say Marussia, but they ended up ahead of Caterham with Chilton. Sauber and Williams were off the pace.
7 - Best Rookie - Bottas
8 - Biggest Surprise - Alonso's lack of pace.

1 - Best Driver- Rosberg clearly.
2 - Best Team- Redbull
3 - Best Overtake- Sutil Alonso/ Sutil Button
4 - Best Moment- Seeing Perez retire/Raikkonen score
5 - Worst Driver- Rogro
6 - Worst Team- Williams
7 - Best Rookie- None were best
8 - Biggest Surprise- Alonso just not fighting.

9 - General Comment.

c**p race as usual. Red Bull were clearly not trying this race. If Vettel could go 2 secs a lap faster, then he wouldve passed Rosberg with ease. They were purposely not racing today to try and exacerbate Mercedes cars 'improvement'

1 - Best Driver
Rosberg, honourable mention for Sutil.
2 - Best Team
Mercedes did pretty well in controlling the race. By the sounds of it, it was probably Hamilton's mistake that he lost two places to the Red Bulls, so the worst part of the day wasn't even fully their fault.
3 - Best Overtake
Perez on Button.
4 - Best Moment
It was kind of frustrating at the same time, but the safety car restart where everyone was bunched up for ever, it was quite fun and put me on edge, which is kind of what F1 should do to you when you watch it.
5 - Worst Driver
Perez. Yes, Grosjean made a massive mistake, but Perez got on everyone's tits, took it too far and ruined his and Raikkonen's race. Also, in no way should they have started penalizing people for avoiding crashes at the chicane. I swear they weren't doing that in previous years (unless people just went straight).
6 - Worst Team
Ferrari didn't have any pace, although Marussia hardly had a stunner of a race either.
7 - Best Rookie
I would give it to Bottas, but... No one.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Ferrari's poor pace. Alonso didn't fight an awful lot, but then fighting in any of the situations he found himself in would have ended up in the wall.

9 - General Comment
Kind of a poor race, especially if you think a race should have overtaking, but saved slightly as a spectacle by the sheer amount of incident (read as idiocy) in the midfield backwards. If only the front four had decided to have a race.

Monaco Grand Prix - 6/10, saved by the incidents.
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

Well, funny is not the word that comes to my mind when thinking about Massa's performance during the weekend...

Best Driver Rosberg ruled the whole weekend, he deserved it :)
Best Team Red Bull
Best Overtake Sutil on Alonso and Pérez on Button
Best Moment None?
Worst Driver Grosjean
Worst Team Ferrari
Best Rookie Van der Garde I guess, since Chilton screwed up majorly
Biggest Surprise Alonso's lack of motivation

General Comment I find it ridiculous that the engineers at Marussia have to tell Chilton to SLOW DOWN, since he is faster than Rosberg and Vettel at the front. And going so slow that their lap times matched those that were ran in rain on inters... No comment.

1 - Best Driver
Nico. Fastest in all three practices, pole and win. Controlled the race beautifully and didn't put a foot wrong despite red flags, SC:s and whatnot.

2 - Best Team
Would have liked to give it to Mercedes, but they sort of robbed Hamilton of a podium, so it goes to Red Bull.

3 - Best Overtake
Perez on Button - just because it pissed off princess Button so much (yes, I'm a mean person... :n )

4 - Best Moment
The red flag (well, at least then something unusual happened)

5 - Worst Driver
Grosjean. It seems he's learned nothing from the days he was Alonso's teammate at Renault in 2009 up until now. He still makes the same mistakes.

6 - Worst Team
Pirelli - or should I perhaps say the FIA. I'm sick and tired of Formula Manage Tyres but the blame isn't really on Pirelli, but on the FIA for asking Pirelli to make tyres emulating Canada 2010 to "spice up the show" Good lord. HELLO FIA! Canada 2010 was a thrilling race because no one had anticipated the tyre degradation. Now, everyone is aware and acts accordingly -> Formula save tyres. Didn't the FIA understand that would be the ultimate outcome? /end rant.

7 - Best Rookie
I think Gutierrez. He minded his own business and stayed out of troble the whole race.

8 - Biggest Surprise
Sadly I have to say Alonso's lack of fighting spirit. He gave a place away to Sutil by going wide and was asleep when Button overtook. Certainly not his normal self.

9 - General Comment
Thanks to the red flag (read: everyone got a free tyre change) we saw some fighting
even at the end. Without it - it would have been an even more processional race.
That said - anyone who gets off on overtakes only and rate race accordingly better go out pick flowers or take a trip to aunt Molly or something when Monaco race is on. Monaco will never provide a lot of overtakes, but on the other hand there was some brilliant defending driving - Kimi, Webber for example. One of the best moments was Hamilton trying to overtake Webber in first stint. He didn't succed - but it was brilliant driving from both of them. If you can't appreciate such moments in F1 - visit aunt Molly instead.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
