2011 Brazilian Grand Prix out of 10

[FB]

Dull? Exciting? Meh? Give Brazil a vote out of 10.

 

[Brogan]

Can't even be bothered to vote...

Can't even be bothered to vote...

That'll be "meh", then.

4, nice to see a different face on the top step but very little else to take away from the weekend. Could of done with some rain.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

I would have given less than 3 if it wasn't for the fact that Fernando Alonso pulled off a cracking overtake on Jenson Button.

8, loved it!

4 - It was a race and the last of the season. That's the best that can be said of it.

I was hoping for a little more 'real' racing and a little less team intervention. The top teams had nothing to lose if they allowed drivers to do their best and that might have made it more exciting - increasingly, it becomes obvious that fans don't matter.

7 (more of a 6.5 really). I enjoyed the pure quality overtakes that Button and Alonso pulled on each other. Two of the best this season. I enjoyed Hamilton hounding Massa while it lasted, and Sutil and Rosberg going wheel-to-wheel. I've realised that I don't like DRS at all, and I much prefer seeing overtaking being made a real achievement like it was today. I even liked Schumacher and Senna's little scrap - I prefer that kind of tough racing to DRS fly-bys - although the drive-through was unnecessary.

Also nice to see Webber get the W. His comments in the press conference after qualifying suggested to me that he doesn't think he has the same equipment as Vettel; he said "we both got the most out of the car" despite the fact that he was 0.2s slower. He was pretty cold with Vettel after the race too.

I gave the race 5 out of 10.

Although there were spatterings of micro-excitement, there was no real sense of anticipation of what could happen, other than the McLarens and the Ferrari's. And we were deprived on one battle due to John Button urinating in Lewis' gearbox

A few attempts at career saving drives, notably from Adrian Sutil, but I do not think there will be any aspects of this race that I will remember fondly when the new season rolls into town next year.

I guess it wasnt helped by there being relatively little to race for, with all the titles being decided a while ago, and the WCC also being pretty much covered off, and the coverage of the midfield battle for the lower positions I felt was a little sparse, although, I think that other than Force India, the Renaults, Torro Rosso's and Saubers were unable to really excel.

 

[Andy Karter]

I went for 7 but I had hoped for much better. Where was the rain!

 

[Mephistopheles]

I gave it a 6 due to Button's late charge but not a good race which is odd because they usually are at that track.

 

[HammydiRestarules]

Went for 6 purely for the fact that the Force India boys were both in the points. Plus Sutil's pass on Rosberg was awesome and Jenson Button finishing 3rd was good too.

 

[Fenderman]

Could only give it a five because I had previously enjoyed India and Korea marginally more. (sorry about the dubious grammar!).

5. Dunno why. Where was the 100% chance of rain?

 

[FB]

I gave it 5 too. Not dull but not exciting either...

 

[Jos the Boss]

5. Dunno why. Where was the 100% chance of rain?

It was always 90%

Hmm. I blame Jos. Poor performance at the end of the season. Has he done enough to secure a 2012 seat in the CTA weather box?

I am fully commited to CTA despite Muzz606 offering me a higher presenting role! And may I remind you I got qually spot on?

For a standard race it was OK, if a bit dull. For a Brazilian GP it was pretty torrid. Still a 5, if just for Alonso's overtake
