I'd say 7. It wasn't half bad. Some of you expect way too much from what is essentially a glorified go-kart track, a pure anachronism in today's F1.

A 5, for Vettel´s anti-cyclical strategy and thus spicing things up, and the close top 6 at the end. Besides that, pretty boring.

I enjoyed it, a big part for me was the Webber factor but beyond that it was fine if you know what to expect from Monaco - I mean passing opportunities, really?

7

A 3, which would have been a 2 had the rain not closed everything up for 5 of the last 9 laps.

7/10.

65 boring laps, but 10 lasts ones were pretty exciting.

8. Monaco is Monaco; it's the spectacle not the race.

6 - kept you interested - and had the potential to be at least a 9, but ultimately what was keeping you going never really materialised ... be it a slightly heavier sprinkling of rain or someone from the top 6 getting within striking distance. Tyres perhaps a bit too durable and easy to manage which is why we didn't see anything start to kick off ...

off course we all know Monaco is not suited for overtaking.

But still, it was so close of being a real great race, but the rain only 'teased' us, there ware no real drama's except for the start, and all drivers were just too good today for keeping out of the barriers.

I thought it was tense, but not edge of the seat exciting type thing. Every team knew they couldn't stop for the rain that was supposed to arrive, but never did, and they all ended up with roughly similiar strategies. And then the rain near the end was not heavy enough for any real choice to be made.
