I don't think I have ever seen a race quite like it. Tbh I don't even know where to start.

[caneparo]

It was absolutely great. 9

[Everso Biggyballies]

The first half was an absolute shambles.

It was the first race i saw this year and it was good. So i've gave it a 10. It had every thing F1 is known for, overtakes, crashes, the unexpected & drama.

[Picci]

Erm... I really don't know what to give it. It was a good race because we obviously had action for the lead but it was too messy and to be honest this sort of race puts F1 in disrepute. 7 from me.

[Cheeveer]

Are you fucking kidding me?! One of the worst races I've ever seen. Really, really ashamed of F1 today. I feel so sorry for Michael Masi that has to deal with this shit. What a disgrace. GTFO.

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say.

Two. The first half was an absolute shambles. The second part is memorable for mainly an unsportsmanlike incident. There were a few highs in a melee of madness.

However I watched it all! Right through from the F2 appetizer / warning of things to come at 1:30am to 7:00am Monday morning and beyond. For right or wrong reasons, it sucked me in.

The track is not fit for purpose.

[MonteCristo]

That was a catastrofuck.

The racing wasn't good, it was yet another race of shit stewarding, followed by unsportsmanlike driving.

[Michael Ferner]

Against better judgement, I decided to watch another F1 race. It was a mistake.

You do seem to be picking the extreme examples...This being the most extreme of the WTF category that I have ever seen in 25 years of watching.

[Manfred Cubenoggin]

Are 60 seasons of following F1 enough? Perhaps so. Not enjoying much of anything I see these days.

As for scoring yesterday's GP, I'm torn between 10 for entertainment and 0 for a shambles. At least I didn't nod off to sleep which is not a rare thing.

Now you're saying it was all my fault!

This track was never going to produce any on-track racing action, I realized that three or four laps in* - I should have followed my instinct there to switch off, as I don't care much about artificial 'action' (pit stops, safety cars, DRS etc.). But my-oh-my, what a closterfock they managed to produce there, totally over the top excessive BS hyperboloney. I was so angry at times, not wanting to stop watching for fear of missing the good bit that never came, at the end I was so exhausted from being angry that I nearly nodded off (or, maybe I did because my memory of the last five or ten laps is rather foggy). All it did for me is that I no longer care who will win this stupid championship. I was pulling for Max because I like his spirit on the track, don't care much for LH and think it would be good for F1 to have a bit of a fresh start, but now whether he wins or not will mean absolutely nothing, it's all focked up to the hilt. Well done, assholes!


* it wasn't so bad in qualifying, I really enjoyed watching Verstappen's almost-pole lap, some fine on-the (and over-the ) limit driving on a fast, flowing track - but in the race proper it was soon clear that it was a follow-the-leader drag.

8. Pretty damn entertaining, even if it was somewhat of a marginal race. It doesn't get any more dramatic than this.

This type of racing does not hurt their ratings.
