Austrian GP 2021 Weather Forecast: What’s the weather forecast of Spielberg this weekend?

Austrian GP 2021 Weather Forecast: The weather conditions after the last race in Austria poured some rain, but were too late.

The last Grand Prix in Austria, just a week before was a bit dull because it was a sunny and dry day, with Max Verstappen dominating every lap. There was no uncertainty at the Red Bull ring, as the weather gave no element of surprise.

However, the opposite weather predictions this week give contrasting expectations and can result in the rain during the race hours, which could alter the result.

Last week also, rain happened in Spielberg, but it was after the race, meaning too late to do anything. But this week, if the drivers get a chance to bring out the wet tyres, an action-packed race might be expected.

So, it remains to be seen what will happen on Sunday especially, as the fight for the championship is getting even better after every race, and it remains to be seen whether a rain in Spielberg will have a role to play a part in it.
