Personal or Subjective Angle
I was at the Belgian Grand Prix this year, and it was an amazing experience. The race was action-packed, and the atmosphere was electric. I was particularly impressed by Max Verstappen's performance. He was the dominant driver all weekend, and he fully deserved the win.
Anecdotes
One of my favorite moments of the race weekend was when Lando Norris of McLaren did a shoey on the podium. A shoey is when you drink champagne out of your racing shoe. Norris had promised to do a shoey if he finished on the podium, and he kept his promise.
