I'd give it an 8/10. After Sochi pretty much anything would have looked good, but there was a bunch of midfield stuff going on throughout in addition to the Hamilton/Rosberg fight at the front.
I'd have given it 9 if there had been a few more cars. No Caterham and Marussia, obviously, but also no Force India after the first lap and only one Sauber.

Straight 9 from me. We missed some three-way battle with 7 overtakes for the win, but the rest of the field were everybody against everybody, wonderful race to watch.

Excellent race I think. 8/10 for plenty of battles, a good track, an overtake for the lead change (that actually gets it more points in my book) and the fact that it managed to keep me awake till 3 bloody am in the morning - and that Storm Jr kept waking up due to congested nose/throat

It livened up a bit in the last third, but I found turns 3 through to 9 so frustrating pushing everyone into single file.
Decent race, but no classic 6/10

Always pleasant to watch a race on a Monday morning.
The race had its moments and was entertaining. Mercedes did what Mercedes have done so well in 2014. 7/10.
I am very disappointed at how reluctant stewards appear to be in policing the track boundary - the "virtual wall" if you will.
To my mind, if 4 wheels cross the white line it is an immediate drive through. If 2 wheels cross its a strike and 3 strikes earns a drive through.
I don't see the boundary as advisory, it is more of a safety feature and should be respected. I rarely see anyone putting 4 wheels across the line in Monaco and don't know why it is normal business at most other tracks. It really does affect the races and the racing.
P.S. If double points has a hand in deciding the 2014 championship then someone should be kicked square in the nuts.
Double points may see the wrong name go into the history books. Terrible.

Plenty of wrong names already in the history books due to various reasons
