Apart from the last 5 laps or so it wasn't exciting at all, like many a race this season. 3.

That's true.

With Lewis driving as slowly as he did, even that didn't present any opportunity for overtaking action between the Red Bulls, Ferrari's and Rosberg.

Only Vettel with the tyre advantage that he had could make some passes - while that lasted

Yes indeed.. you get this big build up and then it's all rather flat and somewhat tentative. I thought Nico would attempt passing Lewis, but it never did happen did it ...

7 for the theoretical tension. It was obvious many laps out that they would finish in that order.

It wasn't a great race, but it was very entertaining. One of the weirdest races I've seen. I gave it a '9'

The circuit is loved by the teams, the media, Bernie's pocket but produces rubbish racing. F1, GP2 and GP3 were all poor.

newlaprecord should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
most of it was a 4, last 10 laps near 10, so gave it a 7.

spinning an old record here, but its a tad odd that the most expensive and quite possibly the widest purpose built racing circuit of the world delivers such garbage for racing, just like all the other non-sense tracks (hello baku), while in 10 years we lost


estoril (decent)
imola (amazing)
argentina (my personal favorite)
magny-cours (was considered a borefest back then, but the hairpin alone generated more action than 5 tilke tracks combined)
nurburg (epic)
jerez (decent)
indy (epic)
istambul + korea (the only two new school tracks that were any good and commanded respect from the drivers, istambul at least certainly did)

oh well...

8. The race was quite fascinating, but would probably have been pretty dull in normal circumstances.

Max coupled with the last several laps made it one of the most compiling races of the year. 2 or 3 on the whole race with a 10 for the last bits. 7 or 8; clicked on 8

It's interesting how we vary. I've given some eights this year where the average has been a five or a six. This time I will just go for six.

Not the best of races, but it was certainly tense championship wise, would Max and Seb get past Nico to deny him the title? Good job Lewis didn't go off into the distance, otherwise nothing would have happenend

Even now, nothing really happened.
Apart from the championship situation, the race itself was pretty boring.

For someone who wasn't interested in the championship possibilities, and only the race action it itself, the score can't be very high.
