A 7 from me.
It's such a shame Kubica retired though.

A big disappointment when Kubica went out, after such a great start, otherwise the Button tyre strategy and then Kobayashi's overtaking barely kept alive a rather processional race.

7 for me, plenty of surprises down the field great racing from Kobayashi, Alsono solid too bad Hamilton had problems it was heading for a good fight.

The race had loads of promise and there were times when it started to come alive. Red Bull were always going to win and with Kubica retiring before the restart that helped them out.
Mclaren seemed to have a bad day at the office and so it was left up to Kobayashi to provide all the entertainment.

Button seems very unhappy with the time it took to bring him in for the tyre stop.

Hamilton's gearbox problem took one major point of interest out of the race.
There was lots of excitement but it was mostly of the incident sort.
Good call not to throw a SC near the end.
Suzuka's an excellent circuit.

6 Apart from the odd kamikasi attempts very little 'racing'; have always been of the opinion that penalty points for mechanical failure ruined the prospect of a good race and this GP? a case in point. As for the loss of grid positions reducing costs....

I can't help thinking that if it had been earlier in the race then the SC would have been thrown. They've used it for considerably less, and imho the car was in a dangerous position.

You'd have to make one hell of a mistake to go off where Nico ended up. Correct decision not to.
5. Boring race, gold from Kobay! Most exciting driver of the year.

A race made interesting only by dint of poor driving and car failure.
I also agree that teams should be allowed to use an unlimited supply of chassis/engines/gearboxes/tyres/testing and wind tunnel days in order to save on costs.....resulting from far fewer teams bothering to take part.
