Then Michael retired, ending the championship and excitement in this race.
10 for the first part, 1 for the second. I give it overall a 6.

Nothing spectacular on track, the excitement coming from the "battle" between Michael and Fernando and some backmarkers crashing their cars.

That had to be one of the worst directed Grand Prix of the year.

It was the less exciting race in a long while, probably since France.

Well, on screen action was missing....
I'm surprised by by some of the opinions here. I thought it was a good race - tense, with a fair number of passes and a couple of great drivers on the limit at the front.

Quite! Appalling. Can the FIA or Bernie not give instructions saying that simply concentrating on your own country's teams or drivers will be punished in the same way that politicising podium ceremonies is.Originally posted by slick1jayj
The tv race director should have been shot. That had to be one of the worst directed Grand Prix of the year.
This is not a nation v nation sport, and this British viewer supports a German driving an Italian car. We are not all raving nationalists, and the TV production should not be directed as such.

Or how about a director & steward set that goes to every race & has no bias what so ever because their job would be on the line?Originally posted by RDM

i wanted michael to be in with a chance for an 8th. Glad i finally got to see him race in Barcelona even though he wasn't competative there.
The amount of passes we had to watch via replay was appalling.

BTW I don't think we where robbed of too much (regarding a final showdown) by MS engine blow-up. Everything indicates that Ferrari have the better package and if MS would have gone to Interlagos with a two (effectively three) point lead, the WDC would have been almost as sealed as it appears today. Especially because then we would still have considered the chance of a Ferrari breaking down close to zero - unlike now ;)
The perfect result in Suzuka would have been 1. FA, 2. MS, so that the faster combination would have to do the catch-up, but that never looked likely.
