[Official] Rate the Race : Brazilian GP

[Bononi]

Rate the race...

[brands]

Pretty dull, felt even worse given 3 days of hype about it going to rain.

[G.Walker]

5 - alonso an button passes the highlight

[JeremySmith]

Very boring race, I was rather surprised as I expected much more...

[Marbot]

Gave it a 7. Some interesting stuff going on there, I thought.

[johntt]

6 - An interesting race and one at a very good track, although having no championship on the line nor any rain made it a bit dull in places.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Not the best race nor the worst. Though rather processional, it had a couple of moments and I find in a way it's refelective of the whole season, with much expectation before the race, possibly rain intervening and eventually not living up to what might have been. 6

[JeremySmith]

I gave this race a 5, at one of my favourite tracks..

The problem is not with the track....

[chunterer]

One of the least entertaining Interlagos GP's since, well since the Brazilian GP left Rio!!

Wrong place to put the DRS, the main stretch was the place to put it! But the organisers felt with justification beforehand that the main stretch always sees overtaking into T1 anyway.

6 enjoyable, but no classic.

[Aysedasi]

5.

If only it had rained.......

[stripedcat]

I gave it a 3. Tough I know, but I felt it was a snorefest! A shame as the track is so good. I was expecting some more racing. Alonso and Button provided some entertainment, plus Rosberg as well, but it didn't really excite me.

[Ingsy]

A bit dull. Some potential excitment with Button towards the end. 6/10.

[Born Racer]

It was okay. Five. But six because it's Interlagos.

[Sodemo]

I gave it a 3 and that was generous I feel. No excitement, no drama, however the Schu + Senna touches were entertaining for a brief moment.

I did fall asleep for a very short time but woke again. Put on the Man City game to save my sanity.

[TrapezeArtist]

I've got to agree with Born Racer. If it had been on a tilkedrome, I'd probably have given it a 5. But at Interlagos, it got a 7 from me.

So what makes Interlagos so good?
It's natural. The track goes where it goes because it has to. It wasn't created on CAD.
It looks nice. There are plenty of tarmac run-offs yet you don't get the impression the drivers are just following some painted lines across a car park.
There's some serious gradient there.
Brazilian passion.

I wished it had rained as much as it rained (and still is) here...

5. Button inject a bit of excitement. Lousy race otherwise.

[Mekola]

8. Interlagos. Webber. Massa.

[Pingguest]

4 - A dull race, despite all artificial rules to 'spice up' the racing. Was again it became clear excitement cannot be stipulated.

If we have cars that 'we know' are 'regulated' to be faster on the straights but slower in the corners vs cars that are 'regulated' to be faster in the corners but are then slower on the straights, then 'we know' that not only is it going to be very predictable, but also very artificial in that 'we know' each car is artificially limited in some way.

F1 is about reaching the pinnacle in 'all' aspects of F1 car design allowed by any regulations.

[Steven Humphrey]

5 from me - I slept through the majority of it & when I was awake, the order seemed to stay the same! Shame as it's a classic track.

[GT6]

not the most exciting of races but gave it a 5

[henners88]

Races don't come much duller although I think my 1 was abit harsh in hindsight. At least Senna provided abit of excitement so perhaps a 3 on reflection.

[Pitstop]

6 for me - rain would have livened it up a bit!
