I'm debating even if I should bother to watch the highlights. Leaning toward no.

First time I've actively decided not to watch Spa, what has F1 become

My friend asked me before the start of the race "when was the last good race at Spa?" and I honestly had to think. Suggested 2014 but I don't even know if that was a good race or just a bit odd. Imho it's never quite been the same since they changed the Bus Stop

Yeah the new Bus Stop is an awful corner. Not fun to drive or watch. Excessive tarmac run off has also taken a lot away from Spa, looking at the exits of La Source and Stavelot in particular.

The old Bus Stop you had to get right or you could bounce into the wall, now there's plenty of get out of jail free space. Then there was the old La Source where you couldn't go too wide out of it or you were in the wall.

Love or hate the "new" chicane - it's one you can pass at unlike the other iterations

well, you can pass but not with those cars

alongside the crash test FIA should make a wind tunnel test and a track test and approve only cars that doesn't have dirty air

It was a sad indictment on the series when Martin Brundle was literally begging Bottas to make the race competitive...on lap 3.

Don't think they'll use that in the promos.

Bottas is almost the perfect driver for Merc (there is still no way he should ever be behind Max, but all's well when Lewis is in front. He would be turfed out on current performances if Red Bull was on par with Merc and actually had a second driver) but he is absolutely the worst driver for F1 fans. When he is racing against Hamilton he is simply spineless. Fucking grow a pair Valteri and just send one down the inside.

But is it really about not having the balls? I just don't think Bottas has the talent to consistently match Hamilton and a few daring moves won't make up for that.

Bottas is a Coulthard that doesn't say "this is my year" at the beggining of every season

I liked 2019 and 2017 for thrill in the final laps. But these would tough ones to come and say to a newcomer "Hey that's great racing".

My goodness, I felt like i was Ricky Rudd in the 1984 Daytona 500........ I needed to tape my eyelid's open just to make it through the race.
