I mostly enjoyed it. It wasn't the greatest race, but not bad.

5/10

4 for me. This race was all strategies and pirelli. Now tell how is possible that bottas on new softs couldn t go faster then hamilton on old mediums. And why hamilton could not pass vettel on old mediums while he was on new softs.

#3

No vote. Skipped the race mostly. Bathurst vote: 9/10

Hamilton's soft tyres were 9 laps old when he put them on. And the Ferrari is the fastest car in a straight line.

I give the race a 5/10.

I'll have to think about this some more.

There were a fair few passes throughout the field, but the TV director didn't catch the bulk of them.

I will vote when I have seen the race in full... My focus was more on Bathurst while the GP was on although the was showing on my computer in front of me, the TV was right next to it.

7. Brillian passing by LeClerc coming through the field and a couple nice ones throughout. But all strategy up front.
It would have been a better race had they let Hamilton stay out on Mediums and try to defend against Bottas on fresher tires. At least we would have seen the leader challenged. Each time the leader was by himself out there. Merc killed all hopes of a really good race when they pitted Hamilton.

there were so many overtakes, yet the race failed to intrigue me. 5/10.

Finally caught up. Went 4 as up front wasn't as dynamic as it could have been. The midfield battles were good however.
