Good battles midfield. Bottas showing he will never be a WDC, but is a good driver in a great car. Max showing he is top class in a good car. Sadly Lewis is top class in a great car.

6. It was basically a race between three cars.

As I said elsewhere on the forum, it had it moments but just not enough of them. Borderline tedious at times. I gave it a 3.

6. We had passing for the lead on the track. But it was missing a little something as it was just the top 2 teams and the RBR was not really able to challenge the Mercedes on even terms.

I have no memory of the race, despite having just watched the replay not half an hour ago.

4.

Well, in the positive column, we had a lead pass, and a couple for second. (And a pass for 17th or whatever :P.)

Otherwise, that was by far the worst race of the season. I could remember a few races last year. This one I'll struggle with beyond today. I mean, the scenery is nice... During the race I looked up Airbnb places at Algarve and it looks lovely :P. But Greece looks better, so there's also that!

2/10.

I'm long past having any faith in Bottas being anything more than a walking bye. With Red Bull being closer to Merc this season, he can't even keep Verstappen behind him anymore.

Race was largely uneventful and boring.

Not impossible over the next 60 years :P.

Not sure I'd bother going to a GP at this track regardless though.

6. I felt it was a reasonable race, as once again we're continuing the Ham v Ver trend. To have both drivers pass and re-pass each other was gripping, in addition to a later ontrack pass for the lead and for second. We had the laughable entertainment of going for fastest lap at the end as icing on the cake. The midfield wasn't as exciting this time but we still had a fair amount of overtakes jumbling around of places.

Craig is right. I in fact gave it a seven for the on-track overtakes for the lead. Perhaps I was a bit generous because the race got duller once Lewis took the lead.
