4/10 here. Nothing of note. At least it didn't rain.

I must have missed something at that point for these scores!
Yea, Verstappen won.

The race wasn't great, although I liked the venue (for now).

Seems like I was also one of the people who voted lower than everyone else. Like Manfred said, nothing of note really happened. I didn't hate the race by any means, I didn't expect it to be more exciting than it was (although I expected more incidents than there were). I'm glad Max won. It's nice to have a new track on the calendar which is a little more old school as well, but generally I can't see why such a race would deserve more than a 5/10 :nah:

It was a race, I guess.

4 for me. I am surprised by the high scores but I guess after last week everyone is peaking. The top 3 finished as they started, and I would have rated it lower but for the welcome return of Zandvoort with its banked corners and some entertaining midfield battles.

It depends on what you are looking for. For me, it was nail-biting. Will the car and tires of Max' car hold on? Baku comes to mind. Now he has 7 (or better 6,5) victories against 4 of Hamilton. If there is one chance for him to beat Hamilton in this V6hybrid era, it is this year. Nico succeeded, but had to go 120% for that.
