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.

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

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

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.

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?

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.

Best Driver - Vettel and Raikkonen
PS: Agree with Crossmax on the length of SC. That was RIDICULOUS. Whoever is controlling that are a bunch of losers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
