Rate the Grand Prix of Belgium
The rain was again the main factor in the outcome, bad for Kimi who did a fantastic job.

A 10 from me. My faith in Grand Prix racing is restored after the debacle in Spain. Thanks to Kimi & Lewis.

I suppose it will have a high score as Lewis won this one !
A boring most of the time with average performances apart from Kimi, but who wins deserves the trophy, so here it goes. |

I think the last few laps in particular make it a 10 for such an enthralling finish. It could have been an 8 or 9 but the last few laps really made it.

9 - Mid-race was a bit dull but the thrilling end made it all good!

Spa is for me one of the "old school" tracks that has not been sanatised by safety, not a brilliant race but worthy of a 7/10 simply becasue its Spa.

It was an 8/9 up until about 4 laps from the end... those last few laps had me absolutely on the edge of my seat, screaming at the telly! Most enthralling end to a GP for many years. It gets 10 from me, only because there isn't an 11!

10
- 9 for the dull race until the last few laps + 6 for the circuit (it was a 8 before they built this run offs and this pit entry) + 1 for the last few laps ----------------------- 8 points |

9/10... I can't remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat shouting at the TV during a Grand Prix!!
...of course the rain made it more entertaining. Rain brings the one factor that us petrol-heads thrive on - unpredictability |

9 in the poll mainly because it is Spa and second and last 4 laps, even though they have for F1's sake mucked it about, can only be most grateful Messers Ecclestone & Moseley et al did not do the same to the 'ring'

i gave it a 5 out of ten, fantastic race if you take in the first few laps and the last few laps. sadly the stewards messing about has meant the race has been spoilt off track.

Would have been 10, but its 1, farce of a decision by the FIA to hand Massa the win, a dark day in F1 - just hand Ferrari the trophy at the beginning of the season and make everyone else fight it out for 2nd!

Well I caught the last 15 laps of the race and I was shouting at the telly with all the drama going on. Definately worth a 9.
As for the farce with the decision? Well I seriously doubt Massa wanted to win like that. |

For 44 laps I would have vote an 8.
Given that the FIA have been fiddling with the results, I actually vote 1. |

It was better than average but not scintillating. Only the laste 4 laps made it an event really didn't it?

I've given the race a rating of 9 but 1 was better as it seems.
