[Official] Rate the Race : German GP

[Spritle]

I voted 10 just to **** off the Ferrari whingers.

I think I'll vote Hammo the Driver of the Race, just to make you all happy!

[jonboy1066]

Voted 1 as there's no choice for 0. What could have been an epic battle wrecked by filthy, dirty, lying, cheating, heartless tactics which have gone so far overlooked with a pocket money $100,000 fine.

I am disgusted but strangely not surprised that Ferrari have decided to stoop so low again.

4 - Even without the Ferrari medding it was fairly average.

[Mekola]

4 - Controversial moves but at least another Ferrari win.

Considering how they've vastly improved the car, yes.

I gave it a 3 but maybe I was too generous.

Given Martin Brundle thought the layout was much better than the old circuit, I was expecting far better. What the new circuit layout has done is virtually guarantee zero passing opportunities. In that regard, a huge fail.

Cruel to be kind.

I think that there was more overataking the last time the race was at Hockenheim, despite the new regulations.

With or without "fixgate", a 5.

There was a lot of build up before hand saying it would be a good race with tyre stratagy and Ferrari's up front but that fizzled and then they all started playing fuel saving games, which lowered the race value even further. The only highlight for me was the fact so much of the field were lapped (and the 2nd Tier group lapped so quickly.) The shinanigans were a sidenote, which will be mediarised for the next week/month.

I ignored the controversy and rates it on its own merit, 4
First corner was good, hope it teaches Seb a lesson, but it is taking a while to sink in

[brands]

Leaving aside the Teflonso incident I rated the race as a 2....after lap 1 as dull as ditchwater.

[Grandpa_Rob]

Gave it a 3 for the early part of the race

[resir014]

It was the race I dreamed of (Ferrari's 1-2), but with all that team orders I gave it 4/10.

[AndyS]

I gave it a 7, which is probably a reflection of how dull other races have become if I rated it so highly. In fact I don't know why I was so generous. The nonsense with Ferrari ruined it, what's the point of racing if your not actually going to race. Alonso's and Massa's faces said it all in the press conference. Massa deserved that win.

Gave it a 7 as well, because the race gave us an interesting topic to discuss afterwards.

[Dutton]

I will go for 6.

A very run-of-the-mill race, but that the top three were never all the far apart will give it a 6 over a 5.

The team-order bit is a bit of a non-issue for me (they are just part of motorsport, albeit deemed rather less acceptable in more recent times), although given the choice I'd prefer they didn't happen.

[Peter Mallett]

4. It wasn't bad because the circuit allows for some close racing. But it was processional.

[JimW]

A 1 because there is not a 0.

However, the FIA investigation might be worth a 7 if things get exciting.
