Gave it a 1. Complete yawn fest......and there are still 7 laps.
These track days with Bernie are starting to really lose my interest... |

Massa just breezed past anyone.... No overtaking at all......... Were you actually watching the race? I know Mercedes were dominant, but ther was a lot else going on....... |

Enjoyed the first half of the race, with Massa and Vettel, having to work to pass a few cars.
Second half was dull, with drivers coasting to save brakes and fuel. Hardly the pinnacle Best of the season, I give it 5. |

Quite dull. 90% of the overtakes were the very definition of the DRS "highway pass".
Gave it a 4, only because the circuit is still something of a challenge and hasn't been totally emasculated yet. |

Lift & coast. Not what F1 should be. Apart from that, just about OK. 6.

Vettel working his way up to 5th should have happened... he's in a much better car. Massa, much better car than most... again, totally expected... F1 has lost it's way, and it needs some serious help. Everything is too perfect. As I've said for a long time now... We need to get away from the stupidity, and go back to a real challenge. Less aero, more mechanical grip, ditch the DRS, ditch KERS, more driver, less engineer... |

3 - worst race of the season. Unfortunately, at a dry Canada and without a safety car - it'll be a snoozefest.
Most of the TV coverage missed Vettel coming from the back - so that didn't help. I just felt underwhelmed by the whole thing. |

7. Plenty of overtaking, DRS or not, and a fair bit of side by side stuff. Kimi even made something happen that affected the podium! Rosberg kept Hamilton honest and we had some good charges. Enjoyable race I thought.
Why is everyone so intolerant? F1 needs more overtaking - solution: Slower speeds, DRS. Fans hate both. F1 needs to be more of a spectacle. Spark plates. Artificial. F1 needs to have more rivalries. Hamilton vs Rosberg title fight. Too untroubled. Endless conspiracy theories. Just appreciate the sport for what it is. The 1980s have gone. There's technology in the sport. The one thing I want is more space for innovation. If one team runs away with it so be it. There'll always be good races in a season. There always have been. |

A great track and a good start to the race but it tailed off pretty quickly. There were some good moments but too few, like Ericsson and Massa, but if you didn't see it, Kimball and Briscoe at TMS last night was killer. Vettel's drive to 5th was impressive, otherwise that was prety much it, it except for the big squirrel on the track, which a made a change to the SC, or virtual SC coming out. 5

I agree with some other posts, this race needed a 10 minute rain shower.
Fell asleep with 5 to go, woke up with Hamilton being interviewed. Therefore - a 4. good crowd, beautiful track though. |

Terrible.
Only Massa and Vettel made it somewhat bearable. 3/10 I guess the gopher was somewhat entertaining as well, but whatever. |
