8. Race was way better than i expected. Good fights all over the grid. And Ollie finishing 7th is just awesome. This 18 year young lad really impressed me.

7/10

1. Race was sort of OK.
2. Half of the field belongs to F2 grid. Cars are in terrible shape.
3. Max alone deserves 9.
4. Ferrai reserve driver was good and lucky. As the saying goes - luck happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Good for him.

3. A little interest towards the end, but at the end of the race, the two of us who watched talked about Red Bull, not the racing.

Not rating. Only watched the highlights.

Looked like it wasn't the worst race ever, but I don't think I missed much.

Basically a 1 for me. I just downloaded it to watch it, I got to lap 30 or so and noticed nothing was happening except a battle for 15th. So I just pressed the Skip button in VLC and noticed that basically nothing happened for the rest of the race. Really glad I didn't wake up at 2am for that.

I only saw very limited highlights soI can't vote today. Not a bad race from what I saw of it, though I think I might have felt differently if I'd seen more of it.

6. Race was a 5. The battle for the lower points was bit interesting. Especially with the mixed pit strategies.
+1 for Ollie Bearman.He got DOTD and it was well deserved.

4.5 round up to a 5. At least we had a crash, safety car and some different strategies. Max and Perez dominating is never going to get it above a 5 unless the podium or other battles are going to be other worldly. Also the tyre compounds were too safe and didin't wear enough. Having Bearman race added some interest but ultimately he benefitted from Norris and Hamilton being out of place.

Goes to show how much I'm out of sync with today's F1 - each of those three points would've meant a deduction from my score!
