Postponed session due to bad weather at Spa-Fracorchamps

After a two-week break, Formula 1 is finally ready to hit the track again for the thirteenth round of the season — and it will do so at one of the most beloved circuits among drivers, as well as one of the most iconic on the entire calendar.

We’re talking, of course, about Spa-Francorchamps: a track known for its sweeping high-speed corners and the alternation of highly technical sections that demand a setup compromise between medium and low downforce.

Beyond that, however, the Belgian circuit is also renowned for its unpredictable and often erratic weather — a reputation earned through numerous historic races that have been dramatically affected by rain striking at the most unexpected moments.

And, as expected, the weather has already begun to shake things up. Due to thick fog at the circuit and poor visibility, the F3 practice session has been postponed.

Practice will now take place at 14:00 local time, and run for 30 minutes instead of the scheduled 45. Instead, Qualifying will run at 19:10.

As for today’s sessions, light rain is expected in the morning, with a 60% chance of precipitation and a maximum temperature of 20°C.

In the afternoon, skies are forecast to clear up slightly, though there remains a chance of scattered showers developing as the day progresses.
