Worth Watching Score

6.9

Spa served up classic mixed-conditions drama, with rain bands rolling through and forcing constant calls between inters and slicks. A mid-race red flag reset the order and added jeopardy, while 39 recorded overtakes kept the midfield lively and the leaders honest. McLaren controlled the day with a measured 1-2, Piastri edging Norris after a tense, clean intra-team fight, as Leclerc’s Ferrari hovered close enough to punish any mistake. Not an all-time thriller but a solid, strategy-heavy watch with real weather jeopardy and enough wheel-to-wheel action to justify the time.
