Spritle has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I was delighted with Ferrari's result and Alonso's win but...

..."I can't drive any slower" coming from Lewis!

I gave it a 1 for yet ANOTHER rubbish Pirelli fiasco.

The guys doing no stops would have to preserve tyres whereas the drivers stopping 2 or 3 times could really push the tyres. So again, what has changed and why isn't this dynamic the case with modern F1?
What's changed is these tyres don't last that long and you have drivers coming in after only 6 laps and in some cases having to make 4 stops. You can't preserve your tyres, however much you try, if they're designed to last a limited number of laps.

6.

Was ok, but as predicted, the DRS zone on the s/f straight was far, far too long. I have no idea what's going through their heads...

3. Boring, bordering on unwatchable after the first few laps. When tire life is down to 20 minutes on average, and then only if you don't push the tires at all, it makes a complete joke of the race.

Lazyking should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I gave it a 4 just for the start.. I try really hard to like F1, I watched it yesterday and after the great start, I was bored to tears within 15 laps..

Switched over to Speed with V8 Supercars and never looked back.

I'll keep trying.. I really want to like F1 but the tires and general non competitiveness turns me off.. The sport is so tech. oriented which bugs me as well as a novice fan.

I gave it a 6. I did fall asleep and had to continue the race the next day. Not a terrible amount of action.

Still no safety cars for the season!

For me a safety car can be good or devastating when cheering for your particular driver. However, I do miss seeing a safety car on track...it sure shakes things up.

A lot of the commentary seemed to be along the lines of ..

"Driver x seems to be managing his left rear tyre"

"Yes that's interesting as driver y seems to be managing his left front tyre"

Boooooooring

I think I've had enough of F1..again !

A supposedly crap race still rates a '6' ?????? Pre-Pirelli that would have been a pretty good score.

Then Pirelli can bring that into your living room at no extra charge..
