Considering it was Bahrain, it wasn't too bad. So a 6 is deserved imo

A 6.5 for me, so I'll vote a 7 to be nice.
Solid fun.

0, I fell asleep and now feel like an idiot.
It would have been a 10 if we had refueling.

a little boring to watch, I don't like the new section so a 4 for me. I hope the rest of the races pick up.

A solid 3 from now. Didn't make me wish I was doing coursework instead, but having said that almost nothing of any interest happened at all. Some cars just went around a desert much more slowly than they usually do.

Just watched the Bahrain GP and what a wasted afternoon.
NO drama, NO overtaking except lapping back markers.
And, if you noticed, no spectators, except in the start fininsh straight, even then they were sparse.
This is the 60th anniverary of F1, and they assembled all the living Champions at Bahrain to mark the event. Some drove their old cars in demonstration laps, some drove even more historic cars like the MB W125. That one was David Coultard, who is a commentator for BBC F1. What coverage did we have of that? About 5 seconds, of the champions or the C125, and David was asked one question about his drive.
F1 is nothing without its history and now it's nothing anyway.

it seems the bigger and better diffusers have now made it virtually impossible to overtake even on a track that supposedly encourages overtaking.
I fear some other races are going to be dire.

Too true. Most premiership matches are 1-0. Whereas the Sunday league kids football have scores like 7-4.

a 3 and that was only because glock managed to break the deadlock and overtake someone shortly before his retirement, at the front it was pretty stagnant!

Extremely dull, track is a joke.
Why make a new section and then make absolutely no room for passing in there? Utterly crass and obviously a plaything for the Sheikh guy who probably tried it ona simulator and thought iy felt good!
Cars are slow, boring to watch and as usual cant overtake unless a mistake is made.

Some good drives from mid grid, thought Petrov drive well before retire, but front 6 were boringly robotic
