The closest the championship has come to wet-weather action this year was the Canadian Grand Prix, where light rain affected the start of the race. Despite the drizzle, most drivers opted for slick tyres as conditions remained suitable for dry-weather rubber.
Current forecasts suggest there is around a 50–65% chance of rain on Friday and Saturday, potentially affecting practice sessions, Sprint Qualifying and the Sprint race. The risk appears slightly lower for Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix, with the probability of precipitation currently estimated at around 40% for the 15:00 local start.
Temperatures are expected to remain relatively mild throughout the weekend, sitting around the low-to-mid 20s Celsius. While conditions are not expected to be extreme, the combination of cooler temperatures, possible rain and Spa’s demanding layout could create a challenging environment for both drivers and engineers.
