3. Damn boring. Button's KERS failure ruined what should've been a good battle even if he doesn't seem to think he had the pace. Great looking track but it just doesn't bloody work.

I just thought it was hilarious how people spent a few laps passing in the first DRS zone then getting re-passed when they were a second a lap quicker. Braindead.

I found it hard to stay awake during this boring boring boring race. I'm really looking forward to Interlagos now.

What I did find funny was the behaviour of some of the backmarkers, did everybody forget what a blue flag was this weekend? It was like some amateur karting event at times.

Maldonado deserved a black flag in my opinion, he'd already been penalised before he took the piss with Webber.

+1 Awful race. Yet it still gets votes of 7???

Admittedly I found it rather enjoyable...purely because the winner couldn't be predicted with 99.99% accuracy.

The hunt of Hamilton by Alonso lasted most of the race, the battle for 3rd etc...I thought there were far worse races this season. The circuit is boring, but again I found not knowing who was gonna win rather refreshing.

Edit - DRS is a farce though, its too artificial and only benefits the already faster cars.

Hes begining to acquire a bit of a history behind him.

Was working Sunday so had it Sky+'d. Thank fcuk i did,ended up skipping through a lot of it. Would have no problem with this race being dropped from the calender.

unfortunitly it's probably the least likely track to be dropped due to the endless money they have over there to put into it, for Abu Dabai it's just about showing everything off anyway (and sticking one in against Dubai )

Good to see Vettel have a problem for once +1 point

Gave it a 6. Was a bit boring but some of that might have been to do with the championship being over

Even if it was relatively boring by this years standards, it was still not bad.

Halfway through I ended up flicking through websites on my phone, a good race should never see me even touching it to check Twitter.
