7/10

First 20 laps were 1/10, after that, it got intense until the end.

I always try to look at the race, not at the track it was on. I make an exception for Monaco, the race was not great but MONACO BABY!!!

7 ... it was boring for a long time before some accidents and overtaking from Perez occasionally livened up an intense procession but ultimately a procession ...

9/10.
The first third was horribly dull as feared, but after Massa's crash everything went mental and we saw Monaco at its best: Huge drama, SCs and red flag, amazing (Sutil) and more desperate (Perez) overtaking attempts, controversial stewards decisions. Even wet race wouldn't probably have been this crazy. Then again nothing really happened at top-3.
Still, one of the most eventful Monaco GPs of the past decade.

6.

Great final half. But a very dull first one. Drivers didn't seem to be pushing that hard and the tactical aspect didn't came up that much though.

7 points IMO, due to Pirelli tyres there wasn't really much racing... :(

Shitty first half (getting real tired of Pirelli...) - incredible second half of the race

Therefore 5/10

7 Pts.

Boring as hell during the 30 firsts laps.

And then, the nation of Massa attacked.

6, Awful start, great end, but cars pacing themselves. They looked so depressed in the swimming pool.

8/10

Limited action in the early going (though there was sporadic passes here and there) then it ramped up in excitement tenfold towards the end.

I'd much prefer it go that way, so you feel rewarded for your patience, than have an exciting start that fizzles out, a-la china, etc.

Until Massa's wreck, it was 0/10 with a procession of drivers nursing their tires. After that, it had some really good moments of real battle(no DRS, KERS or Pirelli BS)

9/10
I enjoyed that race from start to finish even during the first "dull" third. It had a certain tension and I always thought "something big is gonna happen soon", and yes, Massa hit the wall in a big way and from there on it was just spectacular. Lots of accidents this year and even a lot of passing. I loved the fact that the entire field was withing 20 seconds for nearly the entire race. That was really something. And although it missed a good lead battle I was actually pleased with that because I wanted Rosberg to win this.
