[Shiroo]

That was WORST race, I've seen in a while.

Giving it 3 only for do'nuts and some not bad overtaking here and there.

[SealTheDiffuser]

Best Driver      Rosberg

Worst Driver    Kimi / Button

Best Team        FINDIA

Best Overtake  Sutil chicane against someone back...

[Arry2k]

Abore Dullbi Yawn Prix.

[Andrew Hope]

I'll give everything ratings out of 10.

 

Best Driver - Vettel was hang-myself/10

Worst Driver - Alonso was cut-my-wrists-like-that-corner/10

Best Team - Red Bull was jump-off-a-bridge/10

Best Overtake - Hulkenberg sandwich with the Toro Rossos was throw-myself-into-the-lake/10

And the race in a sentence... next race I'm going to keep a rope and a chair handy because it's only IndyCar in heaven.

[dreamer]

Best Driver - Vettel

Worst Driver - Maldonado

Best Team - Red Bull

Best Overtake - Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment - Massa on Hamilton

DRS + Tyres - Never liked them

And the race in a sentence... Boring 4/10

[quasi C]

Best Driver - Vettel

Worst Driver - probably Kimi

Best Team - Red Bull

Best Overtake - The one where there were 3 of them, can't remember the names.

Best Moment - Alonso pit exit quite exciting. wee sparks!

DRS + Tyres - OK

And the race in a sentence... Not too bad but unfortunately quite meaningless.

 

It's funny, a few years ago Alonso fighting Hamilton would've got everyone on their feet, now, given the circumstances, it's just a mere footnote. sad.

[Cyanide]

Best Driver -  Rosberg

Worst Driver - Kimi/Button

Best Team - Red Bull

Best Overtake - Hulkenberg vs. Toro Rossos

Best Moment - none

DRS + Tyres - Horrible

And the race in a sentence... - Worst race I've seen in a while with no interesting overtaking bar one, and where the leader was utterly dominant.  

 

0.5/10

[Crossmax]

Best Driver - Vettel

Worst Driver - none, everyone behaved

Best Team - Red Bull

Best Overtake - Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment - No moment really stood out. Kimi getting into his white SUV? Massa on Hamilton?

DRS + Tyres - A little more deg would've been nice. DRS seemed well measured.

And the race in a sentence... Boring, but some nice action nevertheless. 4/10

[Kelateboy]

Best Driver - Sebastian Vettel

Worst Driver - No standout

Best Team - RBR

Best Overtake -  Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment - Vettel's donuts

 

I give this race a 6/10.

[Pothead4Philosopher]

Heh -- Lewis, Kimi and Alonso having quite tough weekend will mean this race will be rated one of the worst of the year.

 

I gave it a 7; nothing special, but it was a race.

[scheivlak]

Best Driver Sebastian Vettel

Worst Driver Charles Pic I guess, plus Kimi and Button

Best Team Red Bull / Force India

Worst Team Toro Rosso, just waving Webber by and using Vergne as a road block for other drivers

Best Overtake Massa on Hamiton - and Hulk in between the Toros!

Best Moment Hulkenbergs trick, see above

DRS + Tyres pretty good 

And the race in a sentence... midfield scrimmage kept me interested until the chequered flag

 

A mild 7 / 10

[P0inters]

Best Driver Vettel ,Rosberg and Alonso

Worst Driver Gutierrez

Best Team Red Bull

Best Overtake Alonso on Hulkenberg and Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment  The race ending

DRS + Tyres Both worked out very well imo , but the DRS was slightly toopowerful.

And the race in a sentence...  Good midfield battles but boring out front yet again.

   

 

 

 

[mnmracer]

Not letting my rating being influenced by a driver I do or don't like, nor letting any short-sightedness about a race only being about p1 cloud my judgement, I gave it an 8. Lots of battles, very interesting to see the different tactics working out, and even the podium being challenged for a very long time.

[fisssssi]

Best Driver Vettel's autopilot? It's hard to give it to someone who was only racing for 300m. Rosberg, Alonso, Di Resta were good.

Worst Driver Gutierrez, for weaving.

Best Team There's only one team in F1 at the moment.

Best Overtake I liked Grosjean's late-braker.

Best Moment Hulkenberg in a Toro Rosso sandwich made me laugh.

DRS + Tyres DRS was fun, needing a bit of strategy to get past in and stay ahead through the second zone.

And the race in a sentence... Another race that would have been great if one driver wasn't in a class of their own.

[seahawk]

Best Driver di Resta

Worst Driver Hülkenberg
Best Team RBR
Best Overtake Massa on Hamitlon
Best Moment Vergne being honest about the incident with Alonso
 DRS + Tyres okay

Best Overtake Massa (double overtake)

Best Moment Dunkin' Donuts

10/10 Vettel wins, - Webber second - -Rosberg  third ... Dunkin' Donuts.... Perfect race for me...

Edited by RosannaG, 03 November 2013 - 16:46.

[Kobasmashi]

I gave a 4 which is pretty generous given that I fell asleep despite this race being early afternoon for me 

[maverick69]

 

Best Driver - Vettel. Great car or not, he totally spanked everyone.

Worst Driver - Kimi. Rookie mistake on his one and only corner.

Best Team - RBR, but also Force India a for a strong 6th and 10th.

Best Overtake - Alonso for getting away with it (as per usual).

Best Moment - Ermmmmm....... Cracking open a beer around lap 32?

DRS + Tyres - Doesn't really matter on a track as badly designed as that. Better to have given a 3 year old a crayon and a sheet of A4.

And the race in a sentence... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Nonesuch]

5/10 - Quite forgettable.

 

Best Driver: Vettel. It's embarrassing for the rest at this point.

Worst Driver: Maldonado. What's up with barging back onto the racetrack? At least he didn't straightline the chicane, but that was dangerous.

Best Team: Red Bull, but I'll give a nod to Force India. They had quite a decent run.

Best Overtake: Hülkenberg sneaking through between the two Toro Rosso's.

Best Moment: Massa overtaking Hamilton had me grin. That was a nice moment.

DRS + Tyres: Without the DRS this track would be worse than Monaco, but it's still a silly gimmick that I'd rather see gone from F1. Tyres seemed to hold out decently.

And the race in a sentence: Terrible, terrible track in a highly dubious country that once more proves that (oil)money can't buy everything.

[nosecone]

Best Vettel
Worst Charlie Whiting
best team RB
worst team FiA stewarts
Best overtake: sutil on bottas
best moment: The laugh about the penalty for Hulk and the non-penalty for Sutil. If you look at F1 races with humour they're are better than any Charlie Chaplin film
DRS+Tyres: The former needless the later not
And the race in a sentence: Driving on the track is optional, but don't dare to release the car if another one is coming 10 metre behind

 

not rated yet (Shall i rate it as a comedy film from Hollywood or as a car race? The former one gets a 8 the later one something around 3).

[Atreiu]

6 as in all that happened seemed to matter little and I should have stayed in bed.

[Crossmax]

Want to add:

Worst team: Lotus. Kimi should've started from the pit lane with a longer gearing and reduced downforce levels. Grosjean's second pit stop should've happened either when Webber and Rosberg pitted, or not at all (however, given the short first stint, a one-stopper was always going to be difficult).

[DanardiF1]

This was genuinely one of the worst Grand Prix I've ever seen, and I've seen the 99 Spanish Grand Prix.

[Crossmax]

You should rewatch the US GP from 2005 

Edited by Crossmax, 03 November 2013 - 20:59.

[Atreiu]

I see your Spain 99 and raise you a Hungaroring 2004.

Edited by Atreiu, 03 November 2013 - 18:03.

[SpartanChas]

Best Driver Vettel

Worst Driver Alonso? Button?

Best Team Red Bull

Best Overtake None stood out for me

Best Moment Donuts? nothing stood out for me.

DRS + Tyres GET RID OF 2x DRS ZONES! drivers getting passed and repassed is **** nobody wants to see. Tyres were just about as they should be.

And the race in a sentence... Boring DRS overtakes, questionable stewarding.

[DanardiF1]

I see your Spain 99 and raise you a Hungaroring 2004.

 

I can't remember a single thing from that race, so that would probably be there then.

 

 

[Jackmancer]

Seems I didn't miss much today.

[mnmracer]

This was genuinely one of the worst Grand Prix I've ever seen, and I've seen the 99 Spanish Grand Prix.

I take it you weren't around in the 60s, 70s and 80s? The 'golden era'?

[DanardiF1]

I take it you weren't around in the 60s, 70s and 80s? The 'golden era'?

 

Nope. The first Grand Prix I can remember watching was the 1990 British Grand Prix, sat on my dad's knee watching on army TV in Germany.

[alframsey]

Best Driver - Vettel

Worst Driver - Kimi

Best Team - RBR

Best Overtake - Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment - Can't think of one, probably the end.

DRS + Tyres - Not too bad, I still dislike both of them though.

And the race in a sentence... - I somehow accidentally gave the race a 7 when I intended to give a 5. It was a seriously mediocre race, I didn't enjoy it at all.

[pingu666]

****ing tedious race

[mnmracer]

Nope. The first Grand Prix I can remember watching was the 1990 British Grand Prix, sat on my dad's knee watching on army TV in Germany.

Did you also happen to watch the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix, which Prost won with a 22 second lead over his team-mate, who in turn was 12 seconds clear of the first non-Ferrari?

[Zava]

I gave it a 4, it was not really exciting. having three rounds of karting, which we finished 20 minutes before the start was much better

 

best moment was either the solar eclipse, or the donuts. as there were donuts last race, I'll go with the eclipse.

[alfa1]

I dont always set up three screens, but when I do, I'd prefer that the FIA have the common decency to provide me with an exciting race to make it worthwhile.

 

[Winter98]

Best Driver - Vettel

Worst Driver - none

Best Team - RBR

Best Overtake - Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment - Start

DRS + Tyres - hate the doubled up DRS zones.  Trying not to pass is silly

And the race in a sentence... - not bad

Edited by Winter98, 03 November 2013 - 23:52.

[ClubmanGT]

Best Driver - Probably Vettel

Worst Driver - Probably Kimi

Best Team - RBR 

Best Overtake -  Alonso's Trackmania moment

Best Moment - The best moment of the weekend was Carlos Sainz Jr collecting that 360 spin and continuing. 

DRS + Tyres - Tyres are a joke, variable compounds are a joke, double DRS is just stupid. 

And the race in a sentence... - What have we become?

[404KF2]

Usual rubbish race....

[f1RacingForever]

it had it's moments (ex, alonso pit exit, massa alonso battle) but for the most part it was boring. The track itself is plain and dull to look at. It has no personality and frankly i hope the get rid of it for this reason. Hopefully austin and brazil bring more entertainment. Better yet, lets just start 2014 already .

[f1RacingForever]

I dont always set up three screens, but when I do, I'd prefer that the FIA have the common decency to provide me with an exciting race to make it worthwhile.

 

wow. Thats a high level of commitment. Nice to know some fans still are very passionate about f1

[ThadGreen]

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Alonso?

Best Team RBR

Best Overtake Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment Vettel's Doughnuts

DRS + Tyres No Comment

And the race in a sentence... Very boring race only thing worse than the race was NBC's coverage of it.

[PayasYouRace]

Best Driver Vettel

Worst Driver Ricciardo? Seemed invisible this race.

Best Team Red Bull

Best Overtake Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment Alonso and JEV at the pit exit was genuinely exciting.

DRS + Tyres Tyres were fine. DRS was fine in the first zone but too effective in the 2nd.

And the race in a sentence... Left me cold.

 

6/10

[Kristian]

Its depressing what F1 has become - just driving round on featureless car parks, in super reliable cars with no tension of knowing a driver could make a mistake and end up in the kitty litter or blow up to change the lead of the race. 

 

I still love the sport, but inside of me something dies everytime I watch a race this year. 

[RB1]

Gave the race a 6. A few battles but nothing overly exciting. Pity Kimi was out on the first lap.

 

Best Driver - Vettel. Rosberg had another good race. 

Worst Driver - Button. Terrible Qualy. Terrible race.

Best Team - Red Bull

Best Overtake - Massa on Hamilton. Also Hulk on both Torro Rosso's.

Best Moment - Sutil, Hamilton, Massa battle.

DRS + Tyres - Tyres were good, the drivers could push. DRS was a bit too powerful, most overtakes in the second DRS zone were done well before turn 11. 

And the race in a sentence... You can overtake going off the track but only if you are called Fernando Alonso.

[MauricioNP]

Best Driver : Vettel

Worst Driver : Kimi 

Best Team : RedBull

Best Overtake: Massa on Hamilton

Best Moment: Alonso/ Verne / Massa

DRS + Tyres: DRS is saving "Mickey Mouse" tracks... 

And the race in a sentence...and Vettel did it again...
