What can I say? It was one of the best dry races I have ever seen.

I almost feel like Charles losing the race means we should deduct a point from the final result, because it certainly would have made it even more incredible, but I'll keep the extra point in.

It was a good race. Not great. 7 points.

I thought it was a great race.... the opening laps were excellent with dices all over.
Gutted for Leclerc though. At least he kept his head when Vettel didnt!
I gave it an 8.

Lots of fun racing up and down the field with some great overtakes, so a 7 or 8 seems fair.

I think we should have a driver of the day vote to honour Leclerc's stunning weekend which should have been pole fastest lap and the win. . :wink:

He’s saving his first win for GP 1000, that claim has a nice ring to it

Rounded my 7.5 up to an 8, stuff going on almost everywhere. This track has a thing for creating good races.

It was a good race with a lot of excitement. A point less for the usual pirelli bs who said before the race that the one stopper was the fastest strategy

Scroll back to the early days of this forum and we'd spend every race complaining about how awful this circuit was. Now I look forward to it every year.

I still think the place is awful. But the race delivers.

I believe it helps it's a relatively straight-forward circuit, 15 corners with like 2 kinks? That's way better than some of the later Tilkedroms with 22 corners of madness like in Korea.
