"One of the dullest races i've ever seen", says Ted
I really enjoyed it. There was actual overtaking today. Most of the season has seen the boys at the front closer so the pit stops were more exciting. Maybe that's good for Ted from his vantage point. But for me there seemed to be something going on most laps and overtaking through most of the field. Maybe it was just me being strange but maybe the guys at the circuit, James and Martin also called it not a classic, are watching for different things. There were more on track overtakes today than there usually are and that was enough for me. I'm not saying it was the best race of the season, it was just better than it was being painted.

Indeed, James says the same in his review of the race on itv-f1.com:
'This was a dull and processional race...'
But I thought it was more exciting than Monza or Turkey. Aside from the top four, we had overtaking throughout the field, with places 5-17 not assured until the last lap. People were on different strategies, and Spa is a place you can overtake. The BMWs especially were having fun.
The problem is that we're three races from the end of the championship, and we want the title contenders to be seriously battling each other, but in Spa they didn't (except for the amazing first few corners). It's a shame, but it wasn't a dull race.
