7/10. Not bad, first wet night race and with standing start. The pile-up is not due the rain, it's purely caused by Vettel's inability to have close racing without crashing.

Yep, a race of two halves. If it finished after 1 hour we'd be 8/10ing it

Then the dry 2nd hour happened and 2017 regs in full effect.
Ultra Soft tyres lasting 30 laps? No problem!
Degredation? Nah fuck that!

Still, lots to enjoy, nice 3 way battle for 11th for multiple corners, gambling on when to switch to slicks, charlie not being a dick and SC'ing the start, wreckers, everybody shut up. etc

So 6/10 by the end of it.

8 because the race had some good passing and interesting incidents

but it should been a big round zero because they can't stop Mercedes victories

That's weird, two of you say it's 6/10 but I see only one vote for 6, one for 8 and one for 10. Codename? I'm suspicious that you actually enjoyed it because Lewis won, am I right? :p

6/10.

The context was great: the first night race with rain!

... And Hamilton wins.
The Merc can drive half of the race with Inter tyres, this domination is a joke.

5/10. The rain and crazy start made for some excitement but was pretty dull thereafter. No challenge for the lead and HAM cruised home uncontested.

Yeah, 5/10. 3 for the start drama, 1 for the Mags/Massa/the-third-guy battle and 1 for the rain. Actually, -1 for Pirelli making tires that last longer than the ones on my Peugeot...

Had the potential to be awesome but with the incident at the start it kind of ruined it in a way. 6/10
