[Official] Rate the Grand Prix: French Grand Prix 2022

[Born Racer]

What score do you give it?

[Greem]

I gave it 6 but due to the poll being disordered managed to choose 9.

6 for the race up to lap 48. 9 for the last five laps

Eight. It was exciting, without too much artificial induced excitement. Like too many safety cars, track limit penalties, etc. Sainz' charge from the back was brilliant.

Overall that was better a race compared to recent GPs at Paul Ricard. However, it was a shame Leclerc went off. I felt the race became a little deflated because of that, as I was hoping for a good battle between Ferrari/Leclerc and Red Bull/Verstappen. 7

As for the event itself, there were huge crowds for both Qualifying and the race. Liberty seriously need to consider whether they should get rid of the French GP.

A 6.

Why is the poll disordered? That was also the case for Austria (and not before IIRC)
I see no benefit and find that rather disturbing and annoying :/

Or is there a good reason for doing that? If it was announced I must have missed it...

[Aysedasi]

7 for me. I enjoyed it (highlights) far more than Austria. Unlike most people it seems, I don't hate Ricard.....

7. I dont really like the look of the track, the awful paint everywhere.

But the race was very good. Some absolultely great battles. I think that the LeClerc crash actually robbed us of apotential classic. Imagine him and Verstappen going at it like Russell & Perez & Sainz.

It's good to be able to go back to giving a race an 8. I was enthralled. I agree with steve_r though, those stupid painted stripes are an annoying distraction. With the race apparently under threat perhaps Liberty could offer a deal: "Get rid of the stripes and you can keep the race".

6. Not as great as the last two, but still enough going on to keep us watching. Some good battling towards the end

[GT6]

Ok race but not worth more than 6

[AndreasDavour]

Who creates these polls? The jumbled order has now been confirmed to create votes cast in error. Also, it's really hard to read the results. Please sort it correcly, whomever it is.


I have it an 8. Maybe a bit generous, but I felt the battle at the front and lower down the ranks was quite good. Maybe somewhat ruined by Leclerc going off, but I can watch Carlos Sainz go through the field any day of the week.

[Neil22]

6 for me.

[Richard Casto]

I gave it a three to reflect the random order of the poll. Seriously I thought it was very boring other than a few moment at the end.

[chillibowl]

not much higher for me. gave it a 4.

while there have been some very fun races this season the boring ones really stand out across this already too long calendar...12 soon to be 13 races in 4 months!

to each their own of course and a younger me probably would have loved all this content, but for me now its way too much and increasingly becoming harder to find anything new or interesting to say about the proceedings.

ironic i suppose but the more there is to watch the less there is to talk about?

[AndreasDavour]

Considering we have had some real stinkers this season (and I am totally in agreement the season is too long), I am actually a bit surprised some of you have voted so low.


I think we had some fine driving done by the Merc drivers, and it was quite interesting to see how high Sainz could get through the field. If you focus on the front of the field, I also feel we had some interesting laps up until Leclerc put it in the wall. Sure, it was a bummer when it ended, but until then it was interesting to see whose tyres would last.


Well, at least that was how I felt it.
