Will the rain decide the outcome of the sprint race and qualifying at Spa?

The much-feared rain never came yesterday, allowing the drivers to hit the track and extract the full potential from their cars during sprint qualifying in nearly perfect dry conditions.

A condition that further highlighted McLaren’s clear superiority—especially in the hands of Oscar Piastri, who put nearly half a second between himself and Max Verstappen while also smashing Lewis Hamilton’s previous lap record set in 2020 with the W11.

What will the conditions be like today? Will the rain shake things up like it did at Silverstone, or will we see another dry sprint race and qualifying session?

According to the latest forecasts, a cloudy day is expected with a high of 22 degrees and a low of 13.

There’s a 40 percent chance of light rain in the morning, gradually easing off in the afternoon as the skies are expected to clear up.

The wind isn’t expected to be a significant factor, with speeds around 7 km/h and gusts reaching a maximum of 24 km/h.

Barring any sudden changes—which are always possible at Spa—we should see fairly favorable conditions in both sessions, with a mix of cloudy and sunny spells.
