With the usual 'I only watched the highlights' proviso, I didn't really find it very tense at all. Yes, it was good to see Mercedes and McLaren performing pretty well, but disappointing to see how quickly Norris' McLaren fell away. It was really another easy win for the Verstappen steamroller, from 6th on the grid, even with dodgy brakes. A 5 from me.
Edit - having only watched the highlights and having passed on the post race stuff in favour of a full English instead (!) I hadn't seen the disqualifications. Shame. Bearing in mind everything else that goes on, a straight disqualification seems pretty harsh to me bearing in mind how obviously bumpy the circuit is in places, but I guess 'rules is rules'.
