Much more excitement than the previous weekend's race. Can't remember what I rated that...if it was a 4/10 then I would give this a 6/10.

I went 7. Lots going on, if not right at the front.. but at least it wasn't Lewis.

I sense a wave of people complaining about the number of penalties.. but honestly I think that they were all warranted. And Sergio doing to Charles what Lando did to him, twice, is really poor form.

6/10. There never was a battle for the lead/win but there were some good racing in the rest of the pack. A bit too many penalties though.

5/10 here.

Must have been worth something. I didn't drift off to sleep not even once! :)

Penalties galore is one take-away from this event.

5. Should have been a 6 because there was a ton of top 10 action, but I gave the Austrian GP a penalty for too many penalties.
Although you would figure that Perez would not do that twice when he already knows it brings a penalty.
Surprisingly decent race from Bottas. Not sure what happened to Lewis, car damage?

Now another 10 drivers summoned to the Stewards after the race for being naughty boys, :annoyed:

9 points. Mercedes finally not only had to fight a RBR, but also a McLaren! In fact this is a race where Mercedes had to revoke their team order: Bottas could fight Hamilton after first being denied that option.
Great battles through the whole field.

Oh gosh, 5.5, and not sure whether to round up or down.

Better than last week that's for sure. Norris up there was something different. Some minor Hamilton whinging was nice. The battling between 5th-8th with Perez, Leclerc, Sainz and DAAAN was interesting.

Screw it, I'll give it a 6 for the Kimi brain fade.

I only gave it a 4, it didn't really thrill me if I'm honest. Too many penalties and not that much to get excited about. Maybe that says more about the way I feel today rather than the race.

Another 6, same as last race. Kind of the same as last race, except Red Bull's advantage was even greater and McLaren actually won a legitimate podium, beating a Mercedes and Red Bull on the track. For a change, the fans were correct in selecting Lando Norris as driver of the day.

6. Max drove away but I'd say the rest of the field had an entertaining day. Great to see Norris mixing it with the Mercs. The Ricciardo, Ferrari, Perez battle was interesting. Alonso v Russell at the end was good too. I'd rate it higher if it weren't a cakewalk for Max. And the penalties clouded the spectacle a bit.
