7/10

It wasn't a classic, but fairly entertaining nonetheless.

6.

Was interesting to see the different strategies play out. By 2 or 3 races things will be back to normal once the teams figure out the optimal strategies.

Certainly an interesting and entertaining race and a good start to the season but what was Button thinking? A very un-chracteristic drive. As for Massa, it fizzled away.

I gave it a 7 but was debating an 8. I thought it was a very promising start to the season and it definetly looks like we could have some very exciting races this year

A solid 7.

How nice not to start a season in some barren desert with only sheikhs watching as well.

Now a race in Bahrain with some political turmoil would get my vote ;-).

Seriously, i'm resetting my standards this year with all these new gimmicks. KERS, wings, tires did nothing really to improve the show. Only the first scrap between Massa and Button did hold some (ok, a lot) excitement. After that it was back to reality.

A 7 here, too. Interesting rather than exciting ( I actually found qualifying more exciting to watch ). But at least the circuit looked real with a real crowd.

Gave it a 5 - nothing special. Tyre degradation and DRS didn't seem to add much here but could have more impact at some of the upcoming tracks.

7! Pretty decent! Some nice passing here and there, some intrigue and some good stories.

Gave it a 3, boring as hell.

FFW'd through most of it, thank God.
Only stopped and rewatched when something unusual happened, like the extraordinary button pass, THAT WAS PURE EXCITEMENT AND EDGE OF THE SEAT STUFF!!1

It wasn't bad. I'd give it a 5. Most of the rookies or near rookies surprised, the veterans flattered to decieve so it was interesting as they say.

The producer making good decisions helped. They didn't spend all their time following Vettel as he circulated. They resisted the temptation to leer at home-boy Webber most of the time as well.

They kept up with the battles down the order. Button versus Massa, Harpoon Barrichello and so on. So it was a 5. It could have been worse if the camaeras stalked Red Bull.

6 from me. OK in places but nothing to write home about & glad I didn't get up at 6am to watch it (I would have missed the build up if I did as forgot to put clocks forward!!).

All the new 'overtaking aids' promised so much but delivered very little. Would the couple of DRS assisted passes we saw have happened without the aids? Think so....

7 for me. Way above my expectation and as has been said a great improvement over Bahrain as a starting point for the season.
