Weather forecast | Will rain again be a big deal at the GP of Belgium?

Rain is again scheduled for the Belgian Grand Prix in 2022. According to Weather.com there is a very good chance that during qualifying and the race it will be wet on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps.

The Belgian GP of 2021 literally fell into the water last year when race control decided it was not safe to race. At the time, only three laps were raced behind the safety car and then the race was cancelled. Max Verstappen 'won', but apart from his fast qualifying, didn't have to do much for it.

A similar scenario is also possible in 2022, as the medium reports that there is a high chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday. On Thursday it is still expected to be dry, but on Friday it starts with thunderstorms in the afternoon and a seventy percent chance of rain. On Saturday and Sunday only showers are predicted. With an eighty percent chance of rain on Saturday and eighty percent on Sunday.

Should it come to the point that the track is again too wet to drive on, the driver on pole will not be awarded any points. After the debacle of 2021, the rules were changed so that at least two laps without a safety car must be driven in order to award 25 percent of the points.
