Congrats to Bottas who won that quite convincingly. Unfortunately it was yet another boring race. I will give it a 1/10 when the poll goes up. Overall I give the season 5/10 and that's being generous. At least I won't have to listen to that idiot Croft talking rubbish for 4 months.

Really? First time we have two competetive teams vying for the title and you think it is one of the worst recent f1 seasons? It could have been even better if not for Vettel's stupidity and Ferrari reliablity.

Yes. It was nice to have a bit of competition between the teams but it was almost entirely determined by reliability, incidents, qualifying, and the first corner. Once the races had started they were mostly immensely dull affairs. The contest between Rosberg and Hamilton was more engaging than this year's contest between Lewis and Seb.

Well gotta echo everyone else. It was bad. Turned off after the pit stops as it was obvious Hamilton wasn't going to pass the sister car on this track.

Really need something better for the final race. Imagine if the championship was decided on this POS.

Remember when it was because alonso couldn't overtake (iirc). Pointless track.

The annoying thing is that it's so close to being a half decent track. Three corner changes (one of which is an actual configuration) and it'd be really quite good.

Excuse the terrible MS paint job:

They would have to have super high gearing for a massive straight with 2x DRS zones like that or they would be bouncing off the limiter for half the straight. They can overtake with the layout as it is. The problem is the cars themselves and the fact that they cannot follow closely.
