F1 2024 - Round 14 - Belgium - Spa Francorchamps

No F1 for me this weekend unfortunately, only work. Will see if theres a replay sometime during the week and watch it, if the reports indicate an eventful race. Otherwise will have to be happy with just seeing the results.

Enjoy the race all.

Had look around for weather forecasts , three different sources.

Belgian Grand Prix weather forecast

Friday, July 26: FP1 and FP2

Looking at the current forecast, the weekend at Spa appears to be a bit of a gamble weather-wise.

Friday's practice sessions are expected to see sunny intervals with
light winds. However, a 28% chance of rain hangs over the 1:30pm local
start time for the first practice, continuing through to the second and
final session of the day.

Temperatures will be pleasant, reaching a high of 23 degrees Celsius and dropping to a low of 14 degrees.

Friday

The Belgian weekend comes right after Budapest. Teams will have two
hours of free practice, and the weather might not be favorable. Rain is
expected throughout the day, with temperatures around 20°C.

Saturday

The situation should improve on Saturday. Temperatures will
consistently be around nineteen degrees, and no precipitation is
expected during the day. However, the sky will be quite cloudy.

Sunday

Temperatures will be around twenty degrees when the cars hit the
track for the fourteenth race of the 2024 Formula 1 season. There will
be rain in the morning, although the race itself is expected to be dry.

I feel it will be a bit like last weekend . Rain during some part of Qual

Trying to predict the weather for Spa is like picking the lottery numbers.

It is what makes this place so magical, along with Schumacher in 1991 in the Jordan. Am I right @Jordan 199

Just saw an article with headline "Verstappen ordered by Red Bull to stop late night gaming ahead of Belgian Gran Prix. Article behind a paywall but must be info online somewhere.

Will be interesting to see this weekend which team are effected most by the new flexi wing regulations.

FP2 was much closer, some teams running a back to back on a low to higher DF levels.

With a bit of rain tomorrow, it will be interesting to see what the teams choose, parc ferme means they have to pick a set up for whatever the race is, which right now looks dry.

..if the clock runs out, without anyone returning to the track, is that the end of the session?

Stroll, oops.

This website is ok for radar forecast. Not accurate, but not terrible either. Just use the + symbol to zoom into the track location.

And that’s why Bernie Collins is a great addition to the sky team. She is so good at explaining things.

The F2 sprint has been postponed.

Wet to start with so expect red flags

Good for that he won’t be out qualified by Sargent again today, nice work.

It looks like redbull have had the best case scenario here then.

I stopped counting at one.

So Charles Leclerc finishes second but will start on pole.

Big race for Checo tomorrow starting on the front row, he really needs to get the win

Max was untouchable for every session. I wonder will it translate to the race tomorrow, if it’s dry.

Checo with a solid effort, just don’t bin it tomorrow.

Edit

Sound, hopefully will be a cracking race then.

Why do you actually bother to watch f1 at all yet alone spout your dribble here because every time it’s this is crap this is boring.
