In your opinion, what has been the best F1 race of 2024 so far?

Saw this poll on the F1 website. Thought I'd ask the same here to get some discussion started.

Mine has to be the Canadian GP. Unlike the other races where events happened towards the beginning or the end, the Canadian GP had action throughout the race. Had me hooked the entire time.
- Canada also for me. The mixed conditions gave us quite the unpredictable race.
Silverstone. Skill and strategy won that. I'm still in awe at how good Lewis' tyre management was on those softs while Verstappen was behind him on better tyres in a better car, getting closer and closer lap by lap. It was an absolutely masterful performance, and the suspense went on to the very last lap.
Lewis winning for the first time in ages, after so many times where he was so close. And the fact it was a home win adds to that and makes it feel all the more special.
Canada was also great, although I imagine the guy who's been winning for years, particularly after last year when he had the most dominant F1 car of all time, winning again somewhat removed the shine for it for some people.
So around 47% of people have voted for the British GP as compared 13% for the Canadian GP. I am not able to understand this massive discrepancy. Both were wet dry races with strategy and skill playing major roles but I felt that there was more action in Canada so I cannot fathom how so few people voted for it. The percentages of both should be much more even
- I think a big part of the discrepancy is due to the British GP being Lewis' first win in a long time.
  
  100% agree with this assessment. Versus what was ultimately another Verstappen win. The heart wins on this one.
Austria was good too.
Oof my memory definitely isn't good enough to remember which race was which. I do remember quite vividly however that there were two races with a lot of action throughout. That was nice.
