Other than the predictability of P1 and P2, I think it was a really good race from P3 down to about P14 and I didn't feel bored for one moment.
It won't go down as a classic, but I think it deserves a 6 or 7/10. I'll give it a 6 for the predictable 1-2.

I will go one better with a 7.... a bonus point for Yuki getting a point at home as he continues to outperform and make Danny look a little silly. Surely Danny is no longer in the thought of a Max teamate given the options RB have with Lawson, Carlos and indeed Sertgio. I enjoyed it quite a lot.... the different strategies and the fact it was all go, from pitlane to the track. Some great passes, and just the one DRS zone is a refreshing change. The passing today shows we dont need a million DRS zones if the track is right for the cars.

8 points. Many passes, good points for Carlos and Yuki. Lance FINALLY opens his mouth about the lack of pace. Sadly, he is looking in the wrong way.

8/10
I like Suzuka. Max winning, with Carlos (raise a glass, gentlemen) following are just cherries on top.
Mere nine cars (45%) on a lead lap speaks loudly to unresolved issues F1 has despite all so called "cost cutting" measures.
Williams - I am not sure what they are doing in this series. Sauber at least agreed to sell the team.
Yuki and Nico both deserve honorable mention.
Hamilton - pesky competition is no fun.

6. Samey, but at least some on-track action.
Another one that won't be remembered some next Tuesday.

I will give this one a 5. It was actually a pretty good race except for the two Red Bulls driving off in the distance. I would rate the season a 2.

Red flag seemed to go on FOREVER. But the race was decent. I like that teams were trying different strategies.
And it's about time Sergio learned to drive the RB in qualifying. But the predictable 1-2 makes this 7 feel overly generous.

6 out of 10 for me. Different tyre strategies made it interesting even though we finished with another Red Bull 1-2. The fact that this is probably the best race of the season so far is saying a lot unfortunately.
