The majority of my points will be awarded because it wasn't an obvious Mercedes victory.

"An obvious Max victory" might actually become the thing this year...

#2

Was it exciting? No. But one thing is now very clear: Lewis knows they are in trouble.

5. It never really got into gear.

Picci · #4

3 points. Very disappointing race by Austrian standards. All three are awarded with compliments to a non-Lewis victory.

Ruslan · #5

6. Not a bad race. First half was more exciting than the second half. It is clear that Hamilton was never really able to challenge Verstappen.

I went 4. One more lap and it might have improved on that. I was a little disappointed to see Norris just give up two places. I know it makes sense.. but still..

I gave it a 4, but it was not one that captivated me. Would have gone a 5 if Sergio had passed Bottas at the end, or if Kimi had got a point.

I actually (p)osted that initially, saw it and thought best edit it!

Can we change your title to "The Great 'P' Paster" for a week or so?

Back on topic. 4 for me. There were a couple midfield battles, but mostly all positions were settled via DRS on the straights.
The lead bunch seemed to be just a procession.
Mercedes seemed to have lost all courage when it comes to strategy. They need to try something different next race if they can't get RB on pace.

6 for me. A decent race. I really appreciated it was not a tyre saving competition

Star · #12

I gave it a 5, another solid win by Max, nothing much else worth mentioning. Perez did his best but in the end it wasn't enough to (p)ass Bottas. Felt bad for George Russell when his car had issues, he was going very well up to then.

I voted with a 4. It was boring without being completely agonising (unlike a DAAAAN performance).

Fun fact. This year I seem to be very much voting with the crowd on most occasions. The last couple of years I'd generally been voting 1-2 points below the consensus. Hmm.

I think you have dragged the consensus down to your level rather than the other way round!
