With seven different race winners already this season, capped by Oscar Piastri's dramatic maiden grand prix victory last round in Hungary, the championship fight is hotter than ever.

As the focus now shifts to Spa, the pressure is on teams to maximise their points haul before the month-long break, but the unpredictable Belgian weather could throw a wrench into their strategies.

So, what can we expect from the skies above Spa-Francorchamps this weekend?

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 first practice session took place in dry conditions, as did the second practice run despite the 40% chance of rain at 5pm local time.

Temperatures were pleasant, reaching a high of 21 degrees Celsius.

Saturday, July 27: FP3 and Qualifying

After a dry start to the week, the threat of rain intensified, with the final practice session being interrupted by heavy rainfall.

The adverse weather conditions caused the Formula 2 sprint race to be postponed, and F1 qualifying also proved to be a wet affair, with the 75% chance of rain causing havoc in the session.

Temperatures remained consistent with a high of 20 degrees and a low of 11 degrees.

Sunday, July 28: Race

Although there was a slight chance of rain earlier in the day, it's currently forecasted to be clear for the race itself at 3pm.

Temperatures will see a high of 23 degrees, dropping to 10 degrees at night. Light northerly winds are also expected, along with a humidity level of 75%.
