Worst driver: Latifi - Embarrassing to be so comprehensively outperformed by your sub in teammate.
Best team: Red Bull I suppose.
Worst team: FIA - From the disaster of the F3 title decider, dishing out the wrong penalty in F2, unable to make heads of tails of the order from F1 qualifying, to then taking a lap to decide Ricciardo’s car did indeed need a safety car, and rather than release Russell and those still a lap down at once, they hold them altogether until they run out of laps to do anything. They dither and fail to make immediate decisions when it’s necessary to do so costing time and laps and making it all the more problematic. The governing body is horrendously incompetent right now, is astonishing how bad it has become over the years.
Best overtake: Hamilton on Norris and Gasly, nice double overtake.
Worst overtake: I think it was Schumacher and Latifi who was all locked up but I don’t really remember it that well.
Best moment: The opening 10 laps or so when there was some good battling going on.
Worst moment: The FIA failing to make any decisions in good time.
And the race in a sentence: 5/10 - An okay race spoiled by the ineptitude of the governing body.

Worst driver - Latifi, what a total embarrassment.
Best team - Red Bull, they’re just walking on water at the moment.
Worst team - FIA Race Direction, what a shambles of a weekend, even Ferrari couldn’t compete with that.
Best overtake - Lewis round the outside of Norris and Gasly.
Worst overtake - Calderon on Caldwell in the F2.
Best moment - thinking briefly we might have a standing start three-lap sprint with Max on old mediums
Worst moment - seeing that all unravel and finishing behind the SC having allowed the entire field to dawdle around getting free stops before the safety car decided to pick anybody up and the Marshalls worked out what to do with the novel sight of a stopped car on the track.
Race in a sentence - bring on the Indycar later. 5.

Best driver: de Vries. Well, Verstappen of course, but that is just a standard parameter these days. Could Leclerc have done more? Probably not, but Ferrari strategists put him on an impossible strategy so we will never know. The race was okay, but ended in a double meh.

Best driver: Nyck de Vries (And Verstappen, well, par for the course, slowly but surely). I always thought De Vries deserved a chance at F1. But I did not realise HOW MUCH he deserved a chance.
Honourable mention: Zhou.
Worst drivers: Kevin Magnussen & Valtteri Bottas. Is this a lack of fire I see before me, the steer toward my hand? Come, let me retire then. I have it not yet, and yet I see it still.
Best team: Red Bull/Verstappen or other-way round. Is the combination that wins, not just the car, not just the driver.
Worst team: Williams-human resources... or whomever picks the drivers. You CAN find capable drivers with good budgets (see Zhou). Think of Albon/De Vries of Albon/Zhou or Albon/Piastri. Perhaps then they would be fighting with the Aston Martins in the WCC then.
Best overtake: Double overtake of Hamilton. VERY good.
Worst overtake: Perez again crowding himself out, on the outside again. Or was this a feint? Can someone at Red Bull tell him to stop being so obtuse?
Best moment: The safety-car finish. Sorry. I wished the Italians their joy, they are good people. But this was too ironic! Almost as ironic as Verstappen's tear-off effing with Leclerc's race in Spa (though other sources that Autosport write it was actually one of Stroll.)
Worst moment: De Vries almost heading into the recovery-vehicle. Afterwards it turned out it was because of the confusion of his unknown info-panel in the Williams.
Best thing about the race: Midfield race between Ricciardo, Norris, Alonso, De Vries, Zhou and some others I can't be bothered to look up.
Worst thing about the race: I miss the old track before/above the Variante della Roggia. Every year I miss that little tunnel. It pains me.
And the race in a sentence: Amor vecchio non fa ruggine.

I honestly dont understand this comment. You cannot complain about Abu Dhabi and then again complain today... It's just chance that Max benefits twice, but considering the race director was literally fired over Abu Dhabi, of course they were not going to do the same as they did there!

Best thing about the race: Real tifosi respectfully enjoying the sport and their team with passion.

Second worse thing: The usual RC members being active in de AD21 thread again. Jeez.
And the race in a sentence: F1 gets 3 weeks to cool down and I hope to reflect about it’s behaviour and that means us as fans too.

Didn’t watch most of the race for reasons other than Croftine excrescence (now mute him relentlessly), but from what I did see:
- Mr Devries looks like a capable driver with a solid future.
- Apparently, folks above differ, but methought Schumi Jr’s pass was impressive Old School stuff, and not in the key of Vater’s shenanigans.
