1 - Best Driver
Sebastian Vettel, simply flawless from start to finish

2 - Best Team - RedBull
Red Bull, for having the fastest car (as usual), and converting it to a 1-2 finish (not so usual)

3 - Best Overtake
Kamui Kobayashi on...... so many other drivers

4 - Best Moment
The start of the race - chaos everywhere

5 - Worst Driver
Felipe Massa, what on earth did he qualify in the midfield for, where he can get caught in the midfield incidents? (After all Alonso qualified fifth with that same car)

6 - Worst Team
Renault, did their cars ever 'race' today?

7 - Best Rookie
Kamui Kobayashi for his overtaking moves

8 - Biggest Surprise
Fernando Alonso finished only 2.7 seconds behind Sebastian Vettel? Or wait, should the decimal point be shifted a place to the right :)

9 - General Comment(s)
7 out of 10, a nice race with only the title contenders out in front with no outside interference

1 - Best Driver: Sebastian Vettel, dominating qualifying and the race.
2 - Best Team: Red Bull, scoring a one-two again.
3 - Best Overtake: Kamui Kobayashi on Jaime Alguersuari, touching two times in the hairpin.
4 - Best Moment: The first lap and Kamui Kobayashi's overtakings.
5 - Worst Driver: Lucas di Grassi, crashing while on his way to the starting grid, fail..
6 - Worst Team: Renault, retiring with both cars in the first few laps.
7 - Best Rookie: Kamui Kobayashi, don't think I have to give a comment on that. :)
8 - Biggest Surprise: Ferrari's speed in Japan. Felipe Massa qualifying 12th and crashing in the first corner, while Fernando Alonso finished 3rd on 2.7s behind Sebastian Vettel.

1 - Best Driver
I guess it has to be Vettel. No one was notable really, but Vettel won the race and you can't fault that.
2 - Best Team
Red Bull. Dominance.
3 - Best Overtake
Kowboy on Alguesuari. It was beautiful. He even managed to predict and resist Alguesuari's sloppy and frustrated attempt to pitch him into a spin.
4 - Best Moment
The start was fun. In fact there was plenty of incident. Just not all the way through.
5 - Worst Driver
Erm. I dunno. Maybe one of those who contracted brain-fade off the start grid? So Massa or Petrov.
6 - Worst Team
All the new teams seem to have taken a step backwards, or were not really suited to Suzuka. Their laptimes were appalling when you consider that they've been getting much closer recently.
7 - Best Rookie
Is Koboyashi a rookie? Cos he's sure my second favourite driver on the grid.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Problems AGAIN for Lewis. Two DNFs and a 5th out of three races. McLarens look a bit out of this drivers' title reckoning, words that will almost definitely come back to haunt me.

9 - General Comment(s)
It was alright. Enough happened incident-wise and there was some ok on-track action in the middle to lower reaches of the field. But... for some reason it just didn't really seem to have that much going for it. Maybe it was because I knew who finished in the first two places (although I couldn't tell which order by the picture I saw, although that soon became apparent).

Australian Grand Prix 9/10
Canadian Grand Prix 9/10
Chinese Grand Prix 9/10
Belgian Grand Prix 8/10
Singapore Grand Prix 8/10
Hungarian Grand Prix 8/10
Turkish Grand Prix 7/10
British Grand Prix 7/10
Monaco Grand Prix 7/10
Malaysian Grand Prix 7/10
Japanese Grand Prix 6/10 - I usually have to think a little objectively about how good the actual race (i.e. the RACE not the RESULT) was. Thisw one was as meh as the result. But consistenly ok. So a 6.
European Grand Prix 6/10
Italian Grand Prix 5/10
Spanish Grand Prix 5/10
Bahrain Grand Prix 5/10
German Grand Prix 4/10
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.
