Not as exciting as Shanghai but unlike China it had some drama for P1. Also some great drives, namely Kimi's and Paul's.

Thoroughly enjoyable, more so for the first half than China, but didn't quite crescendo like China did. Not that impressed with the side-swiping driving by Rosberg.

Really good anyway, but there is always room for more, hence the 8 for me. Excellent race in any case, but not the best track to watch for corners.

Blinding race but shouldn't have been held hence a 1 from me as as no zero available.

Was about to give it a 7 but decided to be pretty giving and give it an 8. Watched around half the race (other half on the computer working on assignments) and found the race to be fairly good. Not as good as Shanghai but decent battles, stratgies and racing. And this is on a track that has shown some rather mediocre racing before.

Considering the last race held there was quite possibly the most boring in history, this one was great. Good battles all down the field. Shame Kimi didn't pass Vettel when he had the chance but still an 8 from me.

Gave it a 7, very good race but not quite as good as China.

Seb holding off Kimi and his DRS was pretty awesome for a Vettel fan

It was a cracker of a race once again. I gave it an 8, could have been a 9 though if the battle for 1st got a little more exciting.

9 from me. Watched it (sloped off from the office early) and was pleasantly surprised. As much as I dislike the tyre thing, I have to say it provided an excellent spectacle today. And FWIW the track is not that bad although anything slower than an F1 car tends to make the long main straight look like a slow day on the M1.

The race should not be judged on its political correctness. And the one thing the race seemed to be very much lacking in, was tedium.

It's all just opinions though, isn't it.

If you are giving it a 3 because you do not think it should have taken place, then it's a bit silly don't you think ?

7 , I know tyre strategy/preservation is part of the sport but this race just seemed to be about tyres (i know what i am trying to say but cant think of the right words at the mo ) Some good battles though and what was Nico playing at ? After such a dominant display in China i think he let himself down a bit .
