Rate the race...

7.

Actually thought it was a bit dull after the first couple of laps (the mutli car scrap over the first lap was fantastic) and apart from Nico v Jense and Webbo v Ham, there was precious little else to marvel at?

Individually good drives aren't noticeable on a tv screen other than when they come up behind other cars and even then if they don't race it doesn't add up to much for average joe.

The DRS zone was rubbish for such a long straight and didn't seem to work that well. Odd.

5

Enjoyed the Webber/Hamilton battle and other fights down the field.

Not a bad circuit but it will go the way of Turkey with the lack of support from the local people.

[Bononi]

5. To say the least, a great start and that was all.

[JeremySmith]

I gave it a 5, apart from the Webber/Hamilton I thought it was rather boring..

[Wims]

I thought it was pretty good, there was an uncertainty throughtout the entire race. I especially liked the Arnoux - Villeneuve battle .... errr Mark Webber - Lewis Hamilton battle. 8 for me.

[Marbot]

A 7. Some good scraps through the field. Tyres didn't play as big a part as perhaps they should have.

[Lancsbreaker]

I guess we didn't actually see all the action, but I thought overall it was a great race. with action throughout......pity it didn't involve the leader, but you can't have everything

[bjohnsonsmith]

It was an exciting start and the Hamilton/Webber battle kept alive what was a rather a dull race. 5

[TrapezeArtist]

6. In previous years I would have given it a 7 or even an 8, but we're getting used to exciting races now.

The first lap was thrilling. The Webber-Hamilton reprise of Villeneuve-Arnoux was good, but I wasn't greatly enthused by the rest of their battle. Button-Rosberg was fun for a couple of minutes.

[Born Racer]

For me, seven.

Whilst Yeongam is no Suzuka, I found it more entertaining than last week. Perhaps the focus on the inevitable S.Vettel championship detracted from that for me. Today was a Grand Prix, and a fairly good one.

[blaffer]

5.
Apart from the duel between Webber and Hamilton, it was a pretty boring race.

[Paradise City]

The sandwich filling that was the Webber/Hamilton battle was fraught. A six.

[stripedcat]

8 from me. The Webber/Hamilton scrap was amasing. Likewise with Rosberg holding off the Ferraris. Plus Perez as well.

That sums it up for me, too.

Live timing does help a lot because you can keep track of things the cameras and even the commentators miss.

[Peralta]

I was hoping for the rain that never showed up. Oh well some good scraps but I give it a 5. What was the attendance for the weekend because it looked horrible on tv. Let's get a race in Mexico. We can show the world our passsion for motor sport.

I'm starting to come up with a theory that the rating a race gets here depends on the time slot it fills in Europe. Get used to it this is a World Championship and they can't all be broadcast live in your timeslot.
In many ways thw Webber Hamilto duel was the sort of classic we used to think only happened once every couple of seasons. Kers and DRS both worked to give opportunity to overtake without ever making it a certainty, and the unexpected tyre life gave it an air of uncertainty to late in proceedings.
Gave it an 8

I live in London and got up to watch it live. A start to a good morning's sport followed by the second RFU World Cup semi-final.

Watched the same match live and I'm going to rate that event as a disaster.

Fairenough but an interesting match nontheless.

[Mekola]

6. The Webber-Hamilton duel and the performance of Alguersuari were islands of good watching in a boring race.

[dsg]

A thoroughly enjoyable race. 8

[Wims]

Its interesting to note the wide range of ratings for this race

[MagnetON]

5, meh!

[steve_r]

7 from me. Some good racing, and the battle for second was intense.
