1 - Best Driver
Vettel did everything he needed to do, but it's probably Button

2 - Best Team
Red Bull, no question

3 - Best Overtake
Webber on Alonso at Eau Rouge was simply stunning

4 - Best Moment
The opening stint up to when the safety car came out, some mega racing

5 - Worst Driver
Quite a few had a shocker - Senna for messing up the start, Glock for steaming into di Resta, Perez for hitting Buemi, Hamilton for ruining his own race

6 - Worst Team
Probably HRT or Renault

7 - Best Rookie
None of them excelled. Don't wanna say Maldonado because his conduct yesterday was unacceptable and yes he got a point, but its not a real point when its 10th

8 - Biggest Surprise
Straight line speed of the Mercedes & Rosberg leading at the start

1 - Best Driver
hard to choose between Vettel, Schumacher and Button. But Schumacher's performance from P24 to P5 was the best imo

2 - Best Team
Red Bull

3 - Best Overtake
Webber on Alonso

4 - Best Moment
the first laps

5 - Worst Driver
probably Senna

6 - Worst Team
Renault

7 - Best Rookie
Maldonado

8 - Biggest Surprise
the crash between Hamilton and Kobayashi. Hamilton had the rear wing open and Kobayashi was still faster on the straight. How could that happen?

9 - General Comment(s)
9/10 - great race again although DRS was to effective. Vettel with an enormous lead now in the championship

awesome phill god bless you

1 - Best Driver: both Button and Schumacher
2 - Best Team: again, it's Red Bull
3 - Best Overtake: We had a lot of overtakes during this race, don't remember which one was the best. I would say Webber on Alonso. Not the one at the end. Just after Alonso's first stop, Webber pass him at Eau Rouge
4 - Best Moment: Rosberg pass Vettel for the first place!!!
5 - Worst Driver: Senna
6 - Worst Team: Ferrari
7 - Best Rookie: Unable to say, honestly
8 - Biggest Surprise: Hamilton crash...
9 - General Comment: Great race, I love Spa-Francorchamps, definitely the best F1 circuit. A lot of overtakings, few ones with high-risk. Great race by Button and Schumacher, disappointing race for Ferrari...
This is a shame that Belgium GP could alternate with French GP in 2013.

1 - Best Driver
I imagine that this will be the last time I will say this (and maybe this is the first) but Schumacher. Excellent result, great battling.
2 - Best Team
Red Bull, with a couple of great tactical shouts.
3 - Best Overtake
Alonso on Massa - unconventional, fair, ruthless.
4 - Best Moment
Rosberg's leading cameo.
5 - Worst Driver
I'd hate to judge on one corner, but I can only really thnk of Senna. He did take out Alguersuari with a ridiculous late breaking move. Race-rust?
6 - Worst Team
For team result, STR.
7 - Best Rookie
You've got to hand it to Maldonado, he got a result.
8 - Biggest Surprise
Ferrari's terrible pace on the harder tyre.

9 - General Comment
I don't think Koboyashi was really at fault for Hamilton's retirement. That is the definition of a racing incident. Also, I would have liked to have seen what would have happened if there was no safety car, because it looks to me like that's what won Vettel the race.

8/10 - it was pretty good.

7 - Best Rookie: Maldonado
8 - Biggest Surprise: no rain,Rosberg passing Vettel for leading after start

Best driver: Vettel, probably with this win he secured his second world title.

Best team: Red Bull, they were not the favorites yet they managed to be on the first two positions.

Best overtake: There were many overtakes on the long straight, I give my vote to Button's on Massa on the last chicane before the start-finish line.

Best moment: Rosberg's start of the race.

Worst driver: Hamilton, he blew his chances of a podium finish or even the win all by himself.

Worst team: HRT

Best rookie: It would be Maldonado if it wasn't that incident on Saturday.

Biggest surprise: Mercedes' performance, especially on the straights.

General comments: Not the most classic Spa race ever but still it kept its usual high standards.
