We have never seen a single good race at Abore Bhorebi. Not one. Yet it keeps coming back so we can vote it as one of the dullest races of the year. Despite the non-Merc win, it's probably up there with the Valencia races in terms of boredom. 2/10.

1/10 Even when Max passes Bottas in gp victories. Ten to nine.

How can this race be featured on a lay-out that has proven for the last 10 years not to work?

I give it a 2, for at least some overtakes here and there.

2 as Mercedes didn't win.. that's it.

I think that being the season finale during a time of domination hasn't helped this circuit.. it always seems as if everyone's motivation is at rock bottom when we arrive.

It is a bad layout though..

Surely, whatever Sheikh is running this, can not be satisfied with how these races unfold? (Certainly considering smaller brother Bahrain is quickly turning into a fan favorite)

Worst overall race of the year. But I gave it a 2 for the first race where another car actually outraced/outpaced the Mercedes in dry conditions.

Abu Dhabi is a #2.

2. Truly boring and processional. It didn't even have an accident on the first lap. But...at least it wasn't a Mercedes 1-2 and Ocon bumped Stroll down a place on the last lap, knocking him out of the top ten.

Dreadful race. I fell asleep very early in the race and watched it on replay this morning.

Scored it a generous 2, one point each for Merc not winning and another for things like the KImi/Leclerc dice and Stroll getting passed on the last lap. Had Albon passed Hamilton on the last lap I might have given a bonus point but it was not to be.

I gave it a 1, I will keep that race and when I can't sleep, I have the perfect thing to help with that. Boring was the word I would use for that.

1 and 2 neck and neck. I gave it a 1.5, rounded down because the track is just so awfully dull.

This last race has been a hall of shame of the worst that 2020 f1 season has offered.

- no real racing with only few drs passes
- crappy tracks in parking lots/desert
- bogus tyres that last forever
- tyre management modes races

I prefer Valencia.

2/10 from me
