Here are a bit too many tables about how the Quality and Satisfaction Rating averages given for the races in the last three seasons correlate to Race and Voting results for drivers/teams, track etc. You may draw your own conclusions from all this, but I note that the Voting base seems to be more pro-Kimi than pro-Michael, that Ralf Schumacher wins boring races, and that table 7 is a big "screw you!" to Bernie.
