Since 2008, RaceFans has proudly hosted its signature “Rate the Race” polls after every single Formula 1 event.

When you vote, we encourage you to focus purely on the entertainment and excitement factor of the race itself, rather than allowing your preferred driver’s or team’s performance to sway your judgment. This ensures that our “Rate the Race” results reflect the broader appeal and thrill of the event for all motorsport enthusiasts.
