Overtaking isn't everything - I think the Spanish race proved that . The first half was awful, but the second half had a load of what ifs and close racing.
I went into the race with no expectations, but I did enjoy that, as mjo says, overtaking isn't everything, some good scraps as well thanks to Sutil and Perez
7 for me, 10s are exclusive for Lewis wins! But a lot of action and it was more strategy than tyres unlike in Spain, would have liked to see Seb attack Nico, "but satisfaction," is arguably radio message of the season so far!
The build up to the race inspired interest......Merc lock-out front row...great team start..shutting out Seb...
It would have been an 7 but LH was too kind & compromised his own positon.....(in future...don't do it Ethel) ...-1
but a Nico win is well worth a point...& so should Perez givin it some welli.... +1
So I'll give an 8
Although, the top 4 was sorted after the first safety car which ruined everything, as it didn't let the Alonso and Raikkonen do something about Vettel's championship lead. Just shows, track position is key, Mercedes ran the race at their own pace while the others followed, the undercut or staying out longer won't work here due to the traffic.
For me, Mercedes got lucky with the first safety car as it came out on time for them to pit, and after that, it was over for the win.
Perez, Grosjean, Maldonado and Sutil livened it up a bit.
Overall, the race had too many stop/starts, but it was still enjoyable.
Leaning towards 6 as jez101 says, it was a bit of procession but the safety car and crashes masked it.
