Best Driver Hamilton
Worst Driver None. To be honest I think Grosjean had not that awful race after all.
Best Team Mercedes
Best Overtake Vettel on Button in Turn 4, Hamilton on Webber in Turn 3, Romain on Massa in Turn 4 (just 5cm too wide :lol:

)
Best Moment Button holding the pack and Lewis pulling away
DRS + Tyres I think they are really good. Actually Monaco was the last horrible race tyre-wise, since then I have no major complaints.
And the race in a sentence... Finally I saw a chance to turn WDC/WCC battle around.

8/10 - Was good racing, especially considering Hungary is hard to overtake by default.

Best Driver: Lewis Hamilton
Worst Driver: none
Best Team: Lotus-Renault
Best Overtake: Hamilton on Webber, 3 wide with the lapped Sauber at turn 3
DRS + Tyres: cant complain, DRS doesn't work that well at the Hungaroring for some reason, so drivers had to find other ways to makes passes and they were able to. tires were fine.

7/10, really fun for a normal race, enjoyed it all the way through

Best Driver: Most of the top finishers had a pretty decent race. Hard to single one out. Hamilton obviously won, but that Button-train surely skewed the race in his favour.
Worst Driver: None really come to mind.
Best Team: Lotus.
Best Overtake: Hamilton on Webber was pretty cheeky. :lol:

Best Moment: None, really. Perhaps the FIA finally handing out a penalty for the common off-track excursions, even if they picked a pretty harmless case to start doing so.
DRS + Tyres: DRS is a joke, here as well as in other places. I don't like the amount of pitstops, but it seems the tyres were reasonable by Pirelli's standards.
And the race in a sentence: Fairly standard Hungarian GP. Nothing too exciting.

Best Driver Hamilton
Worst Driver van der Garde - the mobile road block
Best Team Mercedes
Best Overtake Hamilton on Button
Best Moment Button holding the pack and Lewis pulling away
DRS + Tyres DRS good - tires are hard to judge. It seems they could bring a completely altered balance of power between the teams.
And the race in a sentence... Lewis is the back in the WDC fight - finally F1 is worth watching again.

Best Driver: Hamilton or raikkonen I think, Hamilton edging it for the overtaking
Worst Driver: hard to say as we didn't seem to see a lot of the race today. Vettel kept getting ragged under pressure and vdg seemed to keep acting as a bit of a mobile chicane, but I'll give it to grosjean for the button brainfart
Best Team: Mercedes, with notable mentions to rbr and mclaren for some pretty good strategies
Best Overtake: hamilton's on webber
DRS + Tyres: tyres worked out quite well I think and kind of how we're told they're supposed to affect races. Drs as crap as usual
And the race in a sentence... A new false dawn

8/10 - Some feisty racing throughout the pack

5.

Best driver: Hamilton.
Worst driver: Massa.
Best team: Mercedes.
Best overtake: Grosjean on Massa.
Best moment: Totally biased: Räikkönen clearing Massa in a oportunistic fashion after the contact. Then I knew it was race on for him.
Tyres: OK.
DRS: Very hard to pass, but that´s better than drive by fest.

I gave it a 6.

Best Driver: Button
Worst Driver: The stewards
Best Team: Mercedes
Best Overtake: None, all because of DRS or new/old tyre difference.
Best Moment: Hamilton winning his first race at new team.
DRS + Tyres: DRS and the difference between old and new tryes made the overtakes artificial. I saw no real racing.
And the race in a sentence: very average, typical new era F1 race dominated by the gimmicks.

Best Driver - Hamilton
Worst Driver - van der Garde
Best Team - Lotus
Best Overtake - Grosjean on Massa
Best Moment - Button charging through the pack at the start and also Button holding up Vettel
DRS + Tyres - Fine today, the tyres didn't fall apart and these variables didn't play too much into the result

7.5/10
Furious with stewards though.

Best Driver - Hamilton by a margin. Kimi fluffed his quali, Vettel nearly fluffed his front wing. Hamilton wasn't "lucky", he made everything work for him.
Worst Driver - One of the Caterham drivers who was horrific with traffic. Everyone else was mentioning VDG, so I guess it's him.
Best Team - Lotus
Best Overtake - Hamilton on Webber in Turn 3 V2, Romain on Massa in Turn 4 was brilliant too.
Best Moment - When Hamilton said to his engineer he didn't care about the diff because the car already felt great. Proved what he is about, no nonsense just driving a racecar.
DRS + Tyres - Brilliant. DRS allowed moves to be capable, but rarely was the move itself, which is important. Tyres were very good, drivers could push and conserve simultaneously.
And the race in a sentence... - Pure unadulterated SPEED from the H.A.M!

I gave it an 8.

Best Driver - Hamilton/Raikkonen
Worst Driver - It was not terrible, but I was a little bit disappointed with Rosberg
Best Team - Lotus
Best Overtake - Hamilton vs Webber
Best Moment - Last few laps of Raikkonen and defending from Vettel
DRS + Tyres - It was good.

Gave it 6/10. It wasn't so excited race to me, but still good for Hungaroring.

Worst Driver Chilton, di Resta

Best Overtake Grosjean on Massa
Best Moment Maldonado scoring the first point of the year for Williams
Worst Moment Unfair drive through for Grosjean
DRS + Tyres DRS didn't make much difference here, tyres: Button drove half a race on mediums: I don't think they should have lasted so long

Best Driver - Hamilton. Honorable mentions to Raikkonen and Button
Worst Driver - Felipe Massa. Paul di Resta wasn't very convincing either
Best Team - Lotus/McLaren (not Mercedes because of Nico's blow up)
Best Overtake - Grosjean on Massa, Ham on Webber 2x wasn't too shabby either
Best Moment - Last few laps of Raikkonen defending from Vettel
DRS + Tyres - OK

9/10 - Some excellent racing on the Hungaroring, not just waiting for a DRS pass on the finish straight and even the championship is hotting up

I gave it a 9. GPs at Hungaroring don't get better or more exciting without freak events such as sudden retirements and/or SC interventions and/or mixed weather.

Todays race had multiple contenders on varrying strategies fighting hard for the win and podium spots. There was some overtaking and the tyres held enough to make defensive driving possible. DRS thankfully was not a free overtake ticket.

Hamilton and Raikkonen definitely stood out. Grosjean's move was so good the stewards just lost their minds.

Best Driver: Hamilton, very agressive when necessary
Worst Driver: Webber, unbelievable how easy Hamilton could pass him, twice at the same spot, while it would have been so easy to defend. Pace was good though.
Best team: I think RB got the most points today, but Lotus probably had the best pace.
Best overtake: Hamilton on Webber
Best Moment: the start

There's one guy is being proven very right at the minute - Mark Hughes and his assertion that Red Bull's entire design racing philosophy is based around getting pole, building a lead and holding it. Vettel was obviously fast enough to win but only had he secured pole. Losing out by 4 100ths effectively meant he ended up finishing 3rd to a guy who started 6th. Vettel's RB was one of the worst cars at racing in the pack this weekend. The Mercs, Renaults and Ferraris pulled off a string of overtakes on similar paced cars yet Seb couldn't get close to making a decent move on Raikkonen.

I can understand why we are racing at Singapore, but I do not understand why a slot is wasted on this race.

Best Team: Mercedes
Best Overtake: Grosjean on Massa (despite him receiving a penalty)
Best Moment: Hamilton pulling away as Button held up Vettel and the other contenders
DRS + Tyres: Not too bad. I would have liked a few more DRS passes though.

One of the more enjoyable races of the year and it was great to see Hamilton take his first win for Mercedes.

Best Drivers - Hamilton, Raikkonen, Button
Worst Driver - N/A
Best Team - In terms of WCC, Red Bull got 27 pts, Lotus 26 and Mercedes 25. For the most important WDC prize, Red Bull/Vettel just extended the lead to 38 pts from 34. Would have to give it to Red Bull then.

Best Overtake - Not the best, but most unexpected: Hamilton on Webber. Webber was sleeping there..
Best Moment - Button doing a fantastic job of the fastest car of the race behind for 12 laps.
DRS + Tyres - German spec tyres would have been the best, but this is okay as well. DRS as artificial as it will always be.
And the race in a sentence... Unusually exciting race at Hungaroring.

Gave it a 8/10.
