5.

Not great, but not the worst either. JB provided a bit of entertainment, as did Max. There was a bit of intrigue strategy-wise too which prevented it from being a total snooze fest.

The fireworks were nice too. An extra mark for them.

5. Admittedly, it was anti-climatic, but I suppose Vettel, Verstappen, Bottas, Button and Kimi gave us some entertainment. The sparks under the night sky are good as well. Plus, as mentioned - the fireworks.

Not a great race, had assumed everyone would have given it the full beans but at times it looked like some cars were being driven to the museum rather than in a race. so gave it a 3

Enjoyed the first lap, the next 54 were dull and boring.

5 - after the frantic opening lap or two, not much excitement. Mercedes cock-up/conspiracy on pit-stop strategy screwed any chance of a proper race for first place, and Ferrari's cock-up in qualy screwed Vettel's chance of fighting for 3rd or higher......

Dull end to the season.

Typical Abu Dhabi, maybe slightly better than usual. Strategy intrigue for Mercs, but the main action happened behind the top three. Score could have been higher if the top three weren't racing in other words

It doesn't help that this was the last race, of a very long season and with both Championships decided. It seemed like it was time to get the season overwith and go home.

I thought the coloured lines around the track were very pretty!

Oh! Was there a race as well?

Every thing about Abu Dhabi is so false that I could not possibly comment.

Some big boats in the marina.

Did Ben Edwards mention that Lewis Hamilton won the World Championship?

I have been on to my local supermarket and we are planning to hire Herman Tilke to paint a circuit on the car park ready for a race next season.

Now how about a vote on which country has the nicest coloured lines around the track, Russia, USA, Abu Dhabi ?????????????????????

Nothing to do at the front. The only interest was in the midfield as usual.

Agreed....

I can't help but wonder if that main straight would produce more overtakes if the cars were quicker onto it? I.E. get rid of that mickey mouse dog leg & hairpin and have them run from turn 2-3 straight down to the corner where 6 (hairpin) is now.
