I gave it a 9. Would have been a ten but I'm saving that for Brazil!

10. Flat out better than Abu Dhabi, because it was a *race*.

9 lost 1 mark for Webbers misfortune and Vettel's childish outburst.

9. An absorbing contest.
Track was ok, definitely helped by lack of grip. Will that always be the case? |

I think we'd ALL be frustrated with the DRS in that situation! Also, I think Vettel was annoyed with the lapped car they caught there in the esses, which got Hamilton that close to him in the first place. It seems FAR more reasonable and understandable (also, heat of the moment sort of thing) than Lewis' repeated whinging AT the team over the radio, like in Korea.
I'm trying to settle on a 7 or an 8. It was a quite decent race, and it's a good track, for a "modern" track. It's not the most electrifying race I've ever seen, and this wasn't Spa, Monza, or Suzuka, or Algarve on a good day or Potrero de los Funes. |

Best race since F1 left Europe.
I reserve judgement on how good the circuit is until next year when the tarmac has had time to settle in and Perelli bring 'suitable' tyres but it's looking like the best track by Tilke since Turkey. 6. |

9 from me - good racing up and down the field. Some very close passes with no-body overstepping the mark and causing accidents. A very good start for CotA.

I gave it a 9. National pride-I liked that track. Webber conks out so you intently watch the other Red Bull, Ham catching and passing the Finger, and Alonso keeping himself in the game. All sorts of drama and all sorts of contests down the field.

To get a perfect 10 four or five cars would have to stage a photo finish.
That was brilliant! Gave it a 9 and would have been 9.5 if available. |

Gave it a 9. Vettel has no right to complain about DRS. He was using lap traffic to open it up while in front of Hamilton, and Hamilton didn't use it in some of those instances. There was passing throughout the race. The Williams drivers were doing some good racing, and so was Button.

a 9 from me because the low grip track made for some good racing and I didn't have to get irritated by the finger.

7. I'm not a fan of Tilkedromes but this produced a surprisingly good race, compared to S. Korea and Abu Dhabi.

Count me in as another not so fond of Tilke, but I enjoyed this race - it's nice to see some close racing at the sharp end
Not so sure about the podium cowboy hats though! |

Very entertaining, good racing throughout the field. At least an 8.
So why don't they bring the 'wrong' tyres to every race? Drivers seemed more than capable of racing with a little less grip! |

Note for the "cowboy" hats: Don't do it again.
