Consider factors such as the number of overtakes, strategic intrigue, unexpected twists, close battles, and overall drama.

Were there compelling narratives unfolding throughout? Did it keep you captivated from lights out to the chequered flag? These are the questions to ponder as you determine your score. Your objective assessment helps us maintain the integrity of our survey and provides a true measure of fan satisfaction across the season.
