Just 1.

That is NOT how racing should be.

You are right. This is as awful as the 1986 Australian GP.

Thank goodness there were some unexpected failures and safety cars. Saved the race from being a total snorefest.

Not the most exciting race I've ever seen and certainly not the most exciting race this season. The last lap punctures elevated the race from 3 to 4.

Poor Valtteri, the race rating dropped for me because of devastating disappointment. It would have been cooler if two Mercs crossed the line on failed tires. I will give it a 7 based on the mayhem at the end of the race.

It was pretty normal Silverstone stuff really. OK.

And then Pirelli lit it up. Was shaking during that last lap.

6/10.

I didn't think it was so poor. Lots of little bits of action and interest. It would have been a 5 but the last 5 minutes pushed it up to a 6.

There was battling through the midfield, which is close anyway, and also helped by Grosjean’s different pit call.

And yes, when something dramatic happens it does make it more exciting. That’s sport.

No, I’m not wanting punctures all the time. Or bad things. That’s not the point being made.

They are a crucial element and over the years I've seen the outcome of a race determined by the tyres.

I quite enjoyed it because Silverstone is such a sweeping circuit to enjoy witnessing an F1 car around and there were some tense battles. Glad Ocon finally got past Stroll. 7.

It is a good track, isn’t it. You can really stretch the legs of these cars there. 145mph average.

I gave it an overall 8, but obviously by comparison with everyone else on here, I'm easily satisfied.The mid-race train was continually interesting even if not super-exciting. Then it all went crazy at the end. I wouldn't want every race to have some silly drama like that, but once in a while it adds to the spectacle.
