7 points IMO. It was a good season opener. Some really nice parts, but sometimes a bit boring too.

8/10 as an endurance race, 5/10 as a F1 race.

7, wasn't bad. While it could have been better, it could have been a whole lot worse.

I want to give one more point to this race because Vettel DNF and Red Bull didn't even make points

I didn't think the race was that bad, 7. The V8s shat all over it though.

3

i just expected so much more of this. Hardly any real overtaking except when the driver in front made a (braking) error.

edit: for the most part of the race I had some sort of feeling that the only tactics was to drive the car to the finish, drivers didn't push to the limit (except Bottas) and seemed like revved down to make sure the car and engine would stay in one piece.

4/10

Race had more potential than it delivered. Higher level of attrition and a couple of driver mistakes do not a race make.
Oh yeah, and every time F1 weather people predict rain and then it doesn't deliver I want it to constantly rain on their houses forever as an ironic punishment, the hope-destroying jerks.

The way the cars were a lot harder to control gives me some good feeling though. Hopefully that will provoke more suprises and better racing in future races.

waa waa, sky is falling, 1 bad race and the world is over, etc.

Nothing to make me think it was particularly good or particularly bad, so I'll go right down the middle and say 5. Gives me plenty of room for manoeuvre during the rest of the season!

Same here, loved to see the 5 car battle at the middle of the field, with Bottas charging up the pack, a lot of pos change behind the top 3.

Plus, it was nice to see Vettel have problems, amazing to see Hamilton have after the favoritism and nice to see some of the newcomers, specially Magnussen.

I agree but should this lower our standards?

I'm giving it a 5. Too bad there wasn't a real fight for the lead but I enjoyed watching the performance of Magnussen.
