Following a mini-break in the calendar, F1 heads to Spa-Francorchamps this weekend for the 13th round of the season at the Belgian Grand Prix.

The British GP last time out saw chaotic conditions for the race, with wet conditions turning into a rapidly drying track before further rain came along, but Lando Norris came through it all to take victory at his home race.

It means that Oscar Piastri's championship lead has been cut down to just eight points, and he will be hoping for a more straightforward weekend weather-wise in Belgium.

Meanwhile, Red Bull head into the race weekend with a new team principal for the first time since the 2005 Australian Grand Prix, after long-serving chief Christian Horner was axed and replaced by Laurent Mekies earlier this month.

Mekies joins Red Bull with the team's performance levels seemingly sliding week on week, and Max Verstappen's future as a Red Bull driver being questioned amid rumours about a Mercedes swoop for the four-time champion.

This weekend, however, the talking stops and the racing begins once more, with a sprint weekend meaning there are two races to look forward to! But what will the weather look like?

Belgian Grand Prix weather forecast

Sunday, July 27 - Race

Lights out for the main race at the Belgian GP is at 3pm local time.

Sunday is set to be wet throughout most of the day, with thunderstorms forecast for the race, and there is a 74 per cent chance of rain for the start of the grand prix.

Thunderstorms will continue throughout the race distance with the chance of rain rising to 80 per cent by the time the chequered flag is waved in the Ardennes forest.

Temperatures will also be cooler, sat at around 18 degrees Celsius, meaning the track is unlikely to be quick drying if we do get some respite from the rainy conditions.

Humidity levels will be sat at a whopping 80 per cent for the race, while wind speeds will remain light for drivers.

After a delay to the start due to the wet conditions, the race was confirmed for a restart at 4.20pm local time (3.20pm UK time)
