Belgian Grand Prix F1 Live Updates: Race Delayed Due To Low Visibility, Rain

The downpour is still as steady at Spa, but it is being forecast that the rain will cease around 7:30pm IST, that is in about ten minutes. Once that happens, race control will inspect the conditions and we could have the race starting soon after if all is well. Fingers crossed.

After a brief respite, the rain returns and picks up in Spa. It is expected to continue raining for around half an hour, post which race control can take stock of visibility and track sogginess. The drivers have their feet up in the garages as they know this is going to be considerable wait.

As suspected, the red flag goes up as the starting procedure is suspended, amid poor visibility. All the drivers head into the pits after the safety car. The delay extends as we await further updates.

As was expected and predicted, it is bucketing down in Stavelot currently, which means the start of the race could either be delayed or endangered. The wet weather makes the high-octane action risky, given how skiddy the tyres can get.

Q1 goes green at 6:30pm IST. The Belgian Grand Prix will be live streamed on the FanCode app and website in India. It will not be telecast on any TV channel in the country.
