No surprise there for the winner. Felt like an odd race, some really good passing, but somehow not that exciting.
Thoughts?

It was boring. Even the raindrops could not make it interesting.
I need to stick to endurance racing I guess…
I felt like there was a lot going on today, plenty of action around the midfield especially Lando, Stroll, Albon and both Alpines?
I had the same thought. WEC spa this year was great
I have been to Le Mans. Every minute of those 24 hours were more exciting.
I found it enormous fun, great overtakes, great midfield, Max beating his teammate by 15 sec, lots of struggles on tyres, Hamilton taking the fastest lap on fresh mediums, Max sending it from miles away on Leclerc, slight change of pace with the rain but overall small effect, except for Max almost spinning on Eau Rouge.
Not the best Spa edition ever, but as an attendee of the 2021 edition, certainly not the worst
Definitely not winning any prize for excitement… A bit annoyed with Piastri dropping out, would really like to see his performance in this race… In the end it’s another Redbull Sunday.
Piastri has potential to be one of the greats, but at the moment his tyre management is below average. That, combined with how slow the McLaren in a straight line, he would not have finished in the top 5. Hopefully McLaren’s new slim rear wing will work wonders in Monza.

Dumb mistake from him, but he’ll hopefully learn from it.
Shame for Piastri, loved the GP Verstappen banter. Perez finally did what he was expected to do, at least. Albon shouldn’t have taken that third pit, imo.
Not a classic. Well done Perez for achieving the bare minimum of which that car is capable.
22s behind in the same car…
Yeah I was watching it thinking that there’s no way he’s actually better than the rest of the grid with a performance like that. I get that you need a car and a driver in F1, but it really is kind of pathetic that he can just stumble to podium finishes like that.
Run like a cushion?
Be the small bookcase
Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction’s Performance
Pundit 1st 2nd 3rd Points Laura Max Lando Alex 2 Lawrence Lando Oscar Sergio 1 Will Max Sergio Lewis 4 Lawrence bottled his return, failing to capitalise on Laura’s out-there predictions with even more out-there predictions himself, but Checo earns him a consolation point. Will makes a solid effort on his return.

We are watching history being made. Could do with it being a bit more exciting but can’t have everything I guess.
Counterpoint, we are mostly not watching history being made.
Hahahaha! Maybe use Multiviewer for F1?
I am sick and tired of witnessesing history in our economic, ecological, and geo-political aspects of life, F1 could do without it.
