Rate the Race - Brazil

Year after year, Interlagos produces pretty good racing. Would it be considered one of the best five of the current race tracks?

I think so. And I used to think it was pretty boring around the mid to late 90s. 7.5 for me though I didn´t watch the race!

Stewards were out to lunch again on track boundaries. I am more and more irked about this.

Maybe we need a return to self enforcing boundaries. Grass works extremely well.

The way it is now, you can slide off and there's no penalty other than the time you lose. It just doesn't seem like the same sport that way.

Concrete bollards at corner apexes? That should take care of it. There did seem to be a lot of liberties taken at turn 8.

I'm all in for the safety aspects of grippy run off area's and the like but a lack of grass should be replaced with an equivalent "destructive" outcome.

Hamiltons total loss with 180 spin was estimated to have cost him 7 seconds. Ridiculous.

He should have suffered at least a drive through penalty because his 4 wheels crossed the track boundary. As it was he was back in business and able to recover in the same position.

Hamilton had a big loss with little penalty in time, drivers are also in the habit of benefitting from small boundary violations and this should stop.

There have been sensor trials in other motorsport competitions but I would think that a couple of judges could keep an eye on this quite successfully. 2 wheels 3 times gets a drive through, 4 wheels 1 time gets the same.


Might mix it up a bit as well and doesn't F1 crave that nowadays?

No marks from me since I didn't see the race...
