Call that a Grand Prix? A joke prix more like. Nerrrr.

It was basically just decided by tyres, fuel, who had the best car and how good they are as drivers. Is his really what the FANS want?

8 from me as well. I'd put it just behind Monaco as this season's best race. Pretty good racing for most of the field. I suppose having a third tyre compound has really mixed things up for some tracks - and that was the case here.

Some good fights - good to see Button in 2nd for a while - and he did manage a 6th. Superb performance from Kimi - just a shame about that Ferrari strategy. Max was also superb. Some good passing by Pascal, Danny, Max. The Mercedes battle at the front did really spice up the ending - I didn't think that Hamilton was going to close up to Nico - but when he made that mistake, then that gave Lewis his chance - and well - the rest is history - and also, for the stewards to decide. It was good that we did have the two leading Mercedes drivers fighting for the lead - even if there was some controversy again, with them coming together. It would be a shame if we went back to team orders.

Yeah, 8 is reasonable. It was a racey race with a number of battles. The rain over the weekend helped mix it up and some drivers got struck with bad luck. And then there was that last lap....so, yeah, good stuff.

The race started off well and was pretty good up until Vettel's tyre went, then it tailed off and came back in the last 10 laps, especially the last lap.
7.

One thing I noticed were the empty seats in the main stand.

Wanted to give it a 6, but misclicked 5.
It was an okay race, imo, but after Vettel retired with that exploding Pirelli tire, as I guess that's a feature now, it turned to mediocrity.

Positives, Wehrlein and Button performing very well.
Negatives, Lewis Hamilton being Lewis Hamilton.

It was pretty good anyway, but climaxed at exactly the right point. I like well timed climax's.

7. Enjoyed it except for the silly ending, and the crowd booing.

Pity about Vettel's tyre - took the edge off the battle for 3rd and subsequent places.

Good scraps around the field, and credit to Wehrlein, although he was lucky to get a point when Perez ploughed off at the end......still, that's racing

8. Great venue which seems to encourage racing.

Credit to Merc for letting their drivers fight until the end.

It was ok. I gave it a 7. It probably deserved a 8, but I deducted one mark for the travesty of a race track and the beautiful thing it destroyed two decades ago. Hopefully the news of bringing the western loop back does actually happen and they don't totally castrate it with miles of tarmac run-off (which in reality, is bound to happen).
