[Amin]

Best Driver - It could be any of the top 3. I'll give it to Raikkonen.

Worst Driver - I'm not sure, possibly Ricciardo.

Best Team - Red Bull.

Best Overtake - Raikkonen on Maldonado.

Best Moment - The last 10 laps.

DRS + Tires - They both seemed fine today.

 

A race of two halves, first 30 laps were pretty boring but the the SC saved it. 7/10.

[bourbon]

Best Driver - Vettel; Honorable mention to Kimi and Alonso

Worst Driver:  Ricciardo/DiResta win today

Best Team:  Red Bull

Best Overtake: Kimi on Button

Best Moment:  Vettel taking the lead back

DRS + Tyres: not really notable

And the race in a sentence...:  Great race, watching the lead cars was pure joy.  Thank you NBCSportsLiveExtra for the onboard and pitlane buttons online!

[dreamer]

Best Driver - Raikkonen 

Worst Driver - Ricciardo 

Best Team - Red Bull

Best Overtake - Kimi on Button

Best Moment - last 10 laps

DRS + Tyres - I don't like them

And the race in a sentence... It could be better 7/10

[P123]

Best Driver -  Kimi and Vettel

Worst Driver- Ricciardo (di Resta was having a very good race up until his mishap)

Best Team- Ferrari, good strategy call

Best Overtake- Kimi on JB

Best Moment- Probably the SC for adding some artificial interest

DRS + Tyres- Tyres a bit too much of the story

And the race in a sentence... Predictable

[JHSingo]

Ignore Vettel's dominance, and just watch the last 10 or so laps, and it improves it from a 1 to a 2.

 

Best Driver Sebastian Vettel

Worst Driver Daniel Ricciardo

Best Team Lotus

Best Overtake Raikkonen on Button

Best Moment The last few laps

DRS + Tyres Not much to say

And the race in a sentence... 51 laps of absolute tedium.

[weston]

7 - Not bad. Thanks to the well deployed safety car.

Best Driver - Vettel. Alonso and Raikkonen also mentioned.

Worst Driver - Ricciardo & DiResta.

Best Team - Red Bull.

Best Overtake - Raikkonen vs Maldonado (+Alonso's first mile on a lot of slow starters, Vettel on Rosberg etc.).

Best Moment - Safety car in.

DRS + Tires - OK

[caso]

Best Driver: Sebastian Vettel (honorable mention to Räikkönen, Grosjean and Alonso for his start)

 

Worst Driver: Daniel Ricciardo

 

Best Team: Red Bull

 

Best Overtake: Räikkönen on Button

 

And the race in a sentence: The view was great, race was soso 7/10

[Crossmax]

 Best Driver Seb Vettel
Worst Driver di Resta
Best Team RBR
Best Overtake Kimi on JB
Best Moment Kimi on JB
DRS + Tyres Whatever
And the race in a sentence... SC rules need to change, ridiculous having to wait for several laps for slow cars to repass the field just to be laped later on again.

[Nonesuch]

Rated the race 4/10. One of the more unexciting races of the year in which the other teams once again proved unequal to the task of bringing the fight to Red Bull.

 

Best Driver: Vettel. No doubt here, he was the best all weekend.

Worst Driver: Ricciardo, for sliding his car into a wall.

Best Team: Red Bull. Fantastic car, great pitstops.

Best Overtake: Probably Raikkonen on Button, but Alonso's start was great as well.

Best Moment: The moment I realised Ferrari and Alonso weren't stopping a third time.

DRS + Tyres: Not as bad as usual. Difference between the tyres seemed quite big, though.

And the race in a sentence: Why is this race 305 kilometers long, and why do we still have these prolonged safety car periods?

[scheivlak]

6/10 - result of 3,5/10 for the first part and 8.5/10 for the second.
 
Best Driver Vettel, but Kimi's and Alonso's performances were great as well.
Worst Driver Daniel Ricciardo, though I'm glad for what he did for the benefit of us all ;-)
Best Team Red Bull
Best Overtake Kimi on Jenson!
Best Moment Kimi on Jenson!
Worst moment Nico Hulkenberg having to give his place back to Perez.
Silliest moment MaRussian Time prolonging the SC period
DRS + Tyres not too bad.
And the race in a sentence... Glad that it lasted the full distance! Took really a lot of time to get alive but a great last few laps.

[SpaMaster]

Best Driver - Vettel and Raikkonen

Worst Driver ----

Best Team -  Red Bull

Best Overtake -  Raikkonen on Button

Best Moment - Raikkonen on Button that sealed his podium position, Vettel lighting it up with 2 s over everyone for 15 odd laps and come out ahead after pit stop, Alonso start

DRS + Tyres ----

And the race in a sentence... Unusually entertaining.

 

PS: Agree with Crossmax on the length of SC. That was RIDICULOUS. Whoever is controlling that are a bunch of losers.

[TomNokoe]

Best Driver Vettel

Worst Driver Di Resta

Best Team None stood out

Best Overtake Hamilton into the tunnel was pretty unique, Kimi on Maldonado was pretty risky

Best Moment Vettel after SC

DRS + Tyres Pretty good, DRS didn't complete any passes, but was also a little ineffective. Tyres were good, I liked the compound gap, but it seems the team didn't.

And the race in a sentence... It isn't the car

I gave it an 8 because of Vettel's class. We will look back on this race many times and it shows what Vettel is all about.

[Afterburner]

I'll give it an 8. This wasn't one you watched for a whole lot of wheel-to-wheel action--it never really is anyway--but Raikkonen on Button is pass of the year for me and made the race worth it.

 

Vettel was also fantastic to watch in the opening laps and post-restart; needed almost every bit of time he had pulled out just to stay ahead of Alonso, not that Alonso was going to mount a serious challenge anyway. Grand Slam, bravo.

[Atreiu]

It was a very dull race and I spent more time playing Diablo III than watching it right until the SC came out. From then on, Vettel's win remained a forgone conclusion, but the challenge the drivers put up for the podium and point scoring spots was intense and full of variables. Somehow, both through coincidence and competence, Alonso and Raikkonen met Vettel on the podium after delivering incredible drives, deservedly beating the Mercedes pair. At the same time, it seemed as if all drivers were intent on being as clean and fair as possible, which is a bonus for TV spectators like me.

 

So, all in all, I gave it an 8.

[Winter98]

Best Driver - Vettel.  Honourable menion KR and Grosjean

Worst Driver - Worst moment - Massa getting overtaken by Alonso before the first corner.  I really wanted to see what Massa would do if FA tried to pass him on the track.

Best Team - RBR

Best Overtake - KR on JB

Best Moment - (Not a moment, but...) SV trying to open up +30 sec gap

And the race in a sentence... - tons of excitement up and down the grid. 

 

Gave this race a 9.  I thought there was excitement up and down the grid, from KR's making the podium to SV trying to get a 30 sec gap.  FA's brilliant start, Grosjean flying,  Chilton even had a good race I thought.

[squall1981]

Best Driver = Vettel had the perfect race

Worst Driver = Ricardo

Best Team = Ferrari with their great strategy getting Alonso second

Best Overtake = Alonos overtaking 3-4 cars at the start

Best Moment = watching vettel brilliantly build lead after SC wiped his lead out

DRS + Tyres = tyres lasted and were safe, I still don't like DRS is it fake overtaking

And the race in a sentence... = great race as a Vettel fan, Kimi raced very well too

[Farhannn15]

Although Sebastian managed to build massive leads by going at ridiculous pace. The fighting in the end caused by strategies made the race pretty good

[seahawk]

2/10 - I do not care when the best drivers only race for second place as a dominating car is deciding the win

 

Best Driver Kimi

Worst Driver Dani

Best Team RBR

Best Overtake Kimi on Jenson

Best Moment deciding not to watch it live in the morning

DRS + Tyres ok

And the race in a sentence... : Happy to have been out enjoying the sun instead of watching the race

[deepsouth]

The first half was really dull I thought, so much so that I reluctantly moved away from the TV and only gave it some of my interest. Naturally, it was then that the race decided to get better, or so I'm told. I gave it a 4, but then I didn't pay much attention to the latter stages.

[Cyanide]

Best Driver: Raikkonen

Worst Driver: Paul di Resta - seriously, Sky Sports can now stop praising the guy (3 DNFS in a row)

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Moment: Fernando's Alonso start - brilliant

Best Overtake: Raikkonen on Button 

DRS + Tyres: Nothing special.

The Race: 5/10
