Rate the race: Round 03 - Chinese Grand Prix

So what did everyone think of the Chinese Grand Prix? A first time winner, lots of good battles through the field and excitment for pretty much the whole race. We saw the highly degradable tyres have a huge effect on the race with Raikkonen bitten particularly hard by the Pirelli tyres but if it wasnt for the problem at his final pitstop Jenson Button may have reeled in Rosberg at the end as he hit the "cliff."

Overall I really enjoyed the race and gave it an eight, without a problem at his stop and Button racing hard at the end it would have been superb but overall it was very entertaining

I agree with that Frostie. Still trying to figure out where Schumacher would have finished if he hadn't had that problem.

Overall, a good race. 10/10

8/10 for me. Very enjoyable race with lots happening all around the field.

Deducted 2 marks due to pit errors robbing us of potentially more action. Schumi's retirement was very unfortunate,he was definitely in with a shout of a podium. Likewise,Button's poor pitstop deprived us of a potential dual for first between him and Rosberg.

First race in quite some time were i was afraid to leave the room for fear of missing something.

8 from me, Enjoyable race, would have been great if Button had a better pitstop and really pushed Rosberg and I loved when the top 8 were all together and overtaking, Great racing and no accidents

Yeah gave it a 8 too plenty of action through out the field. Delighted for nico a well deserved and well earned victory. So disappointed for schumi would love to know how the race would have panned out for him.

9/10 due to a final battle for first being missed because of poor pit stops. Also poor pit-stops destroying MSC's race. Absolutely fantastic race, as good if not better than last years race. China always delivers.

Despite all the action and passes I found it kinda dull. Lots of easy predictable passes and any proper racing passes, like around turn 6 were impossible due to the ridiculous amount of tyre debris. a very predictable race IMO.

battles like Kimi-Button-Webber and Maldonado-Hamilton-who else.. were many battles without DRS help

Give it an 8.

Had rosbery been pushed a bit and scumi got a podium i would've gave it a 10.

Great to see so many cars battle for the podium at the end.

Good race toward the end.

Well done Nico, it was nice to see him win with JB, someone else who understood 100 gp's with no win. JB did a great job despite the team.

So disappointed for MS, he's lost 3 podiums this year.

Time to put some money on NR for the championship
