What a debacle. Everything that is wrong with modern F1. Hamilton wins again.
Why does this pole not have a zero? |

Where the hell are you coming from? The best GP for years – LH coming from 6th on the grid, in dreadful conditions, staking his claim to be one of the greatest drivers of all time and his 7th world title. "Everything that is wrong with modern F1" – Excuse me, WTF do you want? The man's a genius, and F1 should be thankful for his presence.

Not really a race today, but plenty of entertainment and some great drives for some and really poor ones from others gave race a 9

Well lets just say the conditions made it a different race, not a normal race

I know a lot of people watch F1 (in part) for the spectacle of cars being at the limit of performance and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. In other threads (and not to rake over the arguments) people criticise races when the result is about 'managing' something. Whether that is the life of the tyres, or the fuel saving etc. Many put forward the case that they want drivers to be at 100% at all times. The conditions this weekend meant that it was a very difficult situation to drive under, and many were having to give 100%, but in a different way. Is short-shifting and cornering wide from the apex more fun to watch because it is done due to track conditions, as opposed to fuel-saving and tyre preservation? As an exception to the normal I would say yes - but as a standard way to drive an F1 car then I would say no. |

Enthralling. Incident filled. Unpredictable. Lots of race leaders. Last corner battle, Champion Drive by a legend.

I'm obviously in a minority in voting 8, but although its entertaining, I'm not sure the randomness of the conditions necessarily make it a better race. Maybe I'm just a bit bitter and twisted because my partner caught the lunchtime news and told me Lewis had won........I don't like knowing the result before I watch it, although there was plenty of action and unforeseen ups and downs.....

I think the circuit 'shake up' has been of huge benefit too. A blessing in disguise....

The lack of DRS for most of the race was a bonus as far as I'm concerned. |

I think it was that which caught Leclerc out on the final lap, he was too quick through the back straight through 11 into 12, so due to other cars ended up slightly out of position for 12, missed the braking point for both 12 and 13 by a country mile and lost the podium as a result. That said - when Hamilton was on the radio during his stint following Vettel you could see how much his car was affected by the wake wash off the Ferrari. Every time he moved out from behind it, the car perceptibly slowed or looked twitchy. Aerodynamics, huh? |

Whenever we get tyres that don’t last, rain, resurfaced tracks, old tracks, new tracks, double races, short weekends, etc... it is brilliants. Admittedly if we had one of these every weekend it was cease to be interesting and fun eventually as it would be repetitive and the teams would get a handle on it all. Change things round and at short notice to keep everyone on their toes. So everyone, this weekend you have to run soft on the front and hard on the back. Or we’ll tell you where the race is this weekend when we get to the airport. |
