I've gone with an 8. There was an element of"meh" because you knew Max couldn't overtake etc, but so much happened to make up for that.

8 from me. Not much overtaking at the front, but other incidents made up for that. Also, Bottas storming through the field was quite something.

I'll give it a solid 9. Great race, but it just didn't fill out my bingo card enough to make it a 10.

8 for me. The race was exciting but after perez was handed the penalty it became a bit dull with ricciardo slowing down a bit and taking it home easily woth lando backing

I went with an 8.... I enjoyed it and a great result for McLaren. Great Team dynamic they have and im happy for them.

7. Interesting race. For a moment we had 4 cars all capable of winning the race running nose-to-tail. We were deprived of a shoot-out between the two championship contenders, so the second half of the race became a carefully controlled run down to the finish by the two McLarens.

Good to see Ricciardo win it, driver of the day has to go to Lando Norris for a number of reasons.

8/10 here.

Great to see McLaren back in the winner's circle. As well, Danny Boy is likely my favourite of the current crop of pilots not for anything in particular. Perhaps it's because I find him the least objectionable.

As for the Lewis/Max collision, I'd rule it as a minimum 55% to Hammy.

That was fantastic! We actually did get a pass for the lead when Ricciardo pitted. Hams got by Noris.
But Dan drove a faultless race to back up his amazing start.
7 for the race, +1 for DAAAAANNNNNNNNN! and +1 more for the Shoey!

Solid 9 for me. I would definitely watch this one again on repeat.

8 for me.

Not amazing racing, but there was some action. Otherwise an unexpected result. A big championship crash. The race wasn't mired with unnecessary reds or SCs (VSCs were short; the SC there was was warranted).

And, of course, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN.

I gave it a 9, it was a hell of a result for McLaren and Bottas tried to show Mercedes why he felt they should have kept him, it was just done too late. Given where he started he did well to get a podium out of it.

8. Would have been a 9 had the two kept it clean and stayed in the race. Good outcome overall.

I went with 9, but on my own rankings I went with 8.5. It was such a feelgood moment of the season. Ricciardo has an uncanny knack of sniffing out wins. The collision between Max and Lewis is an obvious big moment, and Bottas coming through the field put a few nerves into me as the end came near. However the final laps ended up as mostly a procession, which was why I couldn't place it more perfectly.
