What score do you give the Portuguese Grand Prix?

[chillibowl]

10. The first couple of laps brilliant. +Points for records and history, some nice wheel to wheel battles, quality quali session, new track and more...just good fun all around.

[Adam43]

Fun opening laps. Some nice side by side.

And an extra point for the record and humble acceptance.

[Knowlesy]

Giving it a ten because it had a bit of everything and I am feeling dizzy with excitement.

Can we come back please?

8. I liked the track and there was some good racing in the mid-field.

[ggreen29]

If it was a four lap race I’d give it a ten. Great looking course using all 3 dimensions, but too quickly the race settled into the standard parade. And they really need to get rid of DRS, it just made passing there too easy.

If Bottas moved over more he would've punted the wall.


Nice race for a couple laps, then nothing but a parade interspersed with dumbassery from Stroll.


4/10 would not recommend.

[GT6]

First few laps were well worth a top score but as usual mercedes were in a totally different race after that, over all gave it 6

[steve_r]

I thought it was very good. Its just such a shame that the DRS was far far far too powerful today.

6. Some great action, particularly at the beginning and the circuit offers plenty of passing places. Great to be back in Portugal

[Born Racer]

We've had some really good races this season. Loving these Grands Prix at new tracks in particular. Really enjoyed it, so an 8 seems fair. Would score higher if DRS was not such a factor and there were more side-by-side moments, but there were more than expected, a pass for the lead and some good drama.

7 for me. Enjoyed the opening laps but by midrace I was praying for rain.

[Aysedasi]

As usual, highlights only for me. Enjoyable. Particularly the first few laps. DRS overtaking again way too easy. But great to have racing at a different track.

[chillibowl]

its the age old argument about DRS...without the ability to reduce the gap via DRS then we might not have seen any close proximity racing (of which there was a fair bit in this race) for the remainder of the lap.

but some of the overly ambitious moves going into turn 1, made that DRS zone of particular interest during the race. passing there wasnt as easy as we have seen at other tracks i thought.

[TrapezeArtist]

I gave it 9. The first few laps were manic. Then it settled down a bit as the usual front-runners got themselves back into their accustomed positions. But there were still some big question marks over tyres (soft v hard, and the results weren't always what I expected) and the possibility of more rain.

[S griffin]

I think 6 is accurate for me. Obviously spots of rain made it interesting in the first few laps, then it was down to tyres, although we at least had some overtaking and plenty of other things to keep us interested. Although it was unlikely to rain harder

[chunterer]

7 overall.
'10' for the opening laps.

Oh how I got carried away with hyperreality...

Then it came crashing down to earth with same old same old.

Still, there were some great drives and some entirely the opposite.

[Tourer]

8 for me - think that's the same score I gave Mugello. Just need to trim the DRS zone and let the tarmac weather in a bit to have the track fully sorted.
Can we come back please?
