Exciting race! Craziness early on. Some great midfield racing. Great drives by Hamilton and Alonso from the rear. Red flag threw a wrench into strategies. Watching Max weave all over the place and push people off track was entertaining. I gave it an eight.

7.
Should have been a classic, but the first lap mayhem put rest to that, sadly. Selby |

I enjoyed it as well. Had a bit of everything except wet weather. I do like when Max and Kimi are sharing the same part of the track even if it is just for Kimi's radio comments. Glad Max has brought back the big crowds because it is the best track of the season and needs to remain on the calendar. Only thing I didn't like was the booing during the podium.

An 8. A really good race - I don't know whether it's my favourite of the season yet. Okay, shame there was no rain as predicted, and also the first corner tangle might have let Nico off the hook some what.
Hamilton's fightback to the podium was interesting. As was Alonso's fightback to the points. Max and Vettel's tussles were interesting. There were some decent battles - Alonso, Massa and Bottas. Vettel fighting back as well. The safety cars and the red flag helped it out. Spa - the best circuit in the world - and today it was! |

7 from me. It was entertaining. The circuit of course is terrific and the argy-bargy at the start made it more interesting, however I can't honestly say that I found it particularly exciting. Kevin M was (thankfully) very lucky to walk away from his huge shunt.

I dithered between 7 and 8. It would have been a clear 8 if we hadn't had the "safety car". It was obvious from the first moment that the barrier at Radillon was going to need some major reconstructive surgery so why let them troll round behind the "safety car" for several laps before throwing a red flag?
In the end I still decided on 8 because I was thoroughly entertained by the race, and dashed into the kitchen to make a sandwich while the boring bit was on. |

It was an ok race and apart from the start and the first two laps not particularly exciting. There were a few good battles but too few.

Francorchamps never disappoints. F1 as it should be. |

7. It was all a bit formula ford festival until the red flag. Calmed down a bit after, and was a good race.

6. I love the circuit but too many random interventions in the form of inane rules to make it a truly entertaining GP. Wasn't impressed with Max's weaving. Some good battles, though.....

7 from me - even a boring race at Spa is probably worth a 5 at least. Some action in this one with some good dices meant plenty going on through the field, even if the front was fairly processional (once the various incidents had taken so many out of contention).
