An important qualifying session is coming up at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
Drivers and teams have one last chance to score points before the summer break, making a good qualifying run crucial. Max Verstappen faces extra pressure with a 10-place grid penalty looming over him.
Rainy session to shake up the order?
Saturday’s forecast predicts rain at Spa-Francorchamps. Weather.com says there’s an 83% chance of rain during qualifying, and FP3 will likely be wet too. Since Friday’s FP1 and FP2 were dry, teams only get one practice session in the rain. This means that differences between cars could become very small, giving anyone a shot at rising through the ranks.
On Friday, Max Verstappen was fastest in FP1, but Lando Norris took over in FP2. With Verstappen’s 10-place grid penalty for Sunday, can McLaren maintain their lead on Saturday amid tricky conditions?
