6At least 2 of the 6 I register comes from the fact that it wasn't a Merc on the top step.

I gave it a six.
Some stuff happened (a couple of passes, some break downs, a non-Merc win), but nothing amazing.
Merc still faster, but rooted themselves in the arse. But Fezza is thereabouts.
Feel sort of torn. Dislike Hamilton (but don't outright 'hate' him), and hate Merc's dominance. Pretty close to hate Vettel (but not MS levels of hate), and he drives for Ferrari (the hate runs deep).
Umm, go Sauber!

I really wanted to see a Ferrari win, but it was still a terrible race.

Agree with both. Let's face it, this was a terrible race, only mitigated slightly by the fact that it was the season-opener and that we have a different winning car for the first time in an age.XcraigX wrote:MiÑardi wrote:I'm amazed by some of the ratings.

This.
I was really disappointed with the lack of on-track overtaking. Our fears from when they announced the rule changes came true. Cars are faster, but the changes have made overtaking harder.
Hamilton was over 2 seconds faster on track than Verstappen after his pitstop, but could not overtake him.
I was kind of hoping he and Vettel could have battled on the track, but instead we got overtaking by pitstop and backmarker.
I gave it a 4. There was some good, but mostly a boring race where all the cars were spread out. Nice race for 10th though...
The first race always gets high ratings. The excitement of F1 being back I guess.MiÑardi wrote:I'm amazed by some of the ratings.
