A great race in Malaysia, as it often is. Rrefreshing to see a spinning car end up beached in the gravel! What happened to Herman Tilke after designing this place? It was all downhill afterwards.

Thought it was a great race today, compared to Oz.

8.5/10

8.

The scrap after the safety car was brilliant. Mercedes among lots of midfield runners. Lots of fighting, and even contacts. And of course an interesting strategical scenario of the race! And an unexpected result!

This was a great race for me! Will give it 8.5/10.

A ten is on the cards when Kimi wins.

8/10
great start
Lots of wheel to wheel due to cars out of position from quali.
Thanks to Ericsson for bringing the safety car out. That was the tipping point of the race. It may have been a procession at the front otherwise

8. A big improvement from Australia

8.99 out of 10

Qually shook the field up some, the safety car shook things up a little more, and there were a lot of great battles on track. Plenty of clean driving from a lot of pilots, and a few bonehead moves as well.

And the fact that Ferrari are taking the fight to Mercedes is that .49 added on top!

Formula1.com was stupid enough to give a wrong time for the race start so I missed 15 laps of this race. What I did see though was quite excellent.

A pass for P1 is what makes a good race into great. Mercedes being cut to size (although only perhaps on such an attritional race track). I was left wondering about Alonso's bad career choice and Vettel always being at the right place at the right time. Of course he drove well to deserve this one.

8/10

[A FONDO]

I can't give more than six. There was some drama in the midfield as it should be and the podium was all about tyre strategies. Very far from eight. Six is good enough.

[N. Jones]

A solid 8. battles all around, drivers and teams making all sorts of errors. And no monsoon to stop the race!

10/10 from me, guess why ? :p:

[Mark]

10/10 from me, guess why ? :p:

Because it was unexpected?

[pino]

Yes and because it took almost two years. Listening the German and Italian anthems together, gave me a big emotion ! :)

[Mark]

I'm sure Michael would have liked that one :D

[anfield5]

Wouldn't go as far as saying it was great, but it was good. Result was great, seeing Merc beaten fair and square.
7/10

[yodasarmpit]

It was a strong 6 or possibly 7, some good midfield action but not enough close fighting at the front.
All in all a good race.

This was a good sprinting race. The Mercedes were caught with their pants down. The Mercedes radio communications were hilarious sometimes. There were good battles in the mid-field. I am surprised that more cars didn't DNF because of collisions. A second safety car could have changed the podium picture.

8/10
