Worth Watching Score

5.3

Spa 2023 serves up classic mixed conditions and strategy tension, with light rain threatening but never quite forcing inters. Max Verstappen slices from P6 to an inevitably dominant win, locking in a Red Bull 1-2 with Sergio Perez as Charles Leclerc hangs on for P3. There’s still plenty to enjoy: 82 overtakes, a first-lap clash between Carlos Sainz and Oscar Piastri that triggers both DNFs, and punchy moves into Les Combes amid shifting grip. Overall, a decent watch for weather drama and overtaking, less so if you’re after a genuine fight for the win.
