Best driver: Bianchi / Ricciardo

Worst driver: Chilton. For ruining Kimi race.

Best Team: Mercedes, unfortunately.

Best overtake®: Sutil, bullying his way throug in the hairpin, twice.

Best moment: Realising Bianchi wouldn't have to serve a stop&go, just got added 5 sec to his time. And Massa having to pit under green.

DRS: Good, because this travesty for once really didnt matter.

Tyres: To hard. They shuld have super soft and ultra soft, barely making a three-stop strategy. 

 

Not a great race per se, but for Monaco is was very good, despite the Mercs walking it. 8/10. 

 

Perhaps Monaco should look to RallyCross and introduce a joker lap? Like having to drive by the Casino-entrance (taking right in the roundabout at Casino Square) five times during the race?

When Hamilton is involved in intense battle (and I believe he was this Grand Prix) my brain tends to skip majority of other events   So I will refrain from voting, have absolutely no idea whether it was boring or not. I know I was enjoying it.

Saw the summary on Belgian TV tonight and rated it 3/10; tiresome, even in the 30 minutes highlights version.

 

Best Driver: Lewis Hamilton, the way he shadowed Rosberg for almost the entire race was impressive.
Worst Driver: Max Chilton, for running into one of the leading cars during a safety car situation.
Best Team: Mercedes, still in a class of its own.
Best Overtake: Sutil, for (successfully) sneaking up on the inside into the hairpin.

Best Moment: Marussia finally take home some points.
DRS + Tyres: DRS seemed useless - which is good, and the tyres seemed to hold out - though I couldn't really tell from the version of the race I saw.

The race in a sentence: Dumb crashes, safety cars, Monaco.

Either a subtle joke ( ) or It's clear you just saw a highlights version!

[Frank Tuesday]

Driver: Ricciardo

Worst: Chilton

Team: Merc

Overtake: Hulk on Mag

Moment:  Hamilton calmly stating he isn't concerned about the gap to Ricciardo.

DRS: DRS is fundamentally wrong and shouldn't be used in something that bills itself as a sport.  Tyres are round.

3 words: Safety Car farce.

7, good for a Monaco GP.

Best driver has to be Rosberg or Hulkenberg.

Best moment, a pass in Portier that I can't remember who pulled.

[PayasYouRace]

I'd like to change my best moment. It was when Vettel was about to go off on one at this team via the radio and then decided against it.

That moment demonstrated his prediciment / bad luck / start to the season perfectly.

 

I think he did well to hold back (publicly) given how incredibly frustrated he must be right now

That was Hulkenberg on Magnussen!

Please rate the race objectively and not on your favourite drivers result 
 
Best Driver Rosberg (mistake on his 2nd run in qualifying but other than that error free weekend despite constant pressure from Hamilton - safety car helped by removing  someone rolling the dice through strategy but he bought it home) and Hulkenberg another great race despite being out-qualified by his team mate, made up fort that on the first lap by passing him and then secured 5th with a great overtake on Magnussen and somehow making the supersoft tyres last to the end of the race.
Worst Driver There were a few that made some silly errors but Chilton stands out - to hit one of the front runners whilst unlapping yourself is pretty unforgivable and was miles away from his team-mate.
Best Team Mercedes (easily)
Best Overtake Hulkenberg on Magnussen (but Sutil made some nice moves before he threw it in the wall)
Best Moment Marussia scoring their first points  
DRS + Tyres  a non-story this week (how it should be)

And the race in a sentence... For Monaco it was pretty good.  A pity about the safety car as it could have allowed some action around the pit-stops but a fun race with a bit of everything - some great driving, a few clever overtakes, some stupid mistakes and add in a mix of good fortune for some and bad luck for others.
