Difficult to rate. Most positions changes happened during pitstops or were tactical. The SC caused some confusion but quite soon Vettel's victory seemed certain. Better than China, but a brilliant race waits for itself.
7/10.

8 - more than passing, we had real battles, drivers trying to defend their position, crashes and so. I liked it

Ok which thread is it guysssss

7/10, the safety car and higher than expected tyre deg helped change this from the expected 1 stop procession to a 2 stop variable race with a 10 lap genuinely exciting period of overtaking after the SC came in

Also LOL to all the "this is reel racin'" people when Bottas was driving at 10% of his possible pace early on to save fuel and backing the pack up. Sure, the new rules mean it's more of a flat out blast for the drivers and the 2016 backing off and conserving is long gone from the sport.
RIGHTTTTTT :whistling:

This thread. It was always this thread. Mine was just a joke. Just like the race was.

8/10.

We did see some interesting battles and situations as well as a desperate attempt from Hamilton to approach Vettel in the last 12 laps, that paid the race IMO. Massa finally woke up and Perez did an excellent job.

Gave it a 9, one of the best Bahrain GP in all that time!

F1 produced the least interesting racing of the weekend, as usual. I can't rate this any higher than a 5.

I enjoyed it, quite a lot of on-track fights and also a semi-proper one for the lead. Didn't expect it so for that reason an 8 from me.

Race was cool, then stuff happened and it all exploded with huge gaps out of nowhere.

7/10

There's competition for the win again post-turn 1. And there was a chase. And actual battling for positions in the top 5 (for the first half of the race at least). By sheer shell-shock, I gave it an 8. Maybe a bit high.
