Worth Watching Score

5.0

The 2024 Belgian GP at Spa was a tidy, low-drama race, with George Russell controlling proceedings for a calm Mercedes 1-2 over Lewis Hamilton and Oscar Piastri securing third. Even with 36 overtakes, most were straightforward moves on the long straights, strategy was simple, and there was only one DNF. Worth a watch if you’re into Mercedes’ resurgence or want to see a composed drive from Russell, but for neutral fans it’s more of a highlights affair than must-see TV.
