[jestaudio]

Best driver Ricciardo, douch of the race Rosberg, i would love to know what the stewards were smoking letting him **** like that

[Kristian]

I wasn't sat down for much of it, so a rare 10 for me. 

[KingTiger]

Best Driver - Ricciardo
Worst Driver - Rosberg
Best Team - Force India
Best Overtake Massa on Perez and Vettel simultaneously
Best Moment - Ricciardo overtaking him
DRS + Tyres - Tires very good, could do without DRS

[zztopless1]

Best Driver: Ricciardo
Worst Driver: Chilton
Best Team: Red Bull
Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Perez
Best Moment: Ricciardo taking the chequered flag
DRS + Tyres: Seemed ok, as far as these things go.

 

10/10 for me, favourite driver wins his first race in a thriller, can't ask for much more...

[zztopless1]

Best Overtake Massa on Perez and Vettel simultaneously

 

I see what you did there 

[thegamer23]

Lol at worst driver Rosberg.

[Jon83]

Best Driver - Ricciardo
Worst Driver - Chilton
Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - Any that weren't mainly down to DRS
Best Moment - Massa and Perez getting out of their cars
DRS + Tyres - DRS is not needed here IMO

And the race in a sentence... - Best race of the season IMO. I'm glad someone other than Mercedes won it. Again, delighted that Perez and Massa got out of their cars after that accident. 

[seahawk]

Best Driver - Perez
Worst Driver - Massa
Best Team - Mercedes
Best Overtake - Ricciadro on Perez
Best Moment - Dani passes Perez
DRS + Tyres - good

 

Overall a 5 - the race was good but we need to consider that the Merc was missing 160HP and still fighting for the win. That is ridiculous if you think about it.

[Jon83]

Lol at worst driver Rosberg.

 

I know - no idea how that conclusion can be reached!

[Skinnyguy]

9, epic race

 

Best driver: Vettel or Ricciardo

Worst driver: Räikkönen

Best team: Red Bull

Best overtake: pretty sure Button on Alonso and Hulk must have been great, even without having seen it.

Best moment: the moment I realized Mercedes were in trouble. Spanish commentators babling totally lost during the Rosberg/Hamilton fight. Embarrasing.

DRS was spot on, tyres were OK.

[BobbyRicky]

Best Driver - Ricciardo and Rosberg: Ric for doing everything he had to do and Rosberg for actually managing to finish 2nd with that drop of power. Honorable mention to Button.
Worst Driver - Chilton
Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - Felipe Perez on Vettel   
Best Moment - Merc's problems and everything that followed(Massa and Perez not hurt is awesome aswell)
DRS + Tyres - nah

 

Best race for a long time, 11/10

[Risil]

"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. The human drama of athletic competition."

 

That's as good as F1 gets. Which thankfully is very good.

[Nemo1965]

I thought nothing could beat Bahrain. I was wrong.

 

Best driver:

 

1. Rosberg and Ricciardo. Rosbergs last twenty laps were really, really special.

2. Hamilton. Poor guy. He was very good, bad luck.

3. Best overtake: Button on Hulkenburg. Not seen it, but in the last chicane. Damn!

4. Worst driver: One could say Chilton, but if you subtract mistake from experience and car-potential: Felipe Massa.

[ZF1]

I know - no idea how that conclusion can be reached!

Disgruntled Hamilton fan for sure 

[HoldenRT]

One of those rare races where all of the stars aligned.

[Kristian]

lol I hope whoever voted 1 is never allowed to influence decision making in f1's future!

[Disgrace]

Excellent race - albeit spoiled by DRS and a moronic FOM director. I preferred the Mercedes dual in Bahrain to the Canadian chaos to be honest, but that's more of a question of which day you ask me on.

[AlexisBT]

Best Driver : Daniel Ricciardo
Worst Driver : Max Chilton
Best Team : Red Bull
Best Overtake : Ricciardo on Rosberg
Best Moment : Bianchi, Massa and Perez walking out of their car unhurt!

 

[Stallknecht]

Great race. Not much to say. A clear 9 for me.

[Nonesuch]

Rated it 7/10 - a nice race, with some spectacle and a decent amount of excitement throughout.

 

Best Driver: Sergio Pérez - he almost won the race for Rosberg! All kidding aside, he put in quite an impressive run on those tyres. Shame it ended the way it did. Note: Now that I've seen some more of that late race crash, it's hard to credit Pérez as the best driver of the day. It's a shame that he cannot seem to grow out of getting involved in these dubious crashes.
Worst Driver: Max Chilton - not only did he crash his teammate out of the race, and not only was he unwilling to take the blame, he also robbed us of 10% of the Grand Prix by forcing the safety car onto the track.
Best Team: Red Bull - two cars on the podium, can't argue much with that.
Best Overtake: Hard to say, I suppose I'll give the nod to Button for not giving up untill the very end.
Best Moment: Apart from some nice racing moments, I'd have to say Massa and Pérez both being OK was a good moment.
DRS + Tyres: Tyres seemed quite strong, though of course the idea behind them remains silly. DRS was as usual here in Canada. Which isn't good.

And the race in a sentence: Unexpected and proverbial bonk on the head for Hamilton, with Ricciardo picking up the pieces and taking a well deserved first victory!

 

Additional note: Here's hoping the 'expert' director gets a new job soon. The camera on the pit-exit missed all the cars going through turns 1 and 2, we saw enough generic blondes and nondescript hangers-on to last us through the whole season, and worst of all: reaction shots of the audience while the action was taking place. Also, what's up with having almost no useful information on lap times etc. while the Mercedes drivers were having their initial problems? Terrible effort.

[metz]

Very thrilling race. 9/10

Best drive for Ricciardo for winning against the ods and Rosberg for holding it together under extreme circumstances but most of all Perez for a stunning performance.

Worst Driver Massa for blowing his own and other drivers results. Massa was a total ass move. Kimi made a fool of himself today.

Best team: RedBull and FI

Best overtake: Perez on Vettel

Best Moment: The podium

Today, DRS and Tyres were not as much of an issue as vuel.

[FenderJaguar]

10/10

even though it was a bad race for Ferrari

Best Driver - Ricciardo, good moves he made when he went from third to first
Worst Driver - he wasn't the worst but honorably mention to Rosberg, I wanted him to beat Hamilton before the race but he made a couple of mistakes that probably should have cost him the race
Best Team - Williams?
Best Overtake - Ricciardo on Perez
Best Moment - Bottas getting told he has to move over so he decides to try and pass, finally, and that makes Massa being able to pass 2 cars. I think some drivers should try to pass more, faster, but maybe it is the regulations

[Longtimefan]

10/10 for me.

 

Superb race indeed!

 

Excellent and well deserved win for Dan!

Great driving by Nico, I was impressed how he got that car home..  reminded me of Schumi stuck in gear.  excellent stuff and well deserved 2nd place.

Shame for Lewis, Massa and Perez.

 

Chilton easily wins worst driver for me.

[ANF]

10. Doesn't get any bizarrer than that.

[ionutf1fan]

I gave it an 8, because the TV transmission seemed mediocre to me. It seemed that it missed all the important moments and the replays were awfull.

[Cyanide]

Best Driver: Ricciardo

Worst Driver: Raikkonen

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Massa on Alonso

 

Race was very close to a 9 for me. But I only give it an 8 because it was largely influenced by the Mercedes problems. Would have been entertaining without that as well, but not quite as good as it turned out to be. 

[dreamer]

Best Driver - Ricciardo
Worst Driver - Chilton
Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - Ricciardo vs Perez... That move gave him the race I think
Best Moment - Ricciardo's win
DRS + Tyres - .......

A very good race 8/10

[midgrid]

the race was good but we need to consider that the Merc was missing 160HP and still fighting for the win. That is ridiculous if you think about it.

I was too young to watch the 1994 Spanish Grand Prix live, but I imagine that Schumacher's rivals on that day had a similar feeling after he was still competitive enough to finish in second despite being stuck in fourth gear for two-thirds of the race.

[A310V6]

Race 9/10

TV director 1/10

[P123]

Best Driver - Button- ahead of a FI, a Williams and both Ferrari's. Great job! Honorable mention to Danny Ric for leapfrogging his teammate and going on to take his first victory, and also Nico's final 20 laps.
Worst Driver- Kobayashi, lost count of the number of spins he had this weekend. Kimi also had a bit of a mare.
Best Team- Red Bull (not Merc for once- issues with both cars)
Best Overtake- Ricciardo for the victory
Best Moment- Probably when both Mercs started plodding, also a new winnner in Ricciardo.
DRS + Tyres- DRS ugly at Montreal, tyres fine.

Race- 8/10 (7/10 with bonus for a new winner) . Tense race throughout.

[Heisenberg]

10/10 amazing race! Best race thus far in 2014 for me.

 

Best Driver:

Worst Driver:

Best Overtake:

DRS & tyres - DRS did its job, tyres were  in the background as they should be.

 

In a sentence - great to see a new winner, and a confidence-inspiring race for some who've been shut-out by Mercedes thus far.

[Longtimefan]

Two voted it 1/10?

 

I can only assume they can't read the 'Please rate the race objectively and not on your favourite drivers result'?

[redreni]

Best Driver - Button
Worst Driver - Chilton
Best Team - Red Bull

Best Moment - Seeing Massa and Perez take out their steering wheels after the accident
DRS + Tyres - Super Mario Flap still way, way overdone. Tyres fine.

 

Great race, incredible tension, close finish, gripping battle between the Merc drivers until the MGU-K failure, great job by Rosberg to nurse the car home with massive horsepower deficit and no ERS harvesting on the rear axle, at the hardest track of the year on brakes, glad race wasn't decided by right-front wheelgun man's cock-up. 9/10.

[nosecone]

 
Best Driver     -- Ricciardo
Worst Driver   -- Chilton
Best Team       -- RBR (got the most points this weekend)
Best Overtake-- RIC on ROS (it was an important overtake although it was the usual DRS-rubbish)
Best Moment  -- seeing JB in 4th position on live timing 
DRS + Tyres   -- DRS as usual (too big impact on racing) Tyres are ok

And the race in a sentence...  Probably the best race in 2014

 

 

9/10 (reliability problems were the determining factor. -1 for me)

Race 10/10

 

Best Driver Nico Rosberg. Kept cool when under attack from Lewis and then steered the car home to make the most out of a bad situation. Special mention for Daniel.
Worst Driver Perez
Best Team Red Bull
Best Overtake Daniel on Perez I guess *shrug*
Best Moment Daniel Ricciardo winning his first grand prix   
DRS + Tyres OK

And the race in a sentence... Wow. This is what we call racing. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

[Spillage]

Perfect race. In doubt 'til the end. Mercedes had it, then they lost it, then they had it again, then they lost it again. And a first-time winner thrown into the bargain!

Best Driver: Rosberg. Today shows why he can beat Hamilton. He capitalised on Hamilton's mistake in qualifying, pushed the rules to the limit at the start and later maximised everything by nursing a crippled car to within two laps of victory, albeit somewhat fortuitously. This is a big, big weekend for the championship and these are the attributes he'll need to win the WDC this year.

Worst Driver: I keep saying and I keep thinking that the Williams is a better car than its drivers are making it look. Look at Massa today; he killed his tyres when he had a great shot at victory, he failed to pass any of the cars he needed to win and then he creamed into the back of Perez on the final lap. Still, he had more pace than his teammate, so I guess it's hard to overlook Chilton today. Kvyat appeared to be having a shocker as well.

Best Team: Not Mercedes, for the first time this year. FI did a good job with the car they had, Mclaren did well to somehow get Button into fourth but I suppose with two on the podium it has to be RB.

Best Overtake: Urrrrrm. Niggling lack of overtaking for lots of the race, as it happens. Perhaps it has to be Ricciardo's on Perez, which ultimately won him the race.

Best Moment: The instant both Mercs developed issues and it became apparent they weren't going to win the race. And they still only lost it on the penultimate lap.

DRS + Tyres: DRS is usually overpowered, but I was glad of it and that lap-after-lap train showed how little overtaking there'd have been without it. Tyres were good with two different strategies viable.

And the race in a sentence: Wowowowowowowowow. 10/10.

[PayasYouRace]

Excellent race. 10/10

 

Best Driver Nico Rosberg. Great job with a wounded car. If he ends up as this year's WDC, he can point to this race as the reason why.
Worst Driver Hard to pick a standout worst. A few had ups and downs.
Best Team Red Bull. Maximised their result on a day when they weren't expected to do well.
Best Overtake Ricciardo on Perez I guess.
Best Moment The moment it was obvious that the Mercs were in trouble and we had a real race on our hands.
DRS + Tyres Seemed about right again.

 

In a sentence: If you didn't enjoy this race you can stop calling yourself a motor racing fan.

[Viceroy]

Best Driver: Button
Worst Driver: Massa
Best Team: Force India
Best Overtake: Alonso on Bottas
Best Moment: Ricciardo taking the checkered flag

Rating: 10/10

 

Absolutely great, but I wish there was a gravel trap in the last corner.

Edited by Viceroy, 09 June 2014 - 00:09.

[ThadGreen]

The only negative comment I can make about the race was the camera cutting to the pits or the crowd when there was action on track.

 

Gave it a 10, best race in quite a while.

[KTownDevil]

Best Driver - Rosberg
Worst Driver - Chilton
Best Team - Red Bull
Best Overtake - No chance without DRS
Best Moment - Rosberg to score 18points 
DRS + Tyres - Half a race on supersofts? They're way too hard. 

[Shiroo]

Best Driver: Ricciardo
Worst Driver: Chilton
Best Team: RBR
Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Hulkenberg
Best Moment: Ricciardo taking the checkerd flag
DRS + Tyres: perfect

 

10/10 from me.

 

I have no idea how can could rate it as 1/10 seriously.

[Anderis]

It's incredible that crazy stuff and races always have to happen in Canada. Incredible circuit.   10/10 for Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

[Massa_f1]

I wonder what score this race would of got had both Mercedes not hit trouble?

[Risil]

I wonder what score this race would of got had both Mercedes not hit trouble?

 

Probably not as high, but building a car that can last the whole race is part of the sport.

[Gareth]

9/10 - a fantastic race

 

Best Driver - Ricciardo, excellent pace and the move on Perez was superb
Worst Driver - Chilton, taking out yourself and your team mate ... not good.
Best Team - Force India - good strategy call
Best Overtake - Ricciardo on Perez for the race win, effectively.  Really brave, so close to putting him off the podium but took the glory instead
Best Moment - the best overtake
DRS + Tyres - worked well
