Awful circuit. |

I'd take any track in the middle east or Asia over this place. Disgraceful.

4, bumped up to 6 because of Kobayashi's drive.

4. Kobayashi earned a couple of those on his own.

I gave it 2. Kobayashi brought it alive right at the end but it was too late.

6 for me obviously Kobayashi drove an extreme race but Hamiltons drive through took the edge of the race. So Red Bull does give you wings, how did Webber walk away from that?

The drive-through robbed the race of a great potential battle - and as for Alonso's whingeing..........

It did get a bit boring at times but I gave it a 6. Just a pity that a technical balls up spoilt what could have been a blinding finish, would that have happened if the car was "red" ?

I was tending towards a fairly in depth discussion over one or two incidents during this GP, then comrade Lancsbreaker puts it in perspective. Alonso whingeing? surely not, then stewards are going to investigate car number's...... yup they were in front of..Alonso. I thought we'd got shot of the Ferrari thing with shhh... Lewis took his penalty and did the business. Mr Webber has a fair history of racing incidents, so has Mr. Kovalinen; end of, racing incident. A reasonable race given this circuit and it's layout, he is an annoying feller that Jordon....

5 from me - best Valencia race yet, but that's not saying much!!
It's a real shame this circuit never delivers as I, personally, think it's a stunning location & it looks a great track to drive. |

Better than the usual fare served up at Valencia, but that was mainly thanks to the safety car shaking things up a bit. 3.

A "2" will do.
* stupid track with close to no overtaking possibilities. What was left of the race was spoiled by: * race control or safety car driver unable to pick up the race leader * car(s) overtaking safety car and drivers speeding under SC conditions Luckily Kobayashi still made a bit of a race out of it |

2 - A poor track results in a poor race. Exactly as expected. Please get rid of this track for next year.

4 knocked down to a 3 because of the farcical five-second penalties. Not everyone will agree with deducting points for something like that, but we all have our criteria for such threads.

A 4. It should have been an even better race than Montreal, but long before the cars even got there, we knew it wasn't to be. Roll on Hungary!

I gave it a 4, it could have been better but the coverage on Fox in America made it impossible to tell.

I like the circuit and the whole setting. Plus the race was quite exciting, with some unexpected position changes, nice incidents. And bonus points for Alonso being his whiny *****y self again while getting owned. Also bonus points for Kob pushing real hard. And that Webber guy was really funny. |

Montreal was a hard act to follow, but 4 is the most I can give it. It just seemed messy and untidy, even though there were some good moments.

[QUOTE=Super Hans;2718570]4 - Pretty dull on the whole.
The place has no soul, every bit of the track looks the same....dull and lifeless. Worst of the year by far. |

i don't mind valencia but with a number of great circuits in Spain why do a street race?
i love how wide the track is though. but Kobayashi saved it and the safety car rules sunk it. |
