Sort of race I expected to see. Lot's of passing, fights, different strategies, some blundering here and there.
-1. No real fight for the win
-1. Many potential fights never happened due to easy DRS passing.

8. It was an odd race. DRS ruined it a bit.

6...

5 for the race + 1 point for the podium

Useless DRS-zones + too much influence by the Pirelli tyres... More pure racing please!

7 points. Not so far of the 8 note, but I think tyre stuff ruins a bit the race.

Like a sandwich with the bread in the middle....

Great start, dull middle, amazing end....

If the safety car would've come out for Webber or Guttierez's stranded cars it probably would've been amazing, the mid race needed a bit of shuffling up, but apart from that 25 laps of a parade it was good.

Still not quiet reaching the heights of 2012 though, action wise, but I guess that was a high water mark that can't be expected to happen every year or we'll just get too used to it ;)

8 for me, it was 7-8 but Vettel's late charge ignited it again which pushed it over the edge.

Might've over-scored it a bit with my 9, but based purely on the strength of lots going on throughout the race it's not totally unwarranted.

7 - Enjoyable for sure. Differing strategies, good non-DRS overtakes, many leaders and lots of battles.

7 because it kept you guessing as to whose strategy would ultimately prevail and therefore entertained, but most of the on-track action was far from classic stuff ...

Gave it a 9, a lot of action all over the race, many overtakes, very good to watch and nice to keep me awake late at night
