Rain expected during the Belgian Grand Prix brings back bad memories
The rain is expected to accompany the drivers for the Belgian Grand Prix. Despite the rain, spectators should not relive a Belgian Grand Prix 2021, which lasted only two laps after a two-hour wait without any reimbursement.
Friday marks the start of the last Grand Prix before the summer break. Spa-Francorchamps is hosting the Formula 1 for the Belgian Grand Prix. From free practice 1 to the race on Sunday, the entire weekend is expected to be accompanied by rain, even thunderstorms.
The Belgian Grand Prix is a sprint race weekend, so there will only be one practice session on Friday. This session will be wet as the risk of rain in Spa is 86%, and the temperature is expected to be 19°C. Friday will also be the day of qualifying for the Sunday Grand Prix. During this qualifying session, the drivers will once again face a wet track, with an 83% chance of rain pouring down as they try to go as fast as possible. During the practice sessions, the wind will be weak, averaging at 16 km/h.
On Saturday for the sprint day, the risk of rain will be very high. Thunderstorms may even occur on Saturday. During the Sprint Shootout, the qualifying for the sprint race, rain will be present as there is an 84% chance of precipitation. During the sprint race, the risk of rain will also be high, between 74% and 80%, and the air temperature should be between 19 and 20°C. The wind will also blow very lightly at 19 km/h.
It’s finally the main race that might escape the rain. There’s about a fifty-fifty chance of rain during the Grand Prix. The temperature should be 18°C during the race, but with slightly stronger wind compared to Saturday, it’s forecasted to be 23 km/h.
Formula 1 spectators should not have to relive the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix.
