Just curious to see what you all think. Which race did you enjoy watching most this year?

There's quite a few candidates for me, but Brazil was pretty damn special. If I had to rate the races in order of how much I've enjoyed them, I'd say:

Brazil
America
Malaysia
Valencia
Abu Dhabi
Canada
China
Belgium
Italy
Britain
Australia
Hungary
Germany
Bahrain
Monaco
Japan
Singapore
Korea
India

Saying that, there's only really two that stand out to me as being "boring" - Korea and India. Looking back at every other race, something is memorable to me, whether it was the battle for the lead, a particular overtake or group of overtakes, a surprise winner/podium visitor, something particularly eventful in the championship battle, etc.

Be interested to hear your thoughts.

My main thought is: how come you keep writing "g" instead of "k" lately? :P They're so far apart on the keyboard are you on a phone or something that uses predictive? I'm curious George.

Other than that, I completely agree. Korea was the worst GP, India pretty bad too, iirc. My memory is awful so I can't really remember which was the best, but Austin, Monza and Valencia seem to stand out, and obviously Monaco, because I was there.

IMHO, there had been some impressive races and few boring ones, but what sets this season apart is that all the races become almost equally as interesting as each one was made interesting by all the rest. A complex intertwined season all around.

Valencia, for Michael's podium.

Music connects people through the unspoken appreciation of something that sounds right. Something that taps into the deepest corners of your soul, making you feel alive. When someone else gets it too and you know they do, it feels beautiful.

We keep on working, we do our thing, Vettel shouts over the team radio,We are who we are!

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

Actually Abu Dhabi was better for showcasing Vettel's talents. And probably another race around the first half of the year but I possess the memory of a fish and can't recall them at all, just the general impression they gave me XD

You're probably thinking of Spa, but that was into the 2nd half of the season
