A very generous 5, only thanks to Nico's drive and some early and late race drama. Laps 10-40 were easily a 3. And that sound...

5.
Show has not improved with these new rules it seems, and we had a dominant car again. This is quickly shaping as another 2013 season |

5. A couple of good battles here and there, but not enough to warrant anything other than an average rating

Don't agree; I gave it a very rare (for me) 8. Some good close racing, on a good track and there are always going to be cars that come out the box better than others. At least it's not the RBR again (yet!). It had for me, the feel good factor, which I haven't detected for many a race, although I think the penalty for Bottas in qualifying was a bit crass.

5 - It was a pretty dull, I think.

3 - and that is being generous. I'll say that the Hulk and Alonso fight was good - and Massa going deaf at team orders was interesting, but that's about it.
The race left me very underwhelmed. A shame, as I like the Sepang circuit. I suppose that the fact there was no rain didn't help. |

Some battles but very flat for me. I gave it 4. I found it very disappointing and felt quite negative towards some of the things that happened during the event.

A fairly dull affair, with the processional racing delayed by the first round of pit stops. A few battles but they were short lived. It almost promised to come alive, in the last 7 laps or so, as races in the past have done but not this time. Hope the IndyCar race at St. Pete's is better. 4.

Not bad! There were a goodly number of battles up and down the order, although there were some that didn't quite develop according to their promise. Loved Ricciardo's early run on Vettel, the Williams form, was impressed with Merc's showing this time round. Was at least as watchable as the V8 Supercars!

The racing was not bad, but not spectacular either. The engines sound like construction equipment, hideous, if you want to hear a real race engine you have to come to the US....ha!

It was OK, but It wasn't great.
I was thinking 4 or 5 so would have been a 4.5/10 ideally, but selected 5 out of 10, because we had a couple on interesting battles. |

I was happy that Lewis was back where he belonged, especially after being robbed of a near-certain win two weeks ago, but otherwise I didn't have a whole lot to take away from the race. Interesting that the Mercedes cars are both faster and better on fuel than most of the top cars, but not a whole lot else to say of the day. |

5. Ultimately pretty dull. Shame the rain stayed away.

I've given this one a 5... not because it was any better than last weekend, I now feel I was just being a tad harsh with my low score of only 4 in Oz.

I'll give this a 4/10.
I never thought watching my favourite driver win would be so utterly boring to watch. These guys are talented and it's a shame to see technological advantages preventing them for testing their skills to the maximum against each other. I've waited years to see Hamilton fight for a championship properly again and I really am hoping the others catch up and soon! We've had 4 seasons to forget, it's about time we had a season to remember IMO. |

Red Bull will catch up, things are bubbling up nicely.

If team performance track records are anything to go by I'm pretty sure Red Bull (and maybe even Ferrari) can mount a challenge to Mercedes superiority as the season progresses... well here's hoping! |

I hope so. I'd still like to see Hamilton win it, just with a fight from some decent opposition.

I hope it soon turns into a championship battle. I too would like to see Hamilton challenge for the title and win it, but we don't need another team winning 14 or 15 races in a season. |
