    Best Driver: Hamilton followed by Alonso

    Best Team: Red Bull (their strategy for Vettel is incredible)

    Best Overtake: Probably Vettel on Button but he also had the worst overtake on Grosjean with 4 wheels out

    Special Mention to: Robserg and Karthikeya for making it out safely

  • Profile picture of Bullfrog Bullfrog said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

    Best Driver: Vettel
    Worst Driver: Webber – lousy start and too many attempts to pass round the outside and squeeze other drivers. Partly the track design’s fault, but Vettel showed how it’s done.
    Best Team: Lotus
    Worst Team: HRT, I guess.
    Best Overtake: Vettel, Grosjean and Pic
    Best Funny- moment: Leave me alone, I know what I’m doing
    Most Surprising Result: Vettel 3rd
    Least Surprising Result: Schumacher 11th. The Ralf-like drift towards retirement continues. I hope he can go out on a high in Brazil.
    Special Mention to: Williams
    Race Rating: 8/10

    Best BBC/Sky commentator/presenter: Coulthard
    Worst BBC/Sky commentator/ presenter: Ben Edwards – a bit Murray Walker-like today, in a bad way: missed things and shouted about issues that had already been resolved.
    World feed rating: 7/10 Showed lots of Vettel action, which was good. A bit trigger-happy with the replays though, sometimes too many, and others got cut off before the important moment.

    Best Driver: Hamilton
    Worst Driver: Webber
    Best Team: Red Bull, too bad they had the worst driver.
    Worst Team: Williams, why did they leave Maldonado out for so long? He could’ve been on the podium, but now he lucked into 5th.
    Best Overtake: Vettel on Button, on the outside with the championship on the line.
    Best Funny- moment: tyre blanket stuck on the HRT.
    Most Surprising Result: Raikkonen
    Least Surprising Result: Button
    Special Mention to: Raikkonen, Vettel and Alonso
    Race Rating: 10/10

    Best Commentary moment: Cant remember one that stands out

    Best Driver: Raikkonen – Qualified well in a car that has struggled on Saturdays, putting him in a good position in the race. He also took full advantage of Hamilton’s retirement and held off Alonso to win.
    Worst Driver: Webber – Good qualifying performance but a very messy race that left him behind his teammate who had started from the pits. Retired after a collision with Grosjean, neither at fault however.
    Best Team: None had solid weekends to be honest, Williams has a better car than they have done for a while but a poor strategy hindered Maldonado. Red Bull were very quick but Vettel had a lot of work to do in the race.
    Worst Team: HRT – Silly mistake with De La Rosa at the start and a steering failure for Karthikeyan in the race.
    Best Overtake: Alonso on Webber – What is it about these two and good overtakes?
    Best Funny- moment: Raikkonen’s “Leave me alone”.
    Most Surprising Result: Raikkonen winning – The Lotus hasn’t looked all that strong as of late, but Kimi really drove its wheels off this weekend.
    Least Surprising Result: Alonso fighting his way to the podium.
    Special Mention to: Hamilton for a great performance all weekend and Vettel for a solid recovery.
    Race Rating: 9/10

    Best Driver: Lewis Hamilton – Had the race totally under control, then got let down by the car while leading, again.
    Worst Driver: Mark Webber – Very clumsy race, lucky not to get a penalty.
    Best Team: No idea really, none stood out.
    Worst Team: HRT.
    Best Overtake: They were all AMAZING! Overtakes… at Yas Marina, who’d have thought?!
    Best Funny- moment: Kimi’s radio and podium interview.
    Most Surprising Result: Raikkonen winning to be perfectly honest.
    Least Surprising Result: Alonso on the podium
    Special Mention to: Vettel, Crashtor, Senna, Vergne, Perez, Kobayashi, Kovalainen, Alonso
    Race Rating: 9/10

    Best Driver: Raikkonen
    Worst Driver: Perez. I think he’s grown a pair that he didn’t need after signing with McLaren.
    Best Team: Ferrari
    Worst Team: HRT
    Best Overtake: Alonso on Webber
    Best Funny- moment: “Yes yes yes yes.”
    Most Surprising Result: Raikkonen winning. I think no one really expected it.
    Least Surprising Result: Alonso. He always pushes his car to the limit.

    Race Rating: 10/10, I was glued to the tv the whole time.
