7, pretty exciting battle for the lead, nice action, but Webber was missing up there.

8 points, I was entertained. So happy for Romain.

Very nice.

8

Solid 7.
Not as silly as Silverstone, but still some silliness (Bianchi's car on loose), unfortunate accidents (Webber's tyre on loose) and fights made the race interesting to follow. Also Vettel's win met some threat but not very much happened after the SC.
Hungary next *yawn*.

Good 7.

an 8
good action with strange incidents like bianchi's car taking itself for a walk
and that blow up was cool

but -1 for vettel winning and -1 for kimi not winning

8 pts.

Really exciting race, and a deserved podium.

Really, really enjoyed this race. 8

8 - good action and strategies making up to the track quality

8. good race just like last week

7 points IMO. Quite interesting GP.

a 6 from me.

It felt in the end like being close to an orgasm ans suddenly someone knocks on the door... like being thirsty, asking a beer and getting a Heineken...

The drives itself were fantastic, but I really thought we would have seen some real battles in the end with Kimi and Fernando really attacking.

In the end there were not that many overtakes in the top 5.

edit: and what I found very annoying, there are pit incidents in the beginning of the race, why on earth do they wait until after the race to 'investigate'? Wtf are those stewarts doing? When Alonso drove with a wheel coming off he got a drive trhough penalty. When Webber's wheel comes off in the worst possible place 'they are going to investigate after the race'? Or that unsafe release that happened just before? Last weekend I remember Alonso was also released rather 'unsafe' and even no investigation at all.

well a 7 from me.
First half was dull. But at end it got better and better.
I dont like when F1 is at Nurburg. Its hard to overtake and i dont know like this circuit, its for F1.. Its like a pain in the ass to see the cars go around here. Hockenheim is much better for F1 specially the old one was Monza 2

8 as I was entertained and it's all I ask about.

Also, I never liked this track's layout but it has GRAVEL and GRASS and they look so beautiful.

I enjoyed the race but it did feel very anticlimatic. Everytime something exciting would build up it would fizzle out, Grosjean charging towards Vettel before the SC and then Kimi switching onto the soft tyres at the end. I give it a generous 7.

How I felt. I voted 7 because we should've had more action than we did.

7 from me too. Better than average (I still remember the really dull years and rate accordingly) but (as said) the excitement that sort of kept you interested always resulted in slight disappointment ... even the cracking little battle between Alonso and Hamilton got called off when Hamilton pitted before round 2.

A 6 from me.

I was too worried about the cameraman to enjoy the early laps (I realise that's my natural panic reaction to serious crashes fault rather than the race itself) and despite Crofty building up the lead battle I just didn't believe Vettel didn't have a margin in hand.
Kimi and Grosjean couldn't pass him earlier either so I doubted they would get the job done at the end, and when you disagree with the commentators and they keep hyping it and hyping it, it really just annoys you rather than lets you enjoy the race.

Plus Lotus pitting Kimi was a shock. I felt it was at least worth a gamble on the win, but Lotus don't seem to be a team strong enough to risk everything for a win atm. Playing it safe for 2nd and 3rd isn't the way to try and entice Kimi to stay though, particularly as for the 2nd race in a row he's disagreed with the teams' tactics.

It was actually one of the most enjoyable races of the year for me. I always rate a race higher when the lead battle is a good one. Sure, there wasn't really a pass for the lead, but it was always close, and you always thought one of the Lotus cars might just get there. All race long it was like that. Pretty tense.

I used to feel indifferent towards the track but I really like it now. Grass, gravel, narrow... There weren't too many DRS drive by passes. We saw lots of cars being able to defend down the pit straight, which encouraged moves around the outside at turn 2. I like.
