6 - it was okay. Fairly good start - and good to see Lewis scrap for a few places back there and also Danny fight over some as well. Then for the middle part quite dull. The ending wasn't as tense as I thought it would be - but it did liven it up a bit.

Pretty boring, nothing memorable. I also don't think crashes and lame DRS passes improve the show so I gave it a 3.

It is a nice track (could be longer), which gives dramatic camera shots, and can show the speed of these machines. Sadly, after the first corner fiber shedding fest, it wasn't memorable.

P38 in workshop has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
A lot of not much going on enlivened by the closing up of the front of the field toward the end.

A generous 4, bumped up to 5 by the potential excitement of the last couple of laps that fizzled out.

A better way of spending the afternoon than most of the alternatives. And it got quite suspenseful at the end. 7.

Was going to give it 5, but the last couple of laps made it a wee bit more interesting so a 6.

I was really looking forward to the Austrian Grand Prix. But this was very dull. F1 racing needs at least one safety car per race to make it watchable. And the Pirelli tires are way too good, no degredation even when the tires look very bad. The new rules haven't made the racing better yet.

You cannot be serious!!!! The safety car should be consigned to the history books. It destroys the sporting contest. If you really believe that, please go off to watch Indycar or Nascar or American wrestling. Let us get back to Formula 1 as a proper contest between drivers and teams where the best man wins, without being given a big boost by the safety car.

Unfortunately, the F1 Rain God was not obliging. Someone should re-investigate Bernie's sprinkler system.

It absolutely belted down, with hail too, just a few hours after the race ended. If that thunder storm had hit during the race, the race would have been for sure.

I'll go for a 6 this time. It was a decent race and there were some good moves going on near the beginning and some tension for 2 major positions at the end.
