There is a 48 percent chance it will rain during the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday, according to weather forecasts for the area.
Many teams, such as Mercedes and Red Bull, are running low-downforce setups on their cars as they look to maximise their straight-line speed in sectors one and three of the circuit.
Ahead of the race weekend, Williams driver George Russell said he expects the team to struggle at Spa as their car is very “draggy”.
The other Mercedes-powered teams, namely the Mercedes works team and Racing Point, are set to have a very strong weekend in Belgium.
