[Official] Rate the Grand Prix: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023

What's your score?

[bathurst77]

I went 6. I enjoyed it.
There wasnt a lot of action but perhaps I was in the right mood, it kept me interested

[bjohnsonsmith]

That was one of the most boring races I've ever seen and found myself getting distracted. There were a couple of moments, so it's 2 rather 1.

[chillibowl]

probably more of a vote for the whole weekend, but after a month long break i am at thankful that there were a lot of sessions under race conditions.

none of it particularly mind blowing (Alonso on Sainz at turn 6 was about it) but in a way there was always something going on.

7

A cautious 5 from me. Didn't hold my attention as much as Baku has previously, and the management of the pit lane at the very end was horrendous.

[TheMightyM]

3. Boring.

[GT6]

a very generous 2 from me, even the highlights were hard to watch

[Aysedasi]

A generous 4, 2 of which were for Checo beating Max with nothing Max could do about it and another 1 for teamwork by Aston Martin - very refreshing. So a 1 really..... Exceptionally dull.

[steve_r]

6 from me. Whilst it lacked in terms of proper battles, and it lacked in many ways, it was intense and kept my attention. RBR to ther credit let their drivers go for it, when it may have been tempting to call them off.

4
That’s being kind.More sub 5’s to come with this level of domination I fear.Longing for the good old days of 2021.

[Tourer]

6 from me - plenty of intensity (although precessional periods too) and the non-DRS passes from Verstappen and Alonso in particular were pretty fine. Do enjoy this circuit though, including all the wall-brushes ("whispers" & "kisses") that raise doubts over damage.

[morninggents]

A 3. Negatives - street circuit; DRS; boring. Positives - erm, erm, oh yes, Ferrari on the up.

[S griffin]

4. Had the ingredients for a good race, but there was no competition to the Red Bulls and it showed. At least we had a few battles through the field and Ferrari are back up where they should be.

[Born Racer]

4 - somehow held my attention. I agree with others that it was somehow intense, and it also lacked steward intervention, which was nice (no penalties) and yet what made it flat was the DRS Red Bull rocket ship and Pérez getting a free SC pass.

The final point actually saved it for me......

[Badlands99]

A 2 from me ...... and that was up from a '0' just for that spoilt, hypocritical brat, Max not winning!

[brands]

Watched the recording of the F2 feature and the GP this morning and both were dire.

A generous 2.

Luckily I got my motorsport fix yesterday with some proper racing at Donington.

Seeing Max worked up provided me with some petty pleasure.

But after watching Indycar from Barber Motorsports Park just now, I want to drop another point from my Rate the GP score!

[Aysedasi]

You only have to watch virtually any of the races from the recent Goodwood Members' Meeting to drop loads of points from your rate the GP.... If only they would introduce DRS to historic racing.....

[S griffin]

Yes, Goodwood always offers up action, helps with their historic cars. But hopefully F1 will get better and we can get rid of DRS before too long
