I'll add a most memorable moment which for me was Alonso staring at Vettel celebrating winning the 2012 championship.

2. Team of the decade - Mercedes. Obviously.

3. Race of the decade - Bahrain 2014

4. Lap of the decade - Lewis Hamilton, Monza 2017

5. Season of the decade - 2012

I thought it’d be fun/interesting to analyze the 2000s decade in the same way, but not really worthy of a separate thread, so:

1. Michael Schumacher
2. Ferrari
3. Hungary 2006
4. Raikkonen at Monaco 2005
5. 2003
6. Raikkonen at Japan 2005
7. Is that Glock?
8. Monaco 2006 qualifying
9. Interlagos

Not 2005 US GP, Crashgate, Spygate nor 2007 McLaren situation???? So many to chose actually, I take it back!

[Covalent]

According to some (and the modified Julian date) the decade doesn't end until at the end of 2020.

Please don't start! For the purposes of this thread the OP has named the decade in question 2010-2019. The decade that ends at the end of 2020 is the 202nd decade of the Gregorian calendar, not the 2010s.

Race of the decade: Hungary, 2014

1. Driver of the decade - HAMILTON
2. Team of the decade – MERCEDES
3. Race of the decade – BUTTON Canada 2011

[Schumacher forever#1]

Speaking of controversy, I do miss the Hamilton vs Rosberg days:

8. Controversy/controversial moment of the decade – Sutil slashing and stabbing Luxembourg Eric Lux, owner of Genii-Capital and Lotus Renault F1 in the neck with a broken glass or bottle.

Who could forget that one!

[Banana Man]

10. Overtake of the decade – MASSA on Senna In Singapore 2012

Way over rated IMO. He lost his back end and just about managed to collect it. Senna saw him there and left room. There are two possible answers here:
1. Webber/Alonso and Kimi/MSC at Eau Rouge
2. The entire career of Kamui Kobayashi, although overtaking Vettel in the Caterham gets it, just for lols.

Anyway, my list:
Driver - Hamilton - Phenomenal every year except '11.
Team - Merc - Even early Red Bull can't argue with that surely.
Race - Canada '11
Lap - For excitement maybe the last one in Austria '16, Canada '11 or the first in Singapore '17.
Single race performance - Just because I'm a fan, Kobayashi scoring a podium on genuine pace, without attrition, in a Sauber, in his home race.
Moment - Too many to choose but I'll say being at Silverstone in 2014, seeing Hamilton reeling in Rosberg and the crowd going nuts when the latter broke down.
Controversy - Spa 2014. I think after Monaco that tipped a few fans over the edge. I was there, he was booed rotten on the podium.
Track - As always, and I hope for ever more; Spa

[Exediron]

Driver - Hamilton - Phenomenal every year except '11.

I would argue also 2013. But 2 years out of 10 is still pretty darned impressive.

9. Track of the decade – SPA FRANCORCHAMPS
10. Overtake of the decade – MASSA on Senna In Singapore 2012

I would agree with this, but with a couple of minor changes:

7. Favourite moment of the decade – Schumacher's last podium, that was special to a Schumie fan!
8. Controversy/controversial moment of the decade – Probably Multi 21, although I loved it as Webber, a tough as nails/true grit guy, did the exact same thing the year before and acted like a hurt puppy this time around
10. Overtake of the decade – Can't really think of one, too much DRS

[pokerman]

Yes 2013 because of the change of team but to his credit he did still managed to edge out Rosberg.

[FormulaFun]

Driver of the decade: Lewis Hamilton for obvious reasons

Team of the decade: Mercedes

Race of the decade: Canada 2011 obviously

Lap of the decade: Hamilton, Korea pole 2011

Season of the decade: 2010 without a doubt, 5 legitimate WDC contenders all vying for the title until the final race, incredible one of the best seasons of all time

Race performance of the decade: Really hard to pick one... I'll go for Hamilton Germany 2018 but to be honest could pick so many, maybe Alonso Valencia 2012 as well and Kobayashi getting podium in japan

Favourite moment of the decade: wow, maybe vettel crashing out in Germany (as a Hamilton fan this was brilliant) or slipping of the track on last lap of Canada 2011

Controversy: Felipe, Fernando is faster than you... Ooor "Not bad for a number two driver"1

Track of the decade: Malaysia is my favourite, really miss it.
