Alonso fans will give it a 10, Vettel/Hammy fans will give it a 1.
Not many people are unbiased and vote on the race as a whole, rather than how their favourite did.

I give the race a 1 because Pirelli has made the series a complete joke.
#10
Posted 12 May 2013 - 13:56
Call that a motor race?
I would of given it a 0 if Vettel had won before anybody even says anything.
2 stops and only 20 laps in. oh please
No driver pushed hardly.
Terrible.

The title "race" is open.
Unfortunately this is not the Formula 1 I am used to.
Unacceptable that drivers are strongly advised not to race each other.

Worst Driver : Well Hamilton I guess, but that was mainly down to the tyres
Best Team : Ferrari
Best Overtake : There was overtaking? Probably Alonso and Vettel on Hamilton on Lap 1
Best Moment : The end that signified a waste of an hour and forty minutes
DRS and Tyres : DRS was good, but tyres were pathetic really.....
Dominated by tyres, worth a three of ten, and thats being impartial.

This was anything but a competitive race. Disgrace not seen for very long time.

I have never been actively against Pirelli but this race particularly is just.... boring. Close to zero racing, top 5 drivers all 10 sec apart of each other, apart from the first few laps nothing is really interesting.

Mostly because of the Spanish crowd and the sight of Alonso winning on home turf, but the gaps between drivers across the entire grid was not good for racing or television. This is more pit stops for the wrong reasons and hasn't stimulated entertainment in any way. The fluctuations between races is too great. The team that gets it right have a fantastic time while those who don't are reduced to racing themselves.
#23
Posted 12 May 2013 - 14:09
Gave it a 2 because of that one tyre flying around, that added some excitement. Otherwise it would have been a 1.
Oh, forgot about the questions:
Best Driver: Dunno, Kimi maybe. At least he was best at keeping the tyres together. So I guess he was best at driving his car.
Worst Driver: can't really say, most of the bad moments were probably due to the tyres
Best Team: Ferrari, they seem to have a really good car now
Best Overtake: Have not seen a real overtake, just drivers letting other drivers through because they were told not to race. Wait, I think Alonso had a nice overtake at the start of the race.
Best Moment: The tyre flying around. Wish it had hit a Pirelli sign, though.
DRS + Tyres: the horror

Well done by top three -- Ferrari looking good today, Kimi did what he could.

Magnificent Ferrari driven by magnificent Alonso gets magnificent win.
Everything else a disappointment. Raikonnen once again successfully avoids racing on way to second place in tyre-conserving Lotus. Red Bull off the pace, Mercedes perhaps the greatest contrast between qualy and race performance I have ever seen. Very little actual racing despite two DRS zones, fragile tyres and big differences in pace between cars.

"Dont race"
"Go slower"
"look after your tires"
"slow down and look after your tires more"
Complete joke.

Perhaps the tires are becoming self-aware. VDG's left rear saying "Sod it. I want no part of this backlash. I'm off!"Gave it a 2 because of that one tyre flying around, that added some excitement. Otherwise it would have been a 1.

Best Driver Best Go Slower Driver
Worst Driver - Best Go Faster Driver
Best Team - Baby Cotton Socks Racing
Best Overtake - The one where the guy accidently pressed DRS while in reverse and still overtook.
Best Moment - Watching Startrek: Into Darkness yesterday.
DRS + Tyres - It could be worse, the could give the drivers sticks and a tyre and tell them to get on with it, SC in wet weather would be interesting...

The problem is that there is a certain driver who can't make them work who has a lot of noisy fans who want a sprint race format to give him a chance of winning all the trophies he said he would.

If anyone could drop me a PM if F1 comes back this year that would be super thanks.
As an aside, did anyone else notice this was an especially lengthy race for Barcelona? I believe it was around the 100 minute mark. These cars are not running at anything like a fast pace.

The tyres aren't a problem - the best drivers make it work because they can adapt.
The problem is that there is a certain driver who can't make them work who has a lot of noisy fans who want a sprint race format to give him a chance of winning all the trophies he said he would.
Not necessarily true - I much prefer Alonso to Hamilton - I simply don't enjoy this form of racing.

Best Driver: Alonso. His first laps are excellent and he cuts it extremely close, which has good sides (today) but bad ones as well (Japan last year).
Worst Driver: Hard to say. Didn't see anything spectacular.
Best Team: Ferrari. Double podium, good pace throughout the race on both tyres.
Best Overtake: Alonso on Raikkonen and Hamilton was great. Vettel making a non-DRS assisted move on Rosberg after the first stops, I think it was, was pretty good thinking too.
Best Moment: The opening laps, I suppose.
DRS + Tyres: DRS is silly, and the tyres were even worse than usual, which is quite an achievement. "I can't go any slower", kinda says it all.
And the race in a sentence: I'm happy for Alonso, Ferrari and the Spanish crowd! Great day for them - and myself! But the tyre regulations need to get dumped into the Mediterranean as soon as possible and replaced with an open competition between different manufacturers.
