Nothing like a spot of rain - rate the Japanese Grand Prix.

Went for an 8 on this one; crap start with all the confusion, but the action at the end (FM & RK) as well as seeing who was tagging who...yeah quite a good race It didn't make me fall asleep so it wasn't all that bad

Fantastic...worth getting up at 5am for! I love wet races.

[Calorus]

I'd wake up at 4 on the dot every day of my life for a wet motorrace. (Ideally not Le Mans, unless i could work from home...)

[BorderReiver]

Superbly entertaining, but hampered by all the silly shennanigans at the start.

[emburmak]

Fantastic race--9. The only reason I am not giving it a 10 is the nonsense at the start.

[BorderReiver]

Can I just say, regardless on your views of the results, whoever voted "a bit dull" is an enormous cretin ;).

I imagine that person would find an orgy with underwear models where they pay you for your time a bit tedious.

Great motor racing. Extremely challenging conditions for cars that were struggling even behind the pace car...overtaking...drama. Yep, I liked it

[Mauseri]

Best race of the year. I thought this circuit would provide a good race in the wet, and sure it did.

I'm also happy that Hamilton won. At least he can be thought as a deserving WDC with another win, a win in the wet where he beat Alonso the rainmaster.

Great race! If it wasnt for the 20 laps under the safety car I'd give it a 10. It had everything including a last lap classic dice. And the drivers who made it to the end showed that they are amongst the best in the world

Best race of the year!

Gerry was more generous than me. I rated it as 'good' because at that time of morning the first 20 minutes proved just so very boring that I almost went to sleep. Once it got going - excellent.

[president evil]

I voted Good because it wasn't as exciting as other wet races of years gone by and I think thats because it was just TOO wet so the drivers were maybe a little more cautious. Oh and Hamilton had a relatively trouble free ride with the clearest view out of the whole grid generally so compared to others he had it quite easy.

[Dmitriy_Guller]

It was a 0 the first 19 laps, and a 10 afterwards. Therefore I give it a 7.

I couldn't agree more. I almost forgave the SC period but then came into my senses and gave 9 too. Sprinkler systems, used randomly and frequently, that's my medicine for fixing F1.

Somebody actually voted boring!!

I guess lots of FA fanboys lurked onto the poll and lurked off again!!!

[Tenmantaylor]

Boring? Rubbish? Tedious?

If Schumacher had made a suprise comeback for ferrari, lapped the field and taken both the mclarens out in the process with a well placed apex punt and sported a charlie chaplin moustache on the top step Idve still given this race a 9/10.

Some people don't know a good thing when it smacks them in the face.

Or Webber, or Williams, or Ralf...no, wait, scrub that last one.

One of them was me.


Not that I found the race boring but more as a reaction to certain people (Waves at Border Reiver) who seemed to get all worked up about an anonymous straw poll.

[Orin]

God, I thought we were in for 30 laps behind the car and then race aborted. Well done the FIA for allowing the best race of the season by far.
