I felt that was a much more satisfactory race than Japan or China. The NASCAR-style "debris caution" was unnecessary but did add some extra spice to the strategies. I will give it a strong, solid 6 as I don't think it is QUITE deserving of a 7.

5/10

As a fan I had really bad day. I was not alone. Max, Yuki, Hadjar, Andrea and a few more the same. It was a race to forget. Piastri has a good machine, and he is F1 material. Drove very good race. Alpine and Haas scored. Sainz and Williams, what a story in early stages. For some reason cumulative effect with favorite drivers struggling, I didn't like much this race.

7.

Race at the front was booooring, in the best way possible .

But there was a fair bit of dicing throughout the field. Lots of passing. Yeah, mostly DRS stuff - but we're stuck with it, can only rate what's in front of you. A bit of RBR pit stop drama. No real incidents beyond that.

Otherwise, good result for the championship. Very close up front. Adds a bit of spice.

No classic. But watchable.

In terms of @PTRACER's score, I'll say I was a 6.5. But it gets a +0.5 delicious Pastry bonus.

Deffo felt more like a 6.5 and some of those points were in seeing RBR struggle for once DRS did help the overtaking but there were a few pretty wild sends going into the first corner and the battles were some of the hardest I've ever seen. The drivers really had their elbows out.

Footnote: A 7/10 race is usually worth watching again at some point and Bahrain wasn't quite deserving of that.

Antonelli has no fear.

Personally, I think a 8 or 8.5-9 is worth watching again. But that's just me.

Maybe its 'Manager Mark' using his protégé's name.

I gave it a 7, maybe it felt like a much better race because last weekend's was so dull, I don't know. I did enjoy seeing Piastri win too, that also helped to lift my mood about the race I guess.

[XcraigX]

I also give 7. It was enjoyable. Good action throughout. Very good drive from Oscar, but he could have made it epic by allowing some others to catch up.

Had to put down a 'No Vote' for this one. Fell asleep not once but twice! Shame on me.

Learned something at least. I thought that DRS activation was controlled by sensors trackside. Apparently not as Russel employed his outside the zones.

To my mind, it makes Indycar's 'Push to Pass' option look superior.
