Best Driver: Rosberg
Worst Driver: Grosjean
Best Rookie (Gutierrez, Bottas, Van Der Garde , Bianchi, Chilton): Van Der Garde?
Best Team: Mercedes - shocker
Worst Team: Marussia - Why turn up, so many faults all weekend

Best Overtake: Perez's
Funniest-moment: ermmm
Most Surprising Result: Mercedes 1,4
Least Surprising Result: Vettel Podium, and Vettel going for fastest lap

Special Mention to: Sutil
Race Rating: 6/10
 
Best Driver: Sutil
Worst Driver: Alonso
Best Rookie (Gutierrez, Bottas, Van Der Garde , Bianchi, Chilton): None of them.
Best Team: Mercedes
Worst Team: Marussia, by a long long long long long long long long long long long long way.

Best Overtake: I agree with others Perez's moves were just reckless. Absolute stupidity most of them, and others being forced to move over because he's essentially forced them off the track, rather than overtaking them, is pathetic stewarding. So you can't stick one down the inside if someone decides to turn in because it's your fault, but if the other car sees you being silly and decides not to crash it's their fault??? <doh>. Sutil's overtakes were better, his on Button's was the best one.
Funniest-moment: Croft's erection at a replay of the first or second lap, where Button fights with Perez and Hamilton fights with Vettel, because even though we've just seen that all the cars are spread out from real-time, he doesn't realise it's a replay.
Most Surprising Result: The safety car reigns supreme
Least Surprising Result: The stewards having no braincells

Special Mention to: Rosberg. Clearly faster than Hamilton, has been so all season long with one exception.
Race Rating: 3/10. Yay crashes... Booo no decent racing.
 
I rue my decision not to include Webber as a candidate for worst driver. What happened to the hellbent on revenge, "this is the last time walla" Aussie we could get on board with? No no, he's cemented his place as a crying, pathetic patsy who hasn't got the balls or talent to take on Vettel or nail him to the Monaco street signs, considering that's the closest he'll smell him all season now.
 
Best Driver: Rosberg
Worst Driver: Romain
Best Rookie (Gutierrez, Bottas, Van Der Garde , Bianchi, Chilton): VDG
Best Team: Mercedes
Worst Team: Ferrari

Best Overtake: Sutil on Alonso
Funniest-moment: Crofty getting very excited over reply
Most Surprising Result: Alonso finishing behind his start position
Least Surprising Result: A safety car or two

Special Mention to: Sutil was quality
Race Rating: 5.5/10
 
Best Driver: Rosberg
Worst Driver: Crashjean, Perez
Best Rookie (Gutierrez, Bottas, Van Der Garde , Bianchi, Chilton): I don't think any were good today
Best Team: Mercedes
Worst Team: Marussia

Best Overtake: I didn't like watching it, but Sutil's overtake on Alonso was very good.
Funniest-moment: Button on the radio.
Most Surprising Result: Alonso's bad race
Least Surprising Result: When will the luck run out for Vettel?

Special Mention to: Sutil, aggressive but not an idiot.
Race Rating: 0/10 - Too many SC's and red flags, very little overtaking, Vettel lucky with SC, bad day for Alonso, Massa and Bianchi. A race to forget.

Why?
Because you turn into the Eye of Sauron when you're hungry. Better?
Better.

Best Driver: hard one, up until he got swiped by Raikonen it was Perez for me, risky overtakes, yeah, but that's what you have to do at Monaco
Worst Driver: ermm Grosjean or chilton
Best Rookie (Gutierrez, Bottas, Van Der Garde , Bianchi, Chilton): VDG somehow
Best Team: hmm, should be Merc but the tyre test leaves a very bad taste in my mouth
Worst Team: Caterham

Best Overtake: the man who beat Vettel years ago
Funniest-moment: Vettel showing just how much of a joke F1 and it's tyres are, and why Monaco should be dropped, by doing a lap 2 secs faster than anyone else when he didn't need t conserve tyres
Most Surprising Result: Alonso finishing odff the podium
Least Surprising Result: Button whining about his team-mate actually racing

Special Mention to: he who shall not be named coming from 17th to 9th
Race Rating: 0.01/10 Monaco and race don't really belong in the same sentence

EDITED: oops, lol, forgot to put Sutil as my DoD

he's always been like that, just people seem to think that Aussies are nice for some reason.
 
Best Driver: Sutil-showed it was possible to overtake without putting both cars at risk. PDR was also reasonably good at this.
Worst Driver: Alonso-by his own high standards, his defensive driving was very poor. Grosjean also in contention.
Best Rookie (Gutierrez, Bottas, Van Der Garde , Bianchi, Chilton): Bottas - I think the only one to have a clean race.
Best Team: Mercedes - Without Hamilton's mistake they'd probably have had a 1-2.
Worst Team: Marussia - Pretty hard choice between them and Caterham, both poor.

Best Overtake: Sutil on Button(?)
Funniest-moment: EJ's "Button needs an injection of speed" in qualifying. Crofty ran him close though
Most Surprising Result: Sutil fifth
Least Surprising Result: Seb petulance over the radio

Special Mention to: Di Resta
Race Rating: 4/10
 
Best Driver: Sutil - Everyone else seemed to be reckless and out of control, or just lapping to a delta. Sutil was controlled and aggressive, top stuff. <applause>
Worst Driver: Perez - What the **** was Whitmarsh thinking telling him to be more aggressive? I wouldn't be surprised if he closes his eyes when he brakes. He just kept it on track when he streaked up the inside of Button and Alonso, more by luck than judgement. Then completely out of control with his first attempt on Raikkonen, luckily Kimi saw him coming and didn't get t-boned, not so luck the next time when he got rear ended. Grosjean had a shocker too. I don't think I've seen anyone crash in the way Massa did, certainly not twice. Chilton had a mare too.
Best Rookie: Bottas - Never driven here and beat his Monaco-specialist team mate. Was scrapping for Williams' first point of the season right until the end.
Best Team: Mercedes just edge Red Bull
Worst Team: Marussia

Best Overtake: Di Resta on Massa. Sutil had a few too.
Funniest-moment: Grosjean's weekend generally - the crash addict relapsing in spectacular fashion
Most Surprising Result: Alonso
Least Surprising Result: Rosberg

Special Mention to: Raikkonen keeping his point scoring streak going against the odds
Race Rating: 3/10 - a procession interspersed with brain fades and a rare overtake

Spot-on, actually, and I'll amend my vote now; previously, I couldn't decide between him, Pérez and Rosberg. (Props to DHC too on this point)
