Everything is set for the Belgian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen ready to challenge the two McLarens in what promises to be an exciting race—especially with the weather playing a key role. Follow the live blog of the race with GPBlog!

Unlike in the sprint race, this time the front row will be made up entirely of the two McLarens, with Lando Norris edging out his teammate at the last moment in Q3 to start ahead.

Charles Leclerc will start third, having managed to extract the maximum potential from his car, unlike Lewis Hamilton.

The seven-time world champion was once again eliminated in Q1 after a simple track limits violation at Radillon, which only worsened an already difficult weekend.

Starting fourth will be Max Verstappen, fresh off his sprint race win after a tough battle defending against the two McLarens.

Aware of the likelihood of rain during the race, the Dutchman opted for a higher downforce setup compared to the sprint, which cost him a spot on the front row in qualifying.

However, if the race takes place in wet conditions as expected, this strategy could prove successful—unlike what happened at Silverstone.

Today's race comes with a high chance of rain compared to Friday and Saturday, meaning we could be in for another wet Grand Prix after Silverstone.

Currently, according to the latest FIA forecasts, there is a 40% chance of light rain when the Grand Prix starts, with the race set to start at 3:00 PM local time.

Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 21 degrees Celsius, with 17 degrees expected for the start of the race at 15:00.

It has already rained this morning and it's currently raining hard, which also led to the F3 race cancellation because of poor visibility.
