8, epic start, Ham and Danny Ric rising up, Massa finishing his home race in the right way, Räikkönen fending off Hamilton. All great feel good stuff.

6. Good start, mainly caused by Haas noobing up, good passing from a reverse gridded Hamilton and Ric, but otherwise dull.

7 - good passing, not too much fight for the lead but feels good to see a good car starting last

Meh. It wasn't too bad but dirty air is a big problem. And performance difference another one. 4.

I couldn't watch in loco this year's edition (had professional duties the whole weekend).

But watching on TV, race was below all my expectactions. I'm already getting worried with those lap times. Pole time on Saturday below 1:08:500 made me think If it's not time to reform Interlagos, extending "Reta Oposta", changing "Descida do Lago" with a bigger straight till "Ferradura". Believe it or not, there's a lot of space in all that property that still belongs to São Paulo's government (current Mayor is wanting to make it private).

So, it's possible to reform and change radically many sectors in Interlagos and raise these lap times. I particularly think it's unacceptable these current lap times.

Journalist Flavio Gomes is already making an intense media campaign in order to force reforms in Interlagos to increase the mileage of the racetrack and I agree with that. It's time to reform the Interlagos circuit.

Interlagos circuit is good how it is, no need to change it.

lower lap times are better for the spectators as they see the cars more often.

Pretty crap... Again.

Boring race. Boring overtakes. No excitement at all. Even Hamilton's race was very predictable. No hard fights. Easy, predictable overtakes with DRS. F1 is sick for some years, but no one seems to care. We only get excited from circus races at Baku. We penalise drivers for risky overtakes but we love DRS overtakes.
