Vent here guys and gals.....

Race gets a 8/10 for me - crackin racing up and down the grid, and NO politics.

Williams - 2/10. So so bad, where has all that pace gone?

Mechanics (all teams) 10/10 - how reliable were those cars????? My road car couldn't do 57 laps in that heat!

Piquet - 6/10. That's the kind of drive you expect from a number two. Much better.

Mark Webber - 8/10. That guy drives so well when he's mad, if reliabilty hadn't been so good he'd surely picked up some points for his hard work.

9/10
Bloody good race, had action, strategy and the driver I preferred to win, won

[BeaseHoca]

6/10 - somewhat underwhelmed by it. Good drives from a large proportion of the field but the result was fairly obvious from about half distance.

[Paiblyelaxy]

Had its moments, underwhelming after about 10 laps, but watched rest of the race with the onboards and the main feed misses out on so much eg. respect to Piquet today for his effort to hold Rubens for a few laps as he placed his car in all the right places and used KERS to advantage.

7/10. By all means a good race. Some great overtaking and battles all race long. But I would have liked the Toyotas to put up more of a fight for the race win. It would also have been nice to have the Ferraris and BMWs in the mix. If them two teams get their act together for the coming races, the results may be a complete lottery.

Fingers crossed for Spain...

[RogHammon]

6/10 for me too (which in my book is 'good').

I'm not hoping for much in Barcelona, cause it's... Barcelona

3/10
but bettter than the usual 1.5 of 10
sad once again

A faster car (Vettel) can not pass a slower car and trulli could not pass hamilton
Gee, does not take much to make you guys happy...

Race gets an 8/10 from me. Good battles for position, lots of intrigue - was Toyota finally winning, and if so who would it be? Raikkonen and Hamilton closer to the front, the Brawns with a good strategy, all kept me interested.

3/10

Boring as - no overtaking to speak of

[WapSaibiar]

1/10 for RB for all that hand shaking because NP jr. didn't let him through. He was quite pathetic I'd say.

[Fiesialenp]

5/10 - Typically average modern F1 race - a few good moments mixed in an hour and a half of follow-the-leader.

I wouldn't agree. I don't think Barrichello expected Piquet to move over. It seems to me that he was just frustrated at the painfully slow Renault his charge was compromised by, and he just had to let it out visually. I think it was a case of: "Come on, you can take that corner way quicker man!" as opposed to "Get the flip out of my way!"

Lets be honest, Piquet was real slow looking from RB's onboard.

[XqrkN4a0]

6/10 - not the best race, but entertaining nevertheless, and had potential throughout to become a classic duel, which never happened, but kept me excited at the prospect.

Jenson for driver of the day, and a special mention to Piquet for a solid race, he had good actual racing, defending and overtaking well.

[RogHammon]

5/10 - Typically average modern F1 race - a few good moments mixed in an hour and a half of follow-the-leader.

Which leader? By the end of first round of pits, 5 drivers could lead the race. By the second round, that possibility had gone down to 3. But the point is, until very late in the race, it was still anyone's race. Specially as we didn't know what Tulli would do on the super-softs in his final stint when everyone else was on mediums.

felt the same way

[Anavaralo]

It was solid, interesting and had its moments. 7 for me.

A fair assessment, but I would say Rubens' obvious frustration was not the right response to the situation. I think it suggests that Rubens' morale is dropping and he's getting himself into a negative frame of mind.

That's why refuelling should be banned. Vettel sat back to save fuel decided to pit pass him instead.

Eh? Am I the only one who thought, given he had to manage cooling issues etc, and being constantly stuck in traffic, that he was quite recey yesterday?
