[Official] Rate the race- Chinese Grand Prix

[PRS RH01]

Thanks for all the posertive comments. The kids are Great totally indipendent and dont follow the sheep . Yes i normally use the race to catch up on sleep . In all seriousness the race was as good as any formula ford race . from front to back all the drivers deserve to be there love watching the GP2 drivers at play .
My comment about tyres was ment to make the sheep on here wake up . we could have this every time if we had one compound that went the distance and no false driver aids . It would be nice if they looked different .
Well that should get a few on the limiter .

I too don't follow the sheep, can I follow you?

I heartily recommend you just don't watch car races, or continue to comment on them. It's quite obviously just not your thing. I suggest taking up wing suited skydiving. Lets hope that gets your adrenalin going.

Unless you are just trolling of course, in which case you may ignore this post.

As Bernie owns F1 shall we set up a splinter group and run 1ltr turbo diesels on hard narrow tyres small wings and all different shapes not just colours, Hell lets call it 1 F as its in a parallel universe .

Its disgusting that whole grandstands were covered over you would think they could get rent a crowed in . only a thought but maybe they were charging to much to get in only a thought you understand !

8 or 9 for me. Bit of a procession from just after the start to last 15 or so laps. But otherwise, cracking!

Man, which planet is 'Stockort' on?

I'm well known on here for being positively scathing about F1 at times and giving relatively low ratings while others are up in the 8s and 9s, but at times, that race today was as exciting as any I've seen since the mid-80s. And I really don't understand the point you're trying to make - it seems unsuccessfully from the reactions......

Good point well debated . The race in itself was excellent but you cant guarantee it every race . The cars have to much grip all look the same and need rain or marbles to make them exciting .
Anyway ive just bought a 10 million marbles has anyone got Bernies number .
In all fairness to Bernie without him we wouldnt be watching the Grand Prixs..
I started watching in the 70s and you got which ever GP the beeb could buy or get a link to and the coverage was usually the local driver lap after lap .

Why thank you. Good to know I may have picked up a few pointers in the last 11 years here...

I wasn't voting on 'every race' - just this one.

And if the race itself '...was excellent', why did you only give it a 3?

And I still can't even begin to understand what all the stuff about Bernie has to do with rating this one race.....

I'm with you. Not much of that previous post made any sense. Excellent race, rates a three. Most odd.

9 awesome race good close racing and some great overtakes . Well done Nico and a great points finish for the pair of Williams

[GT6]

enjoyed that one plenty of action and signs that close racing should continue all season

[Bononi]

8, wonderful race.

My question is, have you lost your marbles..

9, says it all

[Paradise City]

I do wince when they speak of the "DRS Activation Zone", the wings flap and they start passing like Whacky Races even if the passing took awhile to get going this morning. The commentators just need to say "DRS" with a Dick Dastardly rasp and invite Mrs. Wolfe to play the role of Penelope Pitstop and the effect is completed.

Yes, it was very entertaining with some good moves. Button performed well, it was nice to Webber outdo his teammate Herr Happy von Fairweather. Storming drive from Rosberg who didn't need Schuey for cover in the end. I give it an 8.

[chillibowl]

9. amazing race but feel a little bad that schumi wasn't there in the end for that epic battle for 2nd.

seeing norbert haug up on the podium was great. special stuff! real vindication for him and the merc f1 program.

[stripedcat]

I gave it an 8. It probably had better racing than last year(i.e. not some reliant on DRS, car could get alongside one another but they had to muscle their way past - turn 6 for example). It was lower down the field as Nico had it all under control.

More to the point, did he have any to begin with..? Doesn't quite get the 'Rate THE race' thing does he...

Great race, very entertaining...getting a 9 from me...

I gave it 9. One of the best races I've seen in a long time. It took a bit of time to get going but fortunately didn't turn into a precession and there was no SC. There were good battles throughout the field and an intense last 15 laps.

The "doctor" is in the house...

[nicanary]

Even old misery-guts me enjoyed that one.
1) good to see Nico get a break - lets hope that Mercedes can continue to give him the right car at the right time
2)I thought that Vettel was lack-lustre, and his final position was more by luck than judgement
3)tough on Jenson having to work so hard for his place, but that's racing
4)the last few laps were more like a handicap race at a clubbie - all the different strategies of the various teams resulted in everyone being in a bunch and really having to fight for the points.

Wish it was like that more often.(Still don't like the way the sport is run, but I won't put a dampener on this time)

[chunterer]

Only a 7 for me, there wasn't enough overtaking in the zone, for it to be considered a 9 surely??

If it wasn't for Kimi Trulli, the race might have been soooo much better

Good quality F3000/GP2 race though as Romain mentioned!!!!

[Aysedasi]

I actually thought that lap from Kimi was one of the highspots - really quite amusing - let's all pass the mobile chicane....... We'd have ripped team and driver to shreds (rather like his tyres) if it had been anyone else....


Worth a 9 alone for me for Webbers pass on FB.

[PRS RH01]

I still stand by my 3 it was an excellent race but enhanced by the marbles and the drs. Pure racing as in GP2 every time and drivers who are still proving themselves . Im not trying to be a kill joy just i like a woman who hasnt been enhanced as well so does this make me a purist .
Me loosing my marbles, have been for years hope you buy me a beer as im coming to Austin to watch the race .
