Your thoughts?

Good start, good finish and dull as dish water in the middle.

The mercs crashing was great as was the max win. Not an easy one to forget so elevates it to a 7 for me.

Absolute corker. Loved it!

 

[teabagyokel]

Very interesting from start to finish. 7.

Be nice if there was some overtaking.

 

[FB]

10 as we have a new race winner.

 

[Titch]

6 the dull bit in the middle was a bit too long.

 

[Galahad]

There was more than you might think. Mostly Haryanto though.

 

[FB]

How many cars did Rio overtake then?

 

[Bill Boddy]

There was much of interest especially if you were keeping an eye on the timing. There can be tension when one driver is closing in on another bit by bit.

 

[rufus_mcdufus]

The lack of overtaking at the front was a bit frustrating but I loved the uncertainty of it. It was a great strategic race.

10. Finally have a different driver and team to have won a race. Also it was a novelty to not have the German national anthem played at the podium ceremony.

 

[Dario Resta]

7 from me. Not as exciting as maybe it should have been with both Mercs out. 10 out of 10 to Max and a great effort from Sainz. Would have been nice for Fernando to have scored some points at home, and good to see a sensible outcome on the Rosberg / Hamilton merge on the verge.

 

[Road of Bones]

That was an old-school race- really enjoyed that! 7 from me

Not the first time the dutch national anthem was played at the podium ceremony though.

I Don't often go for a ten but had too today. First race in a long time where I've been on the edge of my seat throughout.

All 4 front drivers driving brilliantly, tactics and strategy really coming into it and a big old team mate crash to boot!

I'm intrigued - I don't know of any Dutch teams which have won in F1 - was it once played by mistake?

I gave the race a 9, I confess, not on the basis of having seen it all. I watched the first few laps and the last 20, having been off to inspect my beehives in between. I really wasn't expecting to see Max leading... I'd be happy to overlook a bit of a mid-race lull on the basis of the tension of those last laps.

Yes, for Peterson in Austria 1978.
It's a fun fact

 

[aaron8831]

Gave it 8, would've been a 10 if Kimi could have made the pass for the win. Very exciting race and a great result for the sport in my opinion. It's a lot more fun when Mercedes isn't involved isn't it?

 

[KekeTheKing]

Fantastic result for the sport. Tight battle at the front. Easily an 8

 

[Spinodontosaurus]

6. It was ok, but there was very little actual action and while the front 4 were close there wasn't any tension because it is impossible to pass and it was obvious who would finish where after Ricciardo/Vettel adopted their alternate strategies.
