As a race? 6 or 7.
As motor racing entertainment? 10 for me. The rain always brings out the best and the worst in drivers at the same time! And I didn't fall asleep. |

I gave it a 9 wich is a 9.5 really. (its even hard to say why it wasnt a 10, maybe a closer battle towards the sharp end of the grid and non-rain-generated action could be the only things this one lacked, brilliant race nevertheless)

9.5 rounded down to nine. We didn't get a defrocked priest running onto the track.

It's a pity we've seen one of the last good races in this circuit...

9 from me.But will it always be that only wet races will score the higher marks?
Martin Brundle hinted that the cars needed to lose some grip when it's dry. |

7 from me, but I guess I am a touch bitter over the Ferrari tire choice. Could have been closer at the front.

for a round of F1, a definate 9+ but as a 'motorsport' event it will fall down the ratings a bit....
(on my 'motorport' ratings 750mc is a 10!  )

It was dominated by one driver and despite the eather there wasn't the same spectacle that we had either in Monaco or in the dry at Canada in my book. Still better than the usual faire all the same.

A 10 - Because of a brilliant, dominant performance from one driver, a drive that puts Hamiltons feet on the staircase of the greats. I can only think of two others in my era that were capable of a display like that, MS and Senna.

Yes, its a shame there wasn't a battle for the lead as such, I think its more of a case of Ferrari and the others throwing it away rather than any kind of amazing superhuman performance by Lewis, he drove a good race no doubt, but I think Kimi would have been there too if it wasn't for some bad decisions / luck with tyres.
But a race like that reminds me of why I started watching F1 some 20 years ago. |

9 from me - I think the only thing that would really have improved it for me would have been a battle at the front, as there were plenty everywhere else.
