[Official] Rate the Race : Korean GP

[Bononi]

Rate the rainy race...

[Super Hans]

I honesty can't choose between a 1 and a 10.

I'll go for 5.

[ralf fan]

I'm not sure. They had 10 laps less of racing than there should've been.

6 I'd say.

Very entertaining once they got racing, but minus points for the safety car "scandal" at the start. 7 for me

[HughGJohnson]

I had similar feelings to those of Super Hans. I'm a bit more forgiving, I suppose... I gave it an 8. They should have started the race much earlier.

7 - Fun race, but my anticipations fizzled as we had to wait so long for the race to begin. Dropped a mark because this is the true beginning of the end as far as wet weather racing goes.

That's a great alliteration.

Gave it 8. Loads of stuff going on. There was the rain, the first 4 lap safetycar race, the hiatus, the second safety car race and the race itself, with all the incident that actual race had.

I was going to give it a 7 as there were some fun moments in it thanks to the weather and darkness but I gave a extra point as although it saddens me to see Button finish with no points, it brings much joy to me to see the Red Bulls out with no points, for that I gave the extra point! Hope the Red Bulls bad luck continues! Although I hold nothing against Vettel, I do think he is a good driver but does act his age at times, though I predict when he is older he will be like Button and a good representative for this sport.

7. Madness at the beginning. Generally interesting and entertaining without ever threatening to be brilliant.

And the beginning was a Farce. They should have started that properly on lap 6.

[stripedcat]

I gave it a 6. I'd call it eventful rather than exciting. Silly that they allowed the safety car to run so long at the beginning. Not many overtakes(although Schumi did some good ones). I thought that as it was going to be a wet race that we would have a bit more racing action. It does seem quite a different track to overtake on(despite the two very long straights). Maybe next year when the track is more bedded we might get more action.

[dsg]

A good first effort. Thanks Korea. 8.

[steve_r]

Below average for a wet race. Strung out over 4 hours or whatever it was...

Gets an extra point for the Fore India's efforts to take out haf the field.

[GT6]

best race for ages, loads of action and overtaking plus spills a plenty, gave it a 9

[AUSRSR]

6. Lots of stuff happened, but there weren't any gripping battles...

[Bononi]

6. Not the one I wanted to win, big flaw for RBR.

[F1Pete]

Rain brings excitement....this one brought sleep (with the race on in the middle of then night). I gave it a 2.

[blaffer]

8.
Very entertaining race, with a number of pre-decisions: Button out of the championship battle, Petrov out at Renault, di Grassi out at Virgin,...

Agree. I voted 8 because drivers had a true challenge: survive a poor track and high pace on worn tires. But my actual rate is 7.5.

You are wrong: it was a disgrace!

[dyewat808]

Gave it a 7 - every time time I went to do something else when I thought it had died down, stuff happened. Interesting race, if not anything else. (Yeah, perhaps not a dedicated F1 fan speaking here )

I've a good feeling about Korea, it threw up all sorts of scenarios today. Think it deserves it place on the calendar more than Bahrain for example - 'specially considering the apparently higher spectator numbers!

[p261brm]

6 for the race, 8 for the interest, 10 for the Jones' boys' unexpurgated comments, The Alan & Martin Show can not wait..

[Sodemo]

I gave it a 5, simply because of the decision to put the race behind safety car for a third of the race. The race itself deserved a 7 or 8, but Charlie and the drivers (bar Hamilton) need to grow a pair.

[MrTTraces]

Would have given it a 6 but Sutil nudged it up to a 7.

[GORDON STREETER]

I actually kept awake for this ! as I watched the edited version on the Beeb at 2pm.
As I had a bit of a "heavy" night last night I failed to watch it live and didn't know the outcome.
I thought it was the most entertaining race this year and gave it an 8, I also think that Sutil should be banned for the rest of the year !
