8/10. Excellent to have a battle for the lead position.
Surprising to see a relatively 'tame' midfield battle.

Lol at Vettel.

8. Great race both at the front and for 4-10th. Would have been better if Bottas could have done something other that trail around in third.

8/10. Verstappen actually forced Mercedes to sweat some for the win.

Bonus content for Tsunoda's result and Vettel looking like a complete tool.

The race was actually better than I expected.

10/10! When was the last time we have seen so much battling for the win? Marvelous race with less then a second between the both of them!

7. It could have been 8, but I'm protesting the 1am start. Boo hiss.

More seriously, there were some 15-20 laps towards the end (before the last 10 laps) when not much happened. That was a struggle.

But what happened either end of that was rather good.

Indeed. Coulda' been Max's but he pitched in the bin.

Lewis coulda' lost but he maintained composure.

Suspense supreme.

9. Brilliant race. Only 1 point off as the lead changed in the pits instead of on track (even though a pass was attempted).
There was also fantastic racing through the whole field. Only wish we could have seen more from Vettel and Alonso.
Also need the 2nd RedBull to be in the action. That 2nd car seems to be cursed.
More of this please!

I scored it an 8.... had to take off a point just so I have leeway in case we (hopefully) get something better and another point off for the ridiculous situation over track limits.
A great race though particularly the latter half. I like it when different strategies play out with the see-saw effect on the outcome.
Of course we had a bit of humour in the first part of the race as well with the two Haas drivers doing their thing.
Sadly it is unlikely the next race will be as good. But live in hope.

Race exhibited refreshing change at the front. I applaud that.

- The end of happiness -

Race was also demonstration of wrongs which should be denounced by everyone who loves to see more than just two cars in action. I am not impressed by F1 management filling up a grid with cars which are unquestionably unprepared to race. Why we should applaud pretences we have testing session dubbing as a race? Why we should be happy with Ferrari declaring they are just about to stop ancillary racing activities and focusing on 2022? Are we always going to live for next year, rather than deal with life we have today? Tommorrow is important in planning, but it can't be more important than today.

Brawn has very little reason to glow about the race.

Atrocious.

Why we should be happy with shoddy stewardship? (Not that that's something new in the F1).

I have a lot on my mind associated with words like shameful... but I will stop right here.

Race is 6 for reasons stated above.

It's complicated, and only a few like to go beyond headlines, but I do understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. I will however address one comment in you response:
"It's not managements job to fill the grid with competitive cars. It's the teams respnonsiblity."
My turn - if so, then get management out of the way, so people can actually discharge said responsibility. (Just a wild thought.)
