Give us a review and mark out of 10 for the race at Spa.

Bet it wont shift Hungary from top spot.

well it was a great race IMO
plenty of passing, orders mixed up and down
a slightly different podium
well done Grosjean
And RBR are not that slow IMO they would be foolish to leave Renault, but horner and marko are clowns

6 out of 10. To quote kfzmeister, "meh!". A fair bit of overtaking, but even with the Mercs' botched starts, you could be fairly sure about who'd be taking the first two steps in the podium.

It was a real disappointment.

The cars preserved position and the race was over within 5 minutes of the start.

Merc looked to be turning down both cars a long way from the race end. I guess they've been told not to lap the field any more.

Belgium is supposed to be a premier track but the DRS sucked the fun out of the racing - again. Track boundaries are still a joke.

Such a shame.

3/10

I enjoyed the race at the start and end, but endless easy DRS overtakes mean nothing to me.

No punishment for making mistakes (i.e - track boundaries) I mean Eau Rouge had those kerbs which actually made the driving difficult and challenging. However they are removed. Typical

5/10

Really a rather dull race IMO
5.5/10

Is it worth writing about positions 1 and 2 on the forum? Focus on positions 3-20 like I did and you will see a great race.
9-10.

Well, actually, any kind of sport is mostly about winning. It's like watching a football match between two mid-table teams - all right, it might be entertaining, but most people won't care much about it.

Not a great race but that's what you get when the run offs are paved and DRS zones are introduced. 7/10

I'll give it a 9. At least I'll give the TV show a nine. Some of the best camera positions and use of any of the races. The cars actually looked spectacular as opposed to most televised races.

Disclaimer: I'm in the US and we don't get all the really good feeds that the rest of the world does, so your mileage may vary.

5/10, decidedly average race.

The fact that it was Spa adds a point. The fact that my guy won adds a point. The race itself, a 6. But with the bonuses, an 8.

Wondering if it was going to rain within the last few laps had me glued to the edge of my seat, more so than the ontrack action - which wasn't bad at all.

3/10. Boooooooooooooooooooring! Which is unusual for Spa, and after a great Hungarian GP too

I can't give such precise evaluations. There are 2 types of races. The ones I can follow till the end and the ones that send me to the dream lands. I got so sleepy I gave up wathcing BVB's match after the race too.

Perfect weekend for Mercedes and Grosjean. Spa is ever a classic. 7.

Nothing special. 5,5 just because it's Spa.
