A good solid 8 from me! Though the first 20 laps were so confusing, I don't think I've ever gotten so far into a race before not knowing who the top 5 runners are!

Being so lazy, I only managed to see the last 25 laps, but thought it was very good. Don't know why the Red Bulls slipped down the field though, another prediction out the window.

A good one, mainly because it rained, but good nonetheless.

6 for me. There still room to improve. Unfortunately we don't have at least 10 Hamiltons in the grid.

Some good drives, drama, a surprise winner, very different strategies, some good overtaking moves - what else do we want? Highly entertaining on many levels, 9 for me.

I've given an 8. This is more like it - can we arrange unpredictable weather for the rest of the season?

Bernie has tried his best so far, but I think that the Volcano is maybe a little bit over the top. Speaking of which, the MotoGP race at Motegi (Japan) has been rescheduled because most of the teams are stranded in Europe.

The race sucked. It was boring, the commentary was hectic but poor, the communications was messed up with weird voice overs. The first restart was a shambles and it means you can now officially push another driver off the track and nothing happens - as demonstrated by Hamilton on Webber, Hamilton on Vettel, Schumacher on Massa, Vettel on someone else.
Lets be honest the driving was so bad it got in the way of the race. Credit goes to the few clean passes that were made today, and some close safe racing in traffic, none of which involved Hamilton. Highlight of the race, Russian Vitaly Petrov in a Renault overtaking 237 times World Drivers Champion Michael Schumacher in the Mercedes GP. Priceless. |

9 - good race, equal to if not better than Australia but still not worthy of the 10

6 for me. Getting frustrated by all these "wet" races. It's entertaining, but somehow feels contrived.
I admire the driving seen in Australia, Malaysia and China, but I can't wait till we get some European dry races, where we can see where the teams actually stand. |

9 from me - very entertaining, lots of overtaking and the variable weather made it unpredictable. I can't quite give it a 10 because of the unnecessary second safety car and the fact that everyone's tyres going off at the end robbed us of what could have been a really exciting finish, but it was enjoyable enough that I thought it was worth watching the re-run this afternoon.

10 for me, one of the best races I have ever seen.
I cant understand how some people still complains about this and that, sorry but it was great, real overtaking -raining or not- and "at limit" moves from the biggining to the end. Waking up at 3am payed off. |

A seven. Button proved again to be the tactition. However, without the rain intervening it would obviously been a lot different.

8.
Some nice duels on the track, in the pitlane, in the pit-entry,... Apart from the race itself : too much complaining by journalists, drivers,... about when they could fly home to mummie. |

Loads of overtaking and on-track battles, incidents, some controversy, various leaders,a close finish. There was never a dull moment. What more could we want from a GP? It gets a 10 from me.

9 from me. I enjoyed the non-stop action but it wasn't a classic race for the reasons mentioned by others.
The thing is, I'm beginning to wonder whether it's possible to have an exciting F1 race these days without intervention from the weather. PS There was so much happening that it would have been difficult to follow without Live Timing |

I gave it a 9 if it was only for the overtakes by Hammy ! Because of the conditions it wasn't really all "done n dusted" until the last corner, and I didn't go to sleep !
