The thing that frustrated me the most about it was the huge discrepancy in lap times. 3rd place was almost 50 seconds behind, 4th place was almost a minute and a half behind and 5th place was lapped, which bizarrely was a Mercedes... The last car to finish was lapped 3 times!
It ended up not being a race, and more of "overtaking on blue flags on people who are fighting for position themselves" which on a few occasions gave a bit of opportunity for cars to catch each other up and race, only for them to overtake with DRS.
I'm not convinced that the race has actually finished - Haas might still be trundling round to actually complete race distance as we speak

The racing was rubbish, but the race was good.
Do you think the racing was rubbish for everyone or just at the front?
I'd say for everyone. We've had much more explosive midfield fights before, so this wasn't as interesting.
There wasn't even the nyeow guy.

Certainly didn't live up to the preface hype, unfortunately.
Good thing there's a 2 week break till Brazil!
