Changing places, fast corners, several surprises at the end and I'll even factor in possibly the loudest fans in the world in terms of what gets picked up on the TV. I don't mind saying that that atmosphere knocked up my enjoyment of the race a little. 8.

7. Not a classic, by any means - but a lot more enjoyable than a lot of recent F1 races. For the most part, it was a bit dull - but the Max versus Vettel fight livened it up, Danny's fightback was superb and the late tyre failure near the end really made it a lot more exciting.

Apart from the last two laps and the battle between Vettel and Verstappen earlier on, that wasn't an enthralling race.
5.

7. Entertaining. Gets an extra point for Max putting Seb in his place.

Gave it an 8, probably ratcheted up a grade because of the atmosphere and crowd support. Never really a race for the lead, but strong performances thoughout the field, as well as localised outbreaks of idiocy (Toro Rosso, Sauber).....
Still loving that nobody has ever told Max that he can't perform certain manoeuvers, so he just does them.....I'll just overtake round the outside here.....

Really? I tend not to rate GPs that highly, but if you rate that one as a 2 and thought it was 'bad' (presumably because of Hamilton's domination), you probably need to give up watching....

I'd give it a seven. Good dice between Verstappen and Vettel. A bit of unpredictability at the end, shame for Kimi.

8. It kept me well entertained. Even the safety car couldn't spoil it, though it did deprive us of a few laps of racing.

A 4 will do. I expected far more from it.
Apart from the comebacks of Bottas and Ricciardo nothing much happened.
Verstappen/Vettel was fun for a while, though.
A bit of rain might have worked wonders, though.

Not necessarily the most eventful race but so well hosted.
Decided to try out the Snapchat app for the first time and enjoyed the fan videos, the red arrows planes, marshals playing table tennis, generally just people enjoying themselves.
Don't know if I will use it for every race but liked being able to see things from different vantage points...which added a few points to my score of 7.
