4 - Best Moment: Kubica on top of the Toyota, and still carrying on the race.
5 - Worst Driver: Piquet!
6 - Worst Team: Ferrari!
7 - Biggest Surprise: RBR 1 2!
8 - General Comment:
-to Buemi, who confirmed the promising start of the season, so different from the looks of Piquet and Nakajima...
-Mclarens problems where much discused in pre-season, but other 2 "big" teams are also in big trouble. The ddd just doesn't justifies those 3 teams underperformance, i mean, just look at RBR: no ddd, no kers, but still great performances. At least many would like to see LHam driving a slow car in his career, there you go.
- Good for F1 if Toyota can fight back with wins.

[MP4/4#12]

1- Best driver: Vettel and Buemi (only 3rd race for the guy - impressive)
2- Best Team: Red Bull
3- Best overtake: Webber / Button
4- Best moment: Hamilton`s control on his 1st spin
5- Worst driver: Hmmm, Piquet, Piquet and Piquet
6- Worst Team: Ferrari
7- Biggest surprise: Trulli / Kimi and Alonso`s lack of pace
8- General Comment: Hamilton must be suffering a lot with the current situation, i think his mistakes are the proof of that. Vettel showed how good he is on wet...again, great performance from Webber only months after his terrible incident. Another nice race from 2009.

[Suntrek]

1 - Best Driver
Buemi. I sure can't give it to Vettel, since being out in front in rain is the easiest position to be in F1. (not Vettel's fault though, and he did a good job regardless)

Second Mark W who had a nasty fight with the omnipotent Brawn of Button and still came out on top.

2 - Best Team
Red Bull. Any objections?

3 - Best Overtake
No idea, there were lots and none was especially brilliant. The Webber/Button fight was fun to watch, though.

4 - Best Moment
N/A. The race was boring.

5 - Worst Driver
Nelson Piquet, who else? The honour might be shared with Bourdais, they both were...hmmm...not so good...

6 - Worst Team
Renault for being total shitheads when it came to Alonso strategy.

7 - Biggest Surprise
Renault losing their minds.

8 - General Comment
Boring race, if you don't like drivers going off track repetedly...
