Rate the 2021 Russian GP
I know some people will rate it ridiculously low because Lewis won, but whoever was going to win, that was an absolutely fantastic race from start to finish.
I think a 10/10 race requires an extraordinary result and a Mercedes / RBR 1-2 is not really remarkable, so I will go for a 9/10.

9/10 It kept me from switching to GT racing, which i prefer above F1. I really rooted for Lando, who is the man of the race!!

8/10, 1 point knocked off for the most disappointing winner possible right now.

A definite 9. Great action, passes for the lead, some chaos, unpredictable throughout, and Hamilton winning is made much more palatable with Verstappen second.
Make no mistake, Red Bull will be much much happier than Mercedes coming out of this weekend.

10 for me.
Best Russian GP I've ever seen helped by mixed up starting grid and changing weather (Bernie is laughing at his doubters now).
But with that being said, we had:
1. Multiple passes for the lead on track (Norris on Sainz and on Perez after the stops)
2. Several great midfeld battles
3. Verstappen from P20 to P2
4. I don't hate Hamilton as much as you lot, so I'm not taking points off for him winning
5. Racing history made with a driver reaching 100 GP wins (it's only because he has the fastest car at all times, right? - keep fooling yourselves.)
6. Crazy rain changing race order and cars all over the track
7. Potential for a new race winner in Norris (and horrible call from the team preventing him from taking it)
8. I was glued to the TV the entire time, not even checking my phone.
9. Unusual points finishers (Kimi & Russell)

To be fair, he made the call in the end. Yes, they should have made it for him..

Yes, ultimately Lewis was in the same position, but the call from the pitwall was more forcefull to convinve him to come in. The radio to Lando seemed more like asking him to come in rather than telling him.Circuitmaster wrote: ↑2 years ago To be fair, he made the call in the end. Yes, they should have made it for him..

The info I heard after suggested that McLaren fed Lando info was that it was not going to get much worse in the next two laps and left it up to the driver, so Lando chose to stay out based on one sector being dry and others more wet and it staying that way.... Lewis was told it was going to get worse and that he should stop as soon as. Of course with hindsight the Merc info was better. The rain increased dramaticallyXcraigX wrote: ↑2 years agoYes, ultimately Lewis was in the same position, but the call from the pitwall was more forcefull to convinve him to come in.

Whoever was reading the radar at McLaren needs his butt kicking.

Gave it a 7. It was developing into a very good race but then the rain came and kind of made the final results random. Usually rain is good news, in this case it was not.
Driver of the day in my opinion was Verstappen.

9.
Most of the race wasn't exceptional, but it was certainly solid with a number of passes throughout the field (a good 7-8 or so). Then there was obviously the end, which was great.
Never leave us Sochi .

I've been tossing up whether to give it an 8 or 9 but I think the finish just pushes it into a 9 for me.

Yeah I was the same but went for a 9 in the end.... because Kimi got points and went from 15th to 8th in the last two laps, passing others on wet rubber.
