I forgot to post the results for Spain.

2015 Spanish Grand Prix

Highest Rating: 7.5/10 - Taz
Lowest Rating: 1/10 - Donkey

The overall rating for the 2015 Spanish GP is: 4.27/10

2015 Season Race Rankings

1. Malaysia - 8.00
2. Bahrain - 7.20
3. China - 5.33
4. Australia - 4.91
5. Spain - 4.27

So Spain goes into 5th out of 5. I don't imagine Monaco will be much better.

Clear that F1 2015 is far from a classic season. 4 of 6 races at pretty much under 5/10

To be honest, 2015 reminds me one of the most boring season of all times, 2002.

Then we also had one surprising race in Malaysia, where Williams beat Ferrari and got a 1-2. Okay, Schumacher lost front wing, but Williams was really fast there. Barrichello was nowhere near Ralf before his engine failure.

Other than that... Ferrari utterly dominated in 2002, Mercedes dominates in 2015. Then two other teams are almost always in positions from 3th to 6th. With the difference in 2015 the reliability is far better, so indeed those teams lock out top 6. Mind you, in this respect young Valtteri Bottas almost reminds his countryman Räikkönen, sometimes getting a podium. But with far better reliability. In 2002 we had Williams-BMW and McLaren-Mercedes consistently in positions from 3rd to 6th and only reliability problems (had often them back then!) dropped them away from there.

And there is no proper tension at the top either. Hamilton wins most of the time, just like Schumacher back then. At least unlike Barrichello, Rosberg doesn't have an abundance of technical problems, so he is still within a shot of Hamilton points-wise. So the only excitement of 2015 is whether Rosberg can get more fortunate with reliability and actually get close to Hamilton in the points...

[steveaki13]

I kind of agree Jens.

I hope Rosberg can mix it more as the season goes on because if they can at least fight for races like early 2014 would be something.

Otherwise Lewis wins all races he is good in and Nico wins the occasional one he is good in.

So where to we stand with Canada, that seemed to score pretty low?

I can now reveal that answer Schmenke

It sees a max score of 10 and minimum of 0.5

2015 Canada Grand Prix

Lowest Rating: 0.5/10 - AAReagles

The overall rating for the 2015 Canada GP is: 4.61/10

4. Australia - 4.91
5. Canada - 4.61
6. Monaco - 4.31
7. Spain - 4.27

Yet another race that was far from a classic. Slots in 5th making 5 of 7 at pretty much under half way.

[N. Jones]

Bummer. This has been a Mercedes-dominated season and it doesn't look like that is going to change any time soon.

So the Austrian Grand Prix a couple of weeks ago was the eighth round of the championship.


2015 Austrian Grand Prix

Highest Rating: 7.5/10- Longisland
Lowest Rating: 0.5/10 - Donkey

The overall rating for the 2015 Austrian GP is: 5.04/10

6. Canada - 4.61
7. Monaco - 4.31
8. Spain - 4.27

So there we go. Another average race slotting in a whisker over 5/10.

Can Silverstone get into the 6's and be classed as a 2015 classic?

[steveaki13]

Hi guys. Sorry its so late. Life is busy these days.

So lets see how Silverstone rated.

2015 British Grand Prix

Highest Rating: 9/10- Slowson/ Longisland/ trufan
Lowest Rating: 5/10 - Donkey

The overall rating for the 2015 British GP is: 7.58/10

2015 Season Race Rankings

1. Malaysia - 8.00
2. Britain - 7.58
3. Bahrain - 7.20
4. China - 5.33
5. Austria - 5.04
6. Australia - 4.91
7. Canada - 4.61
8. Monaco - 4.31
9. Spain - 4.27

So there we go Silverstone slots into second with a 7.58 ranking.

I imagine Hungary could get first spot next week.
