6. Nice to watch, but not all that much other than the Grosjean/Stroll fun near the start.

I never usually bother to vote, but that was so dull I’ve broken the habit.....

A generous 3. The donuts and fireworks helped.

Well that was the most boring race of the year, Not sure why with all the burning out of tyres and engines at the end no one thought of pushing harder during the race, might have actually been doing what the cars were built for. gave race a 2 as fireworks were good

You're a miserable bunch........

As usual discounting all the "clever" comments about sleeping through it because (if true) you've no idea what the race was like.

Sure it wasn't a wheel banging battle at the front, although if you were monitoring the live timing there was a constant battle going on as the two leaders swapped fastest sectors and laps, and some distance away Verstappen was keeping Kimi honest, although neither Ferrari nor Red Bull seemed to be able to compete with the Mercs - except near the end of the race when Vettel mysteriously started matching the leaders' pace.

Further down the field some good scraps (Massa / Alonso, Stroll / Grosjean and even at the back of the field) livened things up.

A bit of an end-of-term feel about it, but nothing to warrant the miserable reactions so far, guys, IMHO. Maybe you want to go back to cars crashing in flames to liven things up?

Sadly, I was unable to sleep through it due to an over-amorous cat. He thought it was rubbish, too.

I missed 5 laps in which I'm told the most exciting thing that happened was... erm well, there was nothing exciting during that time.

Well the drivers agree. In the cool-down room, they were vocal about the track having to change so that they can actually race on it.

dull track, not worthy of the season finale. If the battle for 13th is the hilight, then that speaks volumes. 3 from me.

Gave it a 1 and that's being generous, fireworks doesn't really excite me as I'm not a child anymore.

There was apparently a race happening as well, but to be honest, I've coughed up racier stuff than that.

It really is a poor track. It's flaws are well documented. There's scope to change it e.g. bypass that chicane before the hairpin that makes no sense whatsoever as it turns an obvious overtaking spot into simply a hairpin.

There's never been anything approaching a good race on this hen run.

As I was watching it on the box in the UK and not in Spain I was more interested in keeping my wood burning stove loaded up, nice and warm 28c. Oh the race ! I did see a few laps but it was a bit like "Groundhog Day"
