Good first part up until the SC, not much happened after that.
Great atmosphere all weekend and podium though!
6/10

Bottas was entertaining to watch, first 20 laps or so were good as well.
6/10

Underwhelming for the most part. I'll be generous and say 5 and hope for better in Malaysia.

I'd go for a 7 because of the unexpected podium (apart from Rosberg then), but yeah you feel the cars aren't there yet to challenge one another. I hope that will change though.

A 6, could have been a lot better, but not surprising considering it was the first race under new rules...roll on Sepang!

7

Top 3 drove a very conservative race but nice podium nevertheless. Plenty of action further down the order. The randomness caused by unreliability and driver errors beats the randomness induced by Pirelli cheese tires any day. Hope to see more fighting for the top positions in the future but very enjoyable race overall.

I gave it 6 / 9. Yes, nine. Teams are not taking ten tenths out of the engines due limited fuel and fuel flow so I'm not going to give ten out either. F*uck the fuel economy! FIA rule makers should be fired and new fuel rules needs to be introduced for next season, if not faster.

All in all nicely refreshing race. Some new faces on podium and great performances on the track. Some great fights especially by Bottas but there could have been a bit more battles. Race was much cleaner than initially expected as it wasn't such a lottery after all. Mercedes was dominating and I'm afraid there isn't anyone to challenge them for a while.
7/10.

I'd say 7.

Taking into consideration the reliability issues, it's obvious teams aren't going to be pushing 100% at this moment.

First half was funny, second half boring. But generous for first race.
