4/10. Not great. Expected much more after that great Hungarian GP.

Below average, even for Spa standards. Gave it 3, although probably should be 3,5

6.5/10 - Hamilton may not have been challenged, there was a lot of good racing behind him.

Maybe similar race in Abu Dhabi or Shanghai would be 4/10, but I gave it 6/10. Lack of fight for the win, never-arriving rain and spoiling DRS took points away.
But it was refreshing to have Grosjean on the podium instead of usual Ham-Ros-Vel. Also Force India in so high position was refreshing. The shenanigan was provided by Williams (obviously).
Still, far from the best race of the season, but not the worst one either.

A race that will very soon be forgotten. Very few real passes, you can't really count the DRS ones, even a monkey would be able to do that. 3/10. But expectable, Spa has had very few decent races in the past, most of them were terrible.

3/10 - As I wrote in the official thread, the most boring race from Spa i´ve ever seen. Like Stoegi wrote above a race that will soon be forgotten. Only fake overtaking manoeuvres thanks to DRS on the Kemel straight. Why do they have to put a DRS zone there? We have seen so many great manoeuvres there and now it´s only - open the Super-Mario flap and drive by.
Bring on WEC @the Ring

I rated it as a 4, like most other F1 races this year. Forgettable race for sure.

It was fine. Great start and end, boring middle but oh well.
DRS hate is so old, all passes down kemmel straight used to look like that anyway, drs hardly changed a thing except moved it slightly earlier.
It's the same in f3 and non drs series too
...meh.

Nice to see the starts were a bit shaken up though.
Fun for Perez to lead for about .2 of a second.
A shame nico wasn't really punished for his bad start nor had to really overtake either.
Oh well

6/10 Good race, except for the lack of fight for the lead and too many DRS passes at Kemmel straight (but as usual in Spa nowadays).

6.

No fun for the win, but some interesting fights, especially at the end of the race.

3. Of all of the weekend's races that I've seen so far, this was by far the least engaging.
