[Official] Rate the Brazilian GP

[Bononi]

Rate the race where a new champion was crowned !

[crmalcolm]

Can't find any fault with the race at all.

In modern F1, I don't think it can be bettered.

Indeed. After the last two races, ones that left a foul taste in my mouth, a good race like this was certainly needed.

Good show! I gave it a 9.

[Sodemo]

Better than most this year, but lost its excitement in the last 25 or so laps.

For the first 8 laps it deserved a 10, but it didn't last.

Got a 7 from me, a decent race.

[ralf fan]

8. Much better the dross recently.

[Bononi]

Interlagos is always a great show, no surprises though being where it is !

[Hawkwood]

I find the excitement never normally lasts longer than the first 10 laps anyway, but it was enjoable and held my attention for longer than most. 8/10.

Indeed. If only all the tracks had the originality that Interlagos provides. Too many soulless tracks these days.

9 from me... not quite a 10 due to a few quiet moments, but there was some great overtaking, quality defending, and some dramatic moments. Throroughly entertaining.

[crmalcolm]

I find it strange that people feel the race lost excitement after 10 laps.

14 through 17 - the interesting pace duel between Barichello and Webber,
22 - Hamilton battling Barichello,
22 through 24 - Button competing with Kobayashi,
31 - the Japanese incident,
34 - Button passes Buemi,
38 - Vettel loses out in the pits,
42 - Hamilton almost loses it in the pit exit,
55 through 56 - Button loses out to Vettel in the pits, and ends up behind Kovalainen,
62 - Barichello passed by Hamilton, and gains a puncture,
68 - The tension of possible rain from Button's radio,
71 - A new World Champion is crowned!

9. If every F1 race could be like that nobody would ever complain. Lots of battles, quite a bit of good overtaking, strategy... brilliant.

[brands hatch]

Having only watched the highlights, a 9 from me

[JeremySmith]

Brilliant race with lot's of overtaking...I gave it a 10

[Jam35]

10. That was a *race*.

[Marbot]

9. A great race...with overtaking and stuff! And next season it's the final race in the championship.

[Dutton]

A strong 8 from me. Thoroughly entertaining.

[GORDON STREETER]

Well I didn't need digging in the ribs from the other half this time! Entertaining all the way from qualifying to the end of the race. I wonder how much Jenson paid Hammy to cause the puncture ?
I gave it a 9 but I should have given it a 10 compared with most of the others !

[Oscar114]

Excellent race, most entertaining this season.

9 out of 10 for me.

[steve88]

best race of the year , had overtaking , pit lane incidents and some great battles between drivers right thru the field gave it a nine

[Mr V]

Best race of the season so far!

[Steven Humphrey]

8 from me, the only real complaint being a lack of battle for the lead

[Joe Taylor]

9

A proper race on a proper track.

[ukaskew]

A 10 for me, I don't think it can get much better than that in modern F1. Having 3 or 4 quick cars towards the back of the grid helped, after this season I imagine that will happen a lot less.

To be fair, Barrichello was complaining about a vibration from the rear before Hamilton got near him. Did they actually touch?

And correct me if I'm wrong but it wouldn't have made a difference anyway, he wasn't enough places ahead to keep the championship alive.

They both seemed fine anyhow, Rubens said he and Hamilton had a good chat after and apologised to each other for a couple of close moments against the wall etc, nice to hear to born racers with plenty of respect for each other.
