The much-anticipated Belgian Grand Prix is set to roar into action on Sunday, July 30. Leading up to the main event, drivers will put their skills and machines to the test during practice and qualifying rounds on Friday and the Sprint Race event on Saturday.
The forecast includes showers on Friday and Saturday, but nothing more than partly cloudy skies on race day. However, rain remains a concern for some of the sessions and F1 drivers have made it clear the organizing body needs to be prepared to cancel events that might have significant rain.
