[michal2009b]

Best Driver - Alonso
Worst Driver - Gutierrez
Best Team - ****ing Bulls
Best Overtake - Alonso on Webber
Best Moment - as mentioned above
DRS + Tyres - DRS ok, tyres terrible
And the race in a sentence... - race to forget, like all races since introducing new Pirellis

[nosecone]

best driver: Hulkenberg

Worst driver: i know he's young and unexperienced but Gutierez

Best Team: RB

Best Overtake: Those none DRSed towards the second chicane (like Hamilton did)

Best Moment: As the flag drops...

DRS Tyres: DRS ok because they were already in the limiter when they could activate DRS. Tyres 2 stops are ok

And the race in a sentence: As in every other sport it is boring if one team/driver dominates, but this means they made the best job.

[Zoetrope]

Best Driver Vettel and Hulkenberg
Worst Driver -
Best Team RBR - fastest, Sauber and TR - genuinely faster than McLaren and Force India, good job
Best Overtake Alonso on Webber
Best Moment Hamilton charging with no radio nor tyres limitations, just driving his nuts off
DRS + Tyres Both very good.
And the race in a sentence... Another disappointment with the rain. For a second thought Alonso can surpise us, but naaah.

6/10

[Thomas99]

Best Driver: Alonso
Worst Driver: Gutierez
Best Team Red Bull
Best Overtake: Alonso on Webber
Best Moment: The moment of hope Vettel's gearbox might break
DRS + Tyres
And the race in a sentence... boring

[Nonesuch]

I rated it 7/10, because unlike with some other races this year, I kept watching throughout.

 

Best Driver: Vettel. He was the best all weekend.
Worst Driver: Hard to say. Perez looked clownish at the start, but I haven't seen many replays so I'll reserve judgement.
Best Team: Red Bull. Excellent pitstops, both cars in at the same time - that probably spooked Ferrari. Performance as excellent as ever... makes one wonder what they are doing (wrong) at the other factories.
Best Overtake: Raikkonen snatching positions at the entry into Parabolica.
Best Moment: Alonso taking 2nd from Webber.
DRS + Tyres: Good! The low-downforce package probably played a role in making the DRS much less effective than it is on other tracks, which is excellent as DRS is a silly gimmick. The tyres seemed strong enough for a one stop race. There was obviously some degradation as evidenced by the out-of-sync Hamilton and Raikkonen, but it wasn't as horrible as we've seen earlier in the season.
And the race in a sentence: Decent high-speed scraps behind the leaders.

Best Overtake Hamilton on Kimi
Best Moment  Vettel wins!!  Yabadabadoooooooooooooooooo!

Worst moment  Kimi in the pits after the mishap at the start.

DRS + Tyres  Not really a factor

Best Driver -  kimi raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton
Worst Driver - sergio perez
Best Team - Red Bull racing
Best Overtake -  Alonso on Webber, kimi on the outside of parabolica
Best Moment - mayhem at the start of the race

[olliek88]

10/10 These fantastic Bridgestone style races are back!   /Sarcasm.

 

Best Driver - Hulkenberg
Worst Driver - Di Resta

Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - Alonso around the outside of Webber
Best Moment - As above. 
DRS + Tyres - Understandably conservative choice from Pirelli but perhaps a step too hard.
And the race in a sentence... NASCAR style, nothing, nothing, nothing, some more nothing and then everyone wakes up for the last few laps.

[dreamer]

Best Driver - Hulkenberg (best result), Vettel(win), Raikkonen and Hamilton (great overtaking) 
Worst Driver - 
Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - Kimi on Sutil and the Hamilton vs Raikkonen 
Best Moment - Hamilton vs Raikkonen
DRS + Tyres - Never liked DRS... Tyres were ok
And the race in a sentence...  A bit boring.... 6/10

[Spillage]

7 from me. Plenty of intrigue, and battles going on further down the field. Plus the drivers I like did well 

 

Best Driver(s): Hulk and Vettel superb. Also very strong race from Ricciardo, keeping Rosberg at bay.

Worst Driver: No real stinkers. Felt Kimi was to blame for the first corner incident, but he recovered pretty well. Struck by how far Webber was back from Vettel, not for the first time this year, but Vettel drove very well. So it probably has to be Di Resta.

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Really liked Alonso on Webber. Absolute quality.

Best moment: Hamilton - Raikkonen battle was great stuff, their charge for points lit up the final few laps.

DRS + Tyres: I am afraid this is what happens when Pirelli bring durable tyres. People cannot complain about cheese tyres when they degrade, and then complain about boring races when they don't. You have to have one or the other. Happily, I enjoy both types of racing; 'cheese' tyres make more action-packed races, but durable ones provide a more 'real' result.

And the race in a sentence: Good racing further down the field with a lack of spark at the front. High quality driving abundant.

[kimister]

It was a poor race 

 

Best drivers: Hamilton,Raikkonen and Hulkenberg 

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Kimi on Sutil and Alonso on Webber

Best Moment: There is no specific but Kimi vs Lewis was great

DRS + Tyres: Normal for this race, but without DRS we can still watch more spectacular overtakes

And the race in a sentence: Not so excited, forgettable in a few days

[Cyanide]

Best Driver: Hulkenberg/Alonso
Worst Driver: Gutierrez
Best Team: Red Bull
Best Overtake: Alonso on Webber
Best Moment: Hamilton vs Raikkonen
DRS + Tyres: Meh.
Race in a sentence: Title deciding. And boring. Vettel now has it in the bag.

5/10

[HoldenRT]

Just like Spa, dull but could have been worse.

Race: 7/10. Your pretty average Monza race.

 

And I must have missed something, but I saw nothing that would make Alonso  the best driver of the weekend. Massa had a better qualifying, a better start, and should have deservedly been 2nd if he didn't move out of Alonso's way. The only driver Alonso overtook by merit was Webber.

Best Driver - Hamilton
Worst Driver -
Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - Alonso on Webber
Best Moment - the Raikkonen/Hamilton battle
DRS + Tyres - it is what is ... no point in commenting
And the race in a sentence... Enough good moments to hold my interest throughout.

[Atreiu]

I gave it a 7. Vettel was always in controle, but there was excitement enough in watching Kimi and Hamilton recover and the guys not fighting for the podium sorth themselves.

[Amin]

Best Driver Hulkenberg
Worst Driver Gutierrez
Best Team Red Bull
Best Overtake Raikkonen on the outside of Sutil at Parabolica
Best Moment Raikkonen and Hamilton passing through the midfield in the last few laps.
DRS + Tyres All seemed fine today.
And the race in a sentence... A little bit better than Spa in every aspect.

[Mr2s]

Best Driver  Alonso
Worst Driver  di Resta
Best Team  Red Bull
Best Overtake Alonso on Webber
Best Moment  Alonso ringing the Ferrari's neck
DRS + Tyres  No controversy 
And the race in a sentence...   A good chance to have a nap in the middle

[P123]

Best Driver Vettel/ Hulk

Worst Driver di Resta (for wiping himself out of the race on the first lap- uncharacteristic error)

Best Team Red Bull

Best Overtake Alonso/ Webber and Hamilton/ Raikkonen had good battles

Best Moment Were there any moments?

DRS/ Tyres DRS just about right, tyres held up well allowing drivers to push

And the race in a sentence Follow the car in front....

[Lucass]

Best Driver Vettel always in control, Alonso got everything out of the Ferrari, Hulkenberg wow in that Sauber
Worst Driver  Guitierez and di Resta wasn't very good either this weekend
Best Team  Red Bull by a mile
Best Overtake  Alonso on Webber
Best Moment  There was not really a moment that stood out for me, maybe Vettel smiling about the saddos booing him
DRS + Tyres  DRS fine, tyres could have been a tad softer
And the race in a sentence...  typical Monza race nothing special

 

7/10

[Ricardo F1]

Garbage, I've no idea why they still try and race here when it's mostly pointless.

[Skinnyguy]

5.

 

Lacked a serious fight for the win, but the rest was OK.

[Anderis]

For me it was 4/10. I'm not a big Monza fan and this race definetely didn't change my mind.

 

Best Driver: Hulkenberg
Worst Driver: di Resta
Best Team: RBR
Best Overtake: Hamilton on Hulkenberg
Best Moment:1st corner and all the top cars running really close there.
DRS + Tyres: Not enough degradation, therefore not enough variety in terms of strategies.
And the race in a sentence... procession (so many cars running so close to each other and nothing happened for a number of laps)

[Kobasmashi]

I gave a 5, the lack of action at the front end was no different to Spa, but today's race lacked some of Spa's midfield battles

Best Driver: Hülkenberg and Vettel
Worst Driver: Di Resta, what a mess
Best Team: Red Bull, pretty perfect
Best Overtake: Alonso on Webber through the second chicane, that was brilliant
Best Moment: Alonso passing Webber, although Hamilton screaming along on a punctured tyre with no idea made me chuckle ironically.
DRS + Tyres: The DRS was just right!
And the race in a sentence... It would take a miracle for anyone to beat Vettel now.

[SpaMaster]

Best Drivers - Raikkonen, Hamilton (Raikkonen lighting it up after forced to pit by yet another Perez brain-fade and progressing to P5 when everybody had pitted one time, Hamilton being forced to pit early becaue of slow puncture and then lighting it up in the end)
Worst Driver - N/A
Best Team -  Red Bull
Best Overtake - Raikkonen on Sutil
Best Moments - Raikkonen charge in the beginning, Hamilton charge in the end
DRS + Tyres - Tyres were too conservative for this race
And the race in a sentence... Okay so and so, given that it is Monza.

Edited by SpaMaster, 08 September 2013 - 17:29.

[djparky]

another mind numbing race- gave up after 10 laps- only mechanical issues are going to stop Vettel winning this and every remaining race this year. What a bore- I hope all those who wanted harder tyres are now happy- at least GP2 and GP3 are worth watching

[ANF]

8/10

The race in a long sentence: Good fight for P2, exciting punctures for RAI + HAM, some memorable overtaking, great race by HUL holding off ROS the entire race, and not that many pit stops.

[JHSingo]

5/10

 

Best Driver Hulkenberg
Worst Driver di Resta
Best Team Red Bull
Best Overtake Alonso on Webber
Best Moment The podium - probably one of the best scenes in all of motor racing.
DRS + Tyres Didn't really add too much.
And the race in a sentence... Not that exciting.

 

I find it a bit concerning the last two races (on two classic tracks) have been pretty dull. Doesn't give me much hope for the rest of the year for the Tilke-dromes. I'm actually quite glad the BBC are only showing highlights for Singapore.

[bub]

Best Driver - Hulkenberg
Worst Driver - Gutierrez
Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - Hamilton on Sutil 
Best Moment - Hamiltons fight back
DRS + Tyres - Fine
And the race in a sentence... Good at the beginning and end. Dull in the middle.

[Romulan]

Best Driver(s) Vettel/Alonso/Webber

Best Team Red Bull

Best Overtake Alonso/Webber

DRS + Tyres As usual, DRS and tires affect everyone equally.

And the race in a sentence... 

 

Maybe I'm easy to please, but I get excited about every race on the calendar.  The ability to describe any race in "a sentence" falls well outside of my skill sets.

[Winter98]

Best Driver - Hulkenburg
Best Team - RBR
Best Overtake - Alonso on Webber
Best Moment - Hulk 5th
And the race in a sentence... Meh

[William Hunt]

Two people mentioned Gutiérrez as worst driver, that is very unfair. In fact he drove a very good race, he just had the bad luck that his much more experienced teammate drove an exceptional race. The place where Hülkenberg started and finished is well above to where that car belongs. 

 

Gutiérrez finished just 2 seconds behind 10th place (the final points position) and ahead of both Williams drivers. You can't really expect much more from a young rookie in what is a very uncompetitive car. How can he be the worst driver if he beat the 2 Williams drivers, who are in a car of similar speed? Surely that means that Bottas and Maldonado did a worse job as Gutiérrez today?

But like most GPs these days Mark was driving to a lap time. As was Alonso, and his at the time was faster. Maybe F1 should become a Supersprint where the drivers at least try to race the clock, not just drive too it or the tyres fail.

[scheivlak]

7/10

 

Best Driver NIco Hulkenberg and Sebastian Vettel - both superb.
Worst Driver Paul di Resta I guess
Best Team RBR
Best Overtake Alonso on Webber and certainly Raikkonen on Sutil - on the outside of the Parabolica!
Best Moment Hamilton and Raikkonen charging through the field - there were some good examples of hard but fair racing and overtaking 
DRS + Tyres 2nd DRS zone didn't make much sense. Difference between tyre compounds could have been a bit wider.
And the race in a sentence... Vettel dominating but some nice midfield action - partly as a result of Mercedes and Lotus shooting themselves in the foot during Q

I wouldn't call the Sauber "a very uncompetitive car" in view of the Hulke's performance.

That said, Gutierrez' performance is way better than that of e.g. Sergio Perez, who finished barely a second in front of him and was driving rather erraticly at times.

 

Gutierrez had a decent race and made e.g. a pretty smart opportunistic pass on Maldonado. It's just that Nico Hulkenberg really shone yesterday.
