5/10. Could have been a lot better with changing condition and Williams at the front at the start.

5. Whole race felt like a massive tease.

6/10. I would give it a bit more, but i can't help but to be reminded of the shitty state that Formula 1 is in after this race. We get exciting first laps...then your hopes for a great race get smacked down. We finally get rain IN A RACE only to have the same usual standings at the end of the race with nothing significant happening.

Pretty damn good, just a dissappointing status quo. 8.

6, some good points surrounded by some boring.

7/10.
Race started as exciting one, but Williams sucked big time. Then it looked we would have a lottery race, but F1 gods said: "nah, gotta keep it unsurprising." And final results won't differ from any other race this year. Still, better than Austria.

4 for me, was better then most of the other F1 races though. Just bummed really that Williams couldn't keep the fight going with Hamilton and that it didn't rain early enough for Kimi

(score would have been a 6 or 7 but that finish just bummed me out. )
(However it was a really good race compared to 90% of the other F1 races this season though for sure. I did enjoy this one for sure)

Kept me entertained, a decent 7.

7, was intriguing troughout the whole race.

8 - way better than the past races, that should be the average F1 race

why the mediocre scores? I really enjoyed this race and was kept thinking throughout. I give it an 8.

I'm guessing people voted based on the result of the race?

The first part was great. A 4 way battle for the lead, and it wasn't a complete stalemate. Bottas did look like he might actually pass Massa. Williams messed up with the strategy, but the rain at the end was a twist and Rosberg looked like he might have won. It wasn't until the final pit stops that the race looked over.

If you didn't enjoy the race even a little bit, I don't think any F1 race this season is going to be worth watching.

6. Not great for a rain affected race.

edit: and even though Williams took the lead at the start, I never once thought they could win this race. It was obvious Mercedes was waiting for the pitstop to pounce.

Exciting start, exciting restart, interesting/frustrating up until the 1st pitstop, exciting/frustrating weather towards the end of the race.

I thought it was a good race, both Williams almost getting the Mercedes on the start, then getting by on the restart.. then the debate as to whether Massa should've let Bottas by or not, then Williams screwing the pooch (imo) on pit strategy (should've been proactive instead of reactive), then having Rosberg chasing Hamilton down like nobody's business, only for him to get bailed out by the weather timing.

If I was a Hamilton fan, this would probably be 9/10 or 10/10, but I can't stand him so I'll go with 7/10.

I voted 7, I enjoyed the race and it kept me entertained throughout.

F1 fans are never happy.

5/10

This race had all the ingredients for the best race of the season, but ended as a pretty mediocre race.

Getting the impression if the mercs started on the back row during a wet dry race, if they overtake their way to a 1-2 itd still get a 5/10 due to the result.

But meh I'm tired of caring what anyone else thinks about a race....

9/10 and I'm srs, unpredictability is all we need for excitement

Honestly 6/10 not even a bit of rain can pull F1 out of this dull races
When the rain came nothing happened, except 2 passes of Nico but thats about it...

If something has to be exciting then we have to take a look at this years Malaysian GP. Now that was exciting!

Potentially was the issue of rain the reason why people have so high expectations for this race that weren't met?
We expect rain to be order changing, chaos enducing excitement but this time all the teams reacted well and aside from Kimi there was no hero or zero gambling that usually makes a rain race ultra exciting.

So since we didn't have people flying off and a force India or McClaren winning...people's high hopes would never have been met?

(Meanwhile I thought it was at least 7/10 before the rain too )

4. I had so many expectations with the Williams in front and the rain coming. In the end, nothing really happened
But the first 25 laps were very nice.
