Glad this has been re-opened
I gave it a 7. Not a lot to speak about until the closing stages, which were tense. I didn't believe Rosberg would catch him for some time though, if i'm honest. It was only until the final 4 laps that I thought he stood a chance. It was all over when he locked up in T9 on the penultimate lap, a point which was missed by Edwards/Coulthard. Selby |

7 - Quite a solid race. Not up to Bahrain's standards - but there was decent battles between Nico and Lewis, the two Ferraris and Vettel's charge up the grid to entertain us.

The end was pretty good but there wasn't much beyond the threat of a scrap at the end. I was sorry to see Grosjean and Bottas slip away. 6 from me.

First 50 laps were the cure to insomnia that rivaled the likes of Hungary 2004, Spa 2007, Bahrain 2010 and every Indian Grand Prix but then things picked up and got interesting thanks to some alternate strategies with a great outside overtake by Vettel and a decent although predictable scrap between the dominant Mercedes teammates. |

I think we all knew at the start of the season that they had a slim timeframe in which to capitalise on their good chassis/engine, but they really haven't done so. Such a shame! Selby |

The race started out ok but after the first round of pit stops, like so many other races, it settled down and I found I was losing my concentration. It was only until the last 7 laps or so that the race really picked up and then it was over. 6

Round five in this tour de farce results in a five for me, only the last few laps were a bit exciting.

Another boring race, watched the first 31 laps then realised i was nodding off and had more important things to do. A race between just two team mates had never made a grand prix whether it be McLaren, Williams, Ferrari, Red Bull or Mercedes.Four of them on the trot without any sign of a reprieve is just plain dull.

Fell asleep, woke up for the good bits at the end - when you doze you become a master at hearing the pitch change in David Crofts, (and before James Allens) voice, 6

Yeah that partially wet second GP3 race was the highlight of the weekend. Seeing the cars all slipping at every corner was great.
7 for the F1. Vettels charge was interesting. Rosberg kind of made things interesting at the end, but really unless Hamilton made a mistake or wrecked his tyres, Rosberg wasn't going to get past. It took Alonso and Perez almost the entire race to pass their teammates, and the Merc duo were probably a lot closer on pace. I think Rosberg would have needed at least a sec a lap advantage to make a pass, and he certainly didn't have that. |

So many people claim to fall asleep every single race. Do you sleepers all live in an old-people's home? :-)

6. Another moment of tension and the end, and Hamilton paid off the race.
