8. Great battle for the lead, great recovery from Vettel, a bit of incident and plenty of interest for third with Valterri and Max. Oh and Kimi fighting for a win again

After doing 16 and a half hours in the safety car at Rockingham for the C1 Challenge 24 Hour Race and 2 hours sleep, I sat down to watch the race last night.

I fell asleep after 6 laps, but that wasn't because the race was boring, it was just that I was knackered! So on the basis of 6 laps and Hamilton bamboozling Vettel off the start: 8.

It was not a Renault failure, as confirmed by Renault.... it was a clutch failure. Red Bull provide their own gearbox / clutch.

After watching the replay, I give it an 8!

"Cracking" race indeed. Cracking being the key word.

8

Good racing through the field on a track that's usually one of the worst on the calendar. These new cars sine 2017 have proven they can be raced with better than the previous generation. 9/10.

Same here, although that was from getting up really early to watch the rest of the recording of the race

I only have access to the FOM hour-long highlights package. Hard to really track the race due to big gaps in the coverage from this one but still plenty going on through the race. 7 from me.

I was riveted, truly great driving from Kimi, Lewis and Valtteri on a beautiful and iconic circuit. This was almost "old school" racing DRS didn't ruin it and silly moves were harshly punished so clean driving rewarded. Shame Hartley got in a jam again.
Seb had enough room not to hit Lewis and Max could've accepted that he'd been caught transgressing (again).
