[Official] Rate the Grand Prix: Russian Grand Prix 2016

[Born Racer]

How do you rate the Russian Grand Prix?

[CTD]

Rubbish driving from some, amazing from others.
Kvyat and Magnussen being at each end of the scale.

I really enjoyed the battle from 7th to 11th.

3. I felt extremely angry just after Vettel's angry team radio.

[Razor]

Ok drive. Hamilton's drive was great. Felt sorry for Seb. What was Dani thinking?

[Adam43]

Dreadful. Did you see that there was a battle with four cars in it. Four, that it?

1/10. F1 must try harder.

6 . Just a middle of the road GP for me. A couple late race mid pack close-ins was good. First lap shenanigans provided
for some interesting problem solving.

That had the potential to be a really good race. The Williams were up there on the grid. Raikkonen and Ricciardo were also in the mix and there was the anticipation of a bit of charge, with both Vettel and Hamilton having to start from 7th and 10th respectively. Unfortunately it was not to be.

Vettel was punted up the rear, not once but twice by Kvyat, ending his race on lap 1. Hamilton and Raikkonen were fairly true to form but the Williams sort of faded, deciding to finish 4th and 5th. There were a few battles further down the field, otherwise the race wasn't exceptional, apart from the McLaren's finishing in the top 10 for the first time in a while. Haas found their form again.

Not the greatest of races but still entertaining gave it a five

[Wims]

Pretty bad race, I gave it a 3

[sparkione]

However good or bad the race(s) is or are, those of us who are not inclined to contribute to Uncle Rupe's piggy bank are saddled with the inane Channel Four coverage, complete with intrusive, CBeebies-style adverts and that ludicrous faux teddy-boy presenter. To my own amazement, I now find myself yearning for the return of that dumb piece of totty who fronted the Beebs's coverage. Even Eddie Jordan, God help us...

3/10 Too hard to overtake, not as charming as Monaco. Barely see any fight or overtaking because everyone is busy blaming someone.

Now this is a Grand Prix I'd like to see the back of. 3/10

[bjohnsonsmith]

On reflection, I think 5 was generous.

[GTRMagic]

It was okay... the fruity language from Mr Vettel... his passion.. may have been the highlight however..

Yes F1 is complete rubbish I agree ..😊

[Paradise City]

The start and the battle for 8th place was entertaining. Vettel's reaction was quite funny. I was interested in seeing how Hambo would salvage the race. Nice to see Alonso do something with his Mc. But, yeah, sure, overall the race was underwhelming. So - 5.

[Grandpa_Rob]

7 some close battles down the list but boring in parts.

[wnut]

Gave it a 3 after some pillock pretty well ruined the race in turns 2 and 3.

[mikestow]

Once again,some great moments by the kids,apart from some rookie behaviour by the young Russian at his home Grand Prix.Yes !Tough for Vettell but his memories must be going,as it was not long ago that at Torro Rosso he was known as the "Crasher Kid",so I think it is a bit of the what comes around goes around!!!Excellent results for Renault and good that Haas still gets a nice result.Vestappen would have been right up there,had he not had his problem.Unreliability at this stage of the Engine Developement underlines the need for further driverbility and braking issues to be sorted out!Good results for the other Teams,but the lack of a race between the two Mercs and Vettell ruined what would have been a possible barnstormer!!

[chillibowl]

lots of little things i found both interesting and irritating both of which served to keep me engaged. solid 6.

[Mekola]

As Rosberg's number. 6.

[TrapezeArtist]

I must be easily satisfied: 7. Thought about giving it 8. (Well, I enjoyed it!)

[Neil22]

Gave it a 5, so so race. Caught the rerun on the Spanish station, gave those announcers a 10.

[smellysocks]

A boring one stop procession. 3/10

[steve_r]

6 it was OK. The opening lap shenanigans shuffled the pack quite considerable, which meant that several drivers were recovering through the race, and that added to the spectacle. I cant see this track ever serving up a classic.
