[Official] Rate the Race : Brazilian GP

[Bononi]

Rate the race...

[Adam43]

Ruined only by the incessant talk of team or orders or the lack of them. Oh, and the trophy!

The Hulk and SC spiced it up, but there was some good racing all down the field.
It wasn't in proper HD, but it looked better than normal too. Bring on proper HD.

Oil. It represents the oil reserves recently discovered by PETROBRAS that will make the country one of the top producers of the world, a new era has begun...









...and I gave it 7.

Yep. It is the developing country. Opportunities galore, more than China maybe.

6.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Gave it 5. It rather processional even before the pitstops. The safety car spiced things up and maybe would have given it more if the WDC had been decided.

[chunterer]

7: plenty to do and see but massaged a bit later on by the intervention of the SLS.

[Teretonga]

An intesting race because of the tension in the championship but as a race a procession up front, spiced up in the early laps by hulkenberg's pole and gradually filter down the field, and later by the safety car.

I gave it a six, but without the Hulk's pole and the safety car it would have been nothing so a 6 is reasonably generous.

5. Disappointing for Interlagos. Some action but mostly of the scrappy kind like Massa and Sutil going off, as opposed to satisfying battles.

[ASCII Man]

4, watching paint dry would've been infinitely more exciting.

Would've been a 2 if it wasn't for a Williams pole.

And that came to nothing.

[Wims]

For me it was a 3. Literally nothing happened at all. One of the most boring races this season. Might have been a 2. It was terrible

[Aysedasi]

Strangely, I gave it a seven. I stayed awake - just - that earns it 4 for starters. Quite entertaining, I thought - seriously better than Korea, despite the fact that everyone seems to give races more points just because it rains......

[Pingguest]

7 - Some good racing and excitement of what Red Bull were going to do.

[Lancsbreaker]

I gave it 7 too, despite it being largely processional at the front - some of the mid-field battles (that we saw) livened things up a bit - enough to keep me awake, and Jenson livened things up a bit at times....

[dyewat808]

6 - Not much happened, but interesting to watch just to see whether WDC would be decided or not.

Something else - would it be worth looking at this year's "Rate the Race" threads to see what the average score was?


...


Or is that a bit sad?

6 says it all

I didn't much close racing. There was Hulkenberg being overtaken at the beginning by the other front runners but after that it was a procession until the SC came out, which bunches the field.

[GT6]

gave it a 5, did not live up to expectations but better than some recent races

[Super Hans]

I gave it a 6 - I just couldn't get into it today.

[Duff_44]

I gave it a 6.

Pretty processional up front, most of the battles for position were further back. 1st-4th were pretty much know after the 1st pit stops.

It gets a higher rank than most processional races because it's Interlagos. Where anything can happen and it usually does. Just didn't happen today.

[Sodemo]

I thought that the race was better than most this year. It went a bit dull in the middle, but the first 20 laps were good and the last 15 were entertaining thanks to the safety car.

I would agree with that, so I'm going for a 7.

[chillibowl]

gave it an 8.

almost forgot what racing in the dry is like. lots of midfield action, tension at the front, timely safety car, and ultimately a proper race with each championship contender forced to deal with events on their own kept me engaged and entertained the whole time.

another race where access to live timing and track position telemetry added an extra dimension of awesome.

my one regret is that Sir Frank Williams was not on hand for saturday.
