It was exciting at the start with all the title implications, but after a while it became obvious that it was impossible to overtake. Scored it a 5

As a race it was pretty dire, but I enjoyed it in the context of the title fight - 6

5. I still don't understand how this track layout can produce such poor racing. Although in fairness it was better last year.

Championship tension gives it an extra 2 points up to 7.

4. As a race it was dull.

Abu Dhabi is an awful track despite all the glamour and trackside features.

If it wasn't for it being the WDC decider I would have given it 3, so in this case I gave it 5.

It compensated for the title not being decided in Brazil - 7 !

Wasn't much of a race, was it....but fairly fascinating because of all the championship implications....6

It was difficult to rate for me because I wanted to rate it high simply for the outcome. Then I wanted to rate it low based on the action in the race itself. So, I have no choice to sit on the fence and rate it a 5.

I gave it a 6. Only because of the championship outcome. Which okay was determined by pitstops, not overtaking. As for the track, well maybe if it was a wet weather race we might get overtaking there? What do people think? Ahhh I know I'm wishing for too much on that one. Adding another 1 km to each of the two straights? Nahh, don't think that would work either.

As a race it was desperately dull.
Got a 3 from me. The awful track layout doesn't help things. |

 I actually gave it a 9 (rounding up) but probably should have gone 7 or 8. A lot of tension because of the title chase, but no payoff. The podium was an interesting microcosm of the race with the shampagne. |

I'd give it a safe six. There are better venues for a season finale, but I enjoyed the Renaults' resurgence in this race.

I will still add one more point to give it a 7 because we also saw the fastest driver win the World Championship. It was great to see Vettel win. The race gave us the best result.

Gave it a 6 as the title tensions kept me away from the simulator at the Williams conference centre until the 40th lap and then the last 5

Another race won from the first corner with everybody else unable to overtake. Is this supposed to be exciting.

A very dull race and I can't get over the fact that even with that massive straight drivers still can't overtake!!
Please, oh please don't let this venue (which is a great venue, but average track) the final round next year Bernie as is rumoured might happen. Brazil or somewhere else traditional should stay as the grand finale. |

The race doesn't deserve points just because a few men could win a title, so I won't add any points for that. A 2 will do. |

As we are voting on the race, and not the track, I gave it an eight.
Had this been earlier in the season I would have probably given it a 2 but, with the excitment of who was going to win the WDC, it kept me on the edge until the end. I still think it is a great venue and have a soft spot for it, having been there last year, but i can understand the Ferrari and McLaren supporters frustrations. |
