Again drama and spectacle. 7.

8 for me.

now if they just lower ticket prices (reduce sanctioning fees) and make viewing it more accessible over different media then more people would be able to see how good this season has really been!

8 from me - felt that leaving Sutil's car out there without throwing a Safety Car was an error - and it would have made it a lot more interesting at the end.....but overall lots of close racing and determination in spades

Can't imagine what our voter who gave it "2" actually expects from a motor race

I loved the race. I've watched it twice now and am definitely up for a third viewing.

The circuit looked more interesting than I remembered and it struck me how narrow it was compared to many a modern circuit. I think the right blend of corners and wider entries to tightening corners appears to contribute to good racing; I could be talking rubbish there, though.

Either way, it is commendable that the stewards let the drivers get on with and sort it out. No penalties (or even investigations!). And no safety car after that initial probably inevitable one (or could even that have been covered under yellow?). That contributes to my fine score of 9.

I love how the stewards let them get on with it. No penalties for Vettel for being a bit dramatic going into Raikkonen, nothing to Kvyat for too stern a defence turning in on Perez, nothing to either Massa or Magnussen for a typical first-corner thing (although if I had to call it I'd say there's not a lot Kev did wrong and Massa shouldn't have cut in like that) and nothing to Hamilton for bumping into Button, Raikkonen and anyone else he got close and personal with.

Didn't Raikkonen get bashed up
