4/10
I've enjoyed it and honestly I'd give 5 but that waiting for nothing at the end and fact that they showed buildings instead of others battle after Rosberg crosses the finish line was stupid

I feel duped.

It was a dull race then a surprise hunting down of Rosberg appeared, but in the end, nothing was changed even if they didn't try that strategy.

4/10 for 10 laps of interest, majority was still shite.

By far best race since Austria. Interesting, while not spectacular, battles between Kimi & Hamilton, Ricciardo & Rosberg, Kvyat & Verstappen.

Hardly an improvement on Monza. 3/10.
I'm afraid Malaysia and Japan aren't going to be any better.

Some interesting battles, but the feeling of a waste, it could have been better.

5/10.

7 - I like long races, too bad it didn't more reliability issues or crashes

the last laps were exciting either

Verstappen vs Kvyat made me remind of what F1 should be and what we are missing and why I really don't get excited with the prospect of watching another F1 race.

So f1 putting on a battle in a modern race that reminded you of the good times means you won't watch F1 in the future when it could happened again?

Makes sense :p

I was not supposed to watch this, but my beloved wife was ok to drive and provided me her tablet and 4g connection. It was purely her idea and that's just telling how great it is to know someone for years.

I ruined our first date by watching Spanish GP qualifying 2004. So today we took another step forward in our relationship.

It was not me who requested the stream. It was my wife, I was still driving the 500km leg. She only hand to drive 70km. Maybe this should be in the Love-thread instead.

5/10 race, mostly because my two real loves in life didn't clash. :p

5/10

this is what you get with tuned down engines, cars that are way too reliable

In the 80s we had boring races as wel with almost no overtaking, but at least half the field didn't finish due to blown engines, failing gearboxes etc

Nah, I still watch it, but no big deal if I miss and have to see in a torrent. Or just see the start and go away after 20 laps. At least I did that @ Monza. Was very sleep deprived tired but still not my usual behavior.

Nice battles with boring pieces in between. The first-lap carnage and the fight for the win are the reason to my 6.

6/10 It was ok, It's Singapore so what did we all expect? Overtaking is very hard but we saw some great moves. They are saving the car the whole race and only go for it in the final stint, as usual and it delivered. Also a good crash, a safety car and someone almost getting run over. The usual Singapore gp.

Very different opinions, apparently. 6/10 for me, quite enjoyed it.
