0

The most boring race I have watched since...... I can't even remember

zero overtakes(as the one that happened was seen as an "illegal" maneuvre by Stewards), no drama, no real battles. In summary, nothing really happened!

Wasn't amazing but it was tense and kept me entertained. A solid 6.

definitely a 6, but I doubted a while to give it a 7.

Should give it a zero, but I don't like to, so I gave it an 1, worst race of the season with no doubt.

7. Good tactical race, enjoyed it despite not that much overtaking due to DRS having zero effect. DRS haters should love this one and rate it 10, as it had the amount of overtaking that every F1 race would have if there was no DRS.

And the voting here is so stupid. Canada: argh, passing with drs, this sucks. Hungary: no passing, this sucks.

What do you want? Real passes are difficult in F1 and we'll never see much of that unless they go to some spec aerodynamics like Indycar.

Canada was great and shouldn't be second last in this poll, Hungary shouldn't be last either but in the middle. Monaco was boring as no places changed even with pitstops. Today we saw a great battle for second with 4-5 cars all on different strategies.

It was a great battle up to the finish. Above average but not outstanding, 6.

People who are being this harsh with this race probably have never seen an F1 race between 1995 and 2010.

Fighting for the lead closer than a second until the closing laps is not dull. Position change on the podium is not dull. It's way above average for an F1 race, especially for hungaroring.

I will laugh hard if F1 ever comes back to wins with gaps above 10s between the lead cars. What will you do then if this race makes everyone want to kill themselves?

Dull as hell, but i give it 1 more point because my man won. So 2.
Most boring race so far.. They should extra for Hungary make DRS anytime available. But still no results..

5. No memorable fighting but the race of Hamilton against the Lotuses kept the tension up - at least for me.

It wasn't a crazy overtaking-fest, but it was still tense enough to keep me interested. I gave it a 6.

Some people's standards have become wayyyy too high.

Does anyone have the 'Rate the ... GP' results of previous seasons? I want to compile the results to see what our top 10 favourite races overall have been. I've used the search function but can't find them in the forum.

The refueling era blighted F1 for far too long.

If people have "high standards" its because F1 has raised them itself this year by finally returning to what it should be, ON TRACK action, not pit lane action.

Today there was Senna going around the outside of a car in turn 2 and that was about it as far as clean passes went.
Then you had Maldanado proving he can't get through a race without hitting someone and the Lotus' nearly taking each other out and that's about it as far as talking points go too, compared to previous races where there were about 30 clean passes and a hell of a lot more incidents and talking points.

A barely acceptable 4, and that's being KIND.

Sadly, the new format F1 can't make all previous awful tracks good for racing.

Now WHERE was that thunderstorm when you need one? :(

Interesting without ever really being on the edge of your seat exciting ... strategy was as good as a HoF race from 2004. Meh, but a 5 ...
