Poll 2016 European Grand Prix - Out of Ten

[Greenlantern101]

How did you rate it?

 

[RasputinLives]

Promised so much and delivered an absolute snoozefest.

If it wasn't for the banter in chat I would have been firmly asleep.

4.

 

[rufus_mcdufus]

Disappointing.

 

[sobriety]

Really dull. And made worse by attempting to compete with Le Mans, which was brilliant.

3. Because there were a couple of overtakes.

 

[TR]

Damn that was disappointingly boring.

One observation: this track would be a lot better without the second DRS zone between turn 2 and 3. (Or at least a second DRS detection point between turn 1 and 2). Currently, drivers are mostly overtaking at/before turn 1. and then getting DRS to help defend their position on the straight between 2 and 3. Without this we should at least get some interesting back and forward position exchanges.

 

[Speshal]

I gave it a 6, lots of overtakes, drafting, got a bit dull towards the end, and PC problems afflicting some drivers and poo radio rules but not terrible for a new circuit.

 

[Titch]

5 the first bit was Okay. And then we had Eddie J on the podium.

 

[pirateplunder]

Hard to imagine a more dull race. Kimi's radio message and lewis attempts to change settings were as good as it got. 2

6. Perhaps generous. Not as good as expected. What happened to the promised SC, VSC, and red flags?

 

[teabagyokel]

The number dropped continuously throughout, but 5.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Wow, how glad am I that I only caught the last 9 laps. Seems like this will take some beating as poorest race of the season judging by the scores. Due to my lack of viewing over the whole weekend I won't be voting.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Good start but fizzelled out. I do like the track but the race was just dull.

A slightly generous 5 just for the overtaking at the start.

 

[gethinceri]

5. DRS was the winner.
Croft pissed me off for spoiling Le Mans for me, what a ****.
Di Resta pissed me off for his bollocks about Pit/Car radio, he knows fuck all, he's the John Snow of commentary, what a ****.

 

[gethinceri]

In fact, I've reflected for 30 seconds and it now scores 3.

 

[RasputinLives]

Di Resta is a ****. Bet he blamed every mistake he made in commentary on the team.

 

[FB]

Two for the race and two because Baku looked pretty. Some may recall I wasn't much of fan of Jenson Button in his Championship year, although that view has mellowed now, I now feel that Nico Rosberg is the dullest driver in F1. His faux excitement when he wins is SOOO boring.

 

[gethinceri]

I infer that you think it's Nico's championship year FB.

 

[FB]

Possiblurg, as they say in France.

 

[Dario Resta]

A disappointing 4. After the excitement and carbon fibre fest of GP2 it was like they were all out for a Sunday drive - which, of course, they were. They could probably ditch DRS for this track.

 

[Bill Boddy]

If they dropped DRS there would only be about two overtakes. An awful race circuit. With no fans.
