6/10
Sainz deserves 9, but the F1 is not managed well. Sorry for the rant so early in the morning (here), but 10 cars in trouble, poorly developped or not fit to race. That creepy economics applied accross is killing the sport.

5.
Retirements added 1.5-2 points to the score. Otherwise it was a strategy race.
Maybe I'll remember this as the race Max didn't win come the end of the season. Otherwise, completely forgettable.

6/10 here.
Had to have something going for it. Didn't doze off to sleep so it gets a 6/10.

I gave it a 9 as I really enjoyed it, for once. Plenty going on to keep my watching anyway.

I gave it 6 points. It is not that low because of Max' DNF, but i never had the feeling the race was alive because Max was not there. All the action was in the midfield anyway.

The race never grabbed my attention from the start, even with the Verstappens early demise. With him having issues the whole weekend we may have had a better race with him not retiring. Everything from there on out was rather predictable.

6. I had higher hopes for a more competitive race once Verstappen dropped out. But the result just illustrates that the formula is poor right now.
+1 for a different winner. Good job Sainz! However he went unchallenged for the entire race after lap 2.
Race was 5. I was interested for some of the midfield battles and the last lap with Russel, but it was not good racing overall.
So I a now concluding that Max running away with it it just a symptom of how bad F1 has gotten.

4: Up one because Max did not win it. Still pretty processional affair. Only excitement being Alonso's brake-check of Russell at the end.

5 for me. It had major potential. If anything Max exiting the race missed out on a fight for the lead. The cars just can't follow closely enough any more. So much for the recent regulation changes, we're back to where we were before them.

I gave it a six..... it kept me entertained, with a few highlights.... Max and Lewis both DNFs helped, but some of the place battles were good, the unfolding strategies etc.
