[Laster]

Best driver: Vettel - a lot of drivers would be justified in being rated here this weekend, but I’ll go with Seb.

Worst driver: I would have said Latifi, but damn did Stroll ever undo all his hardwork on Saturday.

Best team: I’d say Red Bull but they did make Max job a whole lot harder. However no other team stands out either.

Worst team: Alfa Romeo I suppose but no one reallt stood out.

Best overtake: Vettel on Magnussen

Worst overtake: Alonso on Stroll

Best moment: Good battle for the win

Worst moment: Stroll blocking Alonso far too late. Ridiculous thing to do.

And the race in a sentence: Lots of stops and variation of strategy makes for entertaining races. 9

[messy]

Best driver - Vettel, one of his best drives for years.
Worst driver - Stroll, truly dangerous. He just doesn’t learn, ever.
Best team - honestly, hard to call. They all got things wrong this weekend.
Worst team - again, they all got things right and they all got things wrong. A strange weekend really.
Best overtake - Vettel on Magnussen at the end
Worst overtake - does Russell on Sainz at T1 count?
Best moment - a bit of uncertainty and a proper wheel to wheel battle for the race
Worst moment - Stroll doing that for the 736th time in his F1 career
The race in a sentence - genuinely exciting at times even if the result was same old same old.

9/10

[William Hunt]

Best driver: Sebastian Vettel

Honourable mention best driver:  Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton
Worst driver: Nicholas Latifi
Honourable mention worst driver: Lance Stroll, Valtteri Bottas, Daniel Ricciardo
Best team:  Haas for taking a succesful gamble by keeping Magnussen out
Worst team:  AlphaTauri: first they didn't give Gasly a team order to move over for Tsunoda (Gasly was on hard and holding up Tsunoda on medium), then they ruined Gasly's penalty pit stop
Best overtake: Vettel on Magnussen
Worst overtake:  Alonso on Stroll (Lance's fault though)
Best moment:  Vettel on the final lap
Worst moment:  Alonso-Stroll crash  (but good that no one got hurt)
Best thing about the race:  the fight for the final point(s)
Worst thing about the race:  Stroll needs to look in his mirrors, this has happened far too often with him in his carreer (he did have great race pace though, that's the only reason I picked Latifi and not him as worst driver, Lance was having a great weekend until he had that 'moment')

And the race in a sentence:  quite an entertaining race but the top 3 teams are way to far ahead the rest of the pack

Best driver: Vettel and Alonso were something else. Max was flawless but under the circumstances I put Seb and Fernando ahead today. 
Worst driver: Latifi
Best team: RB on pace, operationally everyone was a bit off
Worst team: AT made some very questionable strategy calls for both drivers
Best overtake: Vettel on K-Mag speaks for itself
Worst overtake: Stroll's late move in front of Fernando
Best moment: Verstappen coming back from a horrible pit stop and clearing both LEC and HAM to equal Michael and Seb's record of 13 wins in a season.

Worst moment: Stroll again
Best thing about the race: It kept things interesting all throughout in many areas of the field
Worst thing about the race: Felt like TV direction wasn't great again, missed some overtakes, no replays for some of them either.

And the race in a sentence: Fun race with many twists, memorable drives from Vettel and Fernando, with RedBull clinching the constructors one day after the sad news of DM's passing.

10. Best track with best drivers on the podium.

Feel bad for Sainz.

Best driver: Seb

 

Worst driver: Stroll
Best team: Ferrari managed to not balls something up!
Worst team: Probably AM. Vettel's pitstop ruined his race.
Best overtake: Vettel on Magnussen
Worst overtake: Russell steaming into T1 and collecting cars clearly in front of him trying to outbrake his teammate. 
Best moment: LH complaining about Max and track limits and spending so much time concentrating on Max that he ended up with the same problem. 
Worst moment: Stroll. Again. Same mistake he made when he wiped Hartley out in Canada years ago. He just moves erratically. He's not going to stop doing it. 
Best thing about the race: The scramble for the last points paying positions through the fireworks smoke. 
Worst thing about the race: Seb being diddled out of a decent result. 

 

And the race in a sentence:

Good race, LH did well but the car wasn't under him to fight Max in a straight fight, but man oh man, I really have to disagree with Alonso's post-race penalty being six times what Russell got for steamrolling Carlos at T1.

Enjoyable race with actual racing.  I thought Lewis, Lando and Seb had really good drives and after his rant Max got his head down to take the win.  Stroll I think needs a week in the cooler, that accident could have had serious repercussions, not only for Fernando, but Lando and Mick whose cars were damaged by the flying debris.

[ThrottleBlib]

Best overtake: Vettel on Zhou, outside of turn 17 was sweet. 

(Disclaimer: still in the proces of watching all onboards...) 

 

​Edit: okay, Vettel's overtake on KMag was even more spectacular..

Best driver: In relative terms both Alonso and Vettel was amazing, but Max was Max again
Worst driver: My standard anser is 'Latifi', but Ricciardo was even worse. Then there's Stroll....
Best team: Until I know more about the cost cap thing, I cannot say *RBR' again. Mercedes maybe? They made no mistakes
Worst team: Alfa Romeo, they keep getting worse, No wait, is FIA a "team"?
Best overtake: Vettel on Kevin
Worst overtake: Leclerc on Perez (the first)
Best moment: When RBR messed up the pit stop and we got a motor race
Worst moment: Stroll's brain fade
Best thing about the race: Good track that gives great racing
Worst thing about the race: FIA is appearing more and more incompetent the more they try to do the opposite. They should focus more on their job and less on their appearance.

Old age has dulled my sense of excitement. Norris gets my overtaker of the day award.

Stroll clearly did as demonstrated by Sam Collins, but did it anyway

Good race.

Most amusing moment: Hamilton getting a track limit warning after having played volunteer track cop, reporting Verstappens alleged track limit violations at every given opportunity 😄😄😄

[Ramon69]

Seb!!!!!!! Hats off!
