I was largely unconscious for the race, given it started at 4am. Therefore I can't really give it a score. The bits I saw were a 6/10 though.

Looking forward to seeing the comments below.

7. A hell of a fight for the lead that went on for the whole race. Nothing much else going on. Watching Bottas struggle to pass Sainz got a little tiresome.

Driver of the race: Verstappen

I gave it a 6, not the most enthralling race but happy to see Max hold on to the end to take the well deserved win.

7. Good dice up front. Some interesting stuff in the middle, but not one of the best. The battle for the lead did keep me interested all race.

6/10 here.

If it's ABH, it's got to be good, imo.

I particularly enjoyed the McLaren/Ferrari sandwich on the opening lap.

#6

A solid 6 for me.

I gave it a generous 6. The opening laps and finishing laps were good, the result was good.... we still have a fight for the title, but with a few exceptions the middle was dreary. And I hate the track. I did not enjoy seeing just about every passing move under investigation although to be fair they all got dismissed bar a couple of dodgy off track passes that had to give places back.

I really like the track actually. Height differences, many parts are very good for battles. And the fact it was the first non-Mercedes pole position since 2013 (Vettel RBR). And the second only non Mercedes win since 2013. And of course Max winning!

8 points

I went with a 7. However you dice it, I was gripped the whole way through. Not every race is going to be about on track action.. although saying that there were some great battles earlier on.

The track has grown on me. I'm not a fan of the mix-tape method of track design, but it does tend to give some decent racing, so what do I know.

Terrible race. 3

I'm going to give it a solid 8, this was the first F1 race in a long time where I was at the edge of my seat the entire race....

and then the local ABC affiliate literally interrupted the race at the last corner to basically say "something might have earlier but we have nothing to report right now". Instant boner killer. Would have given it a 9 if I could have seen the finish.
