7/10. I really enjoyed it, might have been higher without the safety car. I know it brought the pack together but it was too long.

7/10. Better than 2011, but not as good as 2010.

As you could see they had no chance to remove the car without the help of a lorry. So the Safety Car was the one and only option here.

7/10 from me, as it felt a little bit anti-climatic after the Qualifying. Still, it was by far more entertaining than last years opener.

7 - Decent start to the season. Had some lulls in the action but generally pretty entertaining

6 - There was some good action at the start, and a manic final lap, but the usual lack of wheel to wheel racing between the similarly matched cars on similar strategies. e.g, Vettel - Hamilton - Webber never developed into anything, and Maldonando never really looked like he could get past Alonso. Button had it in the bag all the way.

Decent, with some entertaining moments, but not great.

4/10 - race was extremely boring IMO...I woke up at 3 am, happy to watch the season opener, it didn't took 10 laps for me to sleep again.

I had to watch the full race again this morning. And watching it again it only reinforced the idea this race was boring (almost slept again watching the replay). I expected much more from Mercedes...and Button winning is so boring......If the rest of the season be like this, I'll seriously stop watching F1 this year.

OK.. which Prick voted 0?

If you are going to come in the thread, vote Zero at least back up your opinions, especially as most members here have voted higher.. rather than a "hit and hide" lets have a constructive discussion as to why you deemed the race a Zero... by not doing then youre argument/vote doesnt stand up !

I've said it many times before, we need to be able to see who voted for what.

I give it a 7, expected a bit more but it wasn't bad.

I was really entertained. Maybe just because of the season opener but in my opinion it was a really nice race.

8 - one of the best season openers in years and such a shame the SC ruined the flow.

Gave it an 8. Nice race, could have been better, not too much overtakes, but it had some very interesting moments. And what a crazy end, just sad that Maldonado threw away a great 6th place.

Unfortunately I don't think a plugin exists for phpBB boards to allow that.
