I really enjoyed it for some reason, good tactical battle and some good dices throughout the field, an 8 from me.

9/10. First race I've actually watched all the way through in months. Brilliant stuff.

6. Enjoyable. Pity Sutil couldn't gain enough ground on Raikkonen to make a race of it.
An enjoyable sprint-like race, but Monza could do with having a few more laps, or perhaps it's okay to have one race with a short duration than most. |

Given the nature of Monza, I'm not sure more laps would be a good idea. Unless you want 6 cars finishing...

None too shabby, but I can't say I found it desperately epic or anything. 7.

6 from me! I quite enjoyed it, nothing special. First couple of laps were excellent, and then it became interesting rather than exciting.

6/10 for me. Was a fairly good weekend with some interesting duels going on, but unfortunatley none of the drivers I support did well, and no one likes to be in that situation where you can't celebrate a good result. It was nice to see Sutil up there though, and that increased my rating from a 5 to a 6.

A good first few laps, and a good last few ones with really not too much happening in between. I did not fall asleep, but it wasn't too exciting either. A decent effort - 6.

An enjoyable 8, mainly for the first 4 or 5 laps.

Barnstorming opening few laps before settling down into the standard let's see who's strategy is best rather than let's see who's best 'on the track.'

8. Very enjoyable actually, good dices through the field, very interesting to see how different driver's fuel plans turned out. It looked like we were heading for an interesting last lap too, until Hamilton binned it, but added to the drama for me.

Not brilliant, but better than some recent races.
Liked the Toyota fight, and Hamilton & Sutil chasing down other cars, but went boring in the middle. Got a 6 from me. I would like to know what people grade these races against. I grade them against any other race I have seen, be that Mini's, Touring Cars, previous F1 races etc. |

8 from me, an enjoyable dicey start, interest throughout due to differing strategies, and not forgetting the comedic Toyota team doing their best to liven up a quiet period.
It's not the circuits fault, but it's still far too hard to overtake outside of the first lap or two though, a real shame when a quicker car literally can't get within .5secs of the car in front at any time. With how close the field is it's a shame the OWG didn't work as planned this season. |

7 from me - I enjoyed the first few laps and the Toyota battle was entertaining (apparently Trulli went a bit nuts because he got "bored"), but not much actually happened for the majority of the race. Certainly better than some of the other rubbish we've been subjected to this season though.

Sorry but the race was, on the whole, rather boring so a 5 from me.

It is not exclusively all about compared to other F1 races, though, but certainly that is the general tilt. |

8 from me.
Really enjoyed it, all weekend. Tiny nag...Pity the circuit owners couldn't afford a bit of paint for the pits doors though. Peeling paint was in stark contrast to all the spotless hi-tech imagery going on inside the bays. Peter |

I used to be quite negative in my race ratings but the truth is the racing we are seeing now is at as good, if not better than in the 80s and 90s. I took my rose-tinted spectacles off when I watched some races from 1995 that turned out to be quite dull |

I just watched the tape of the race, couldn't watch it live. I gave it 7, Rubens seemed to have it under control.
