Belgian Grand Prix 2021 Weather Forecast: After weather causing carnage in Hungary, will the same be repeated at Spa Francorchamps?
The Belgian Grand Prix is holding the excitement of Formula 1 fans across the globe as the cars will roar across Eau Rouge for the first time after almost a year and in front of a live audience after two years.
Mercedes and Red Bull will once again vie for the win, but this time, the gap between the two would probably be much lesser than last year when the Silver Arrows had a comprehensive win.
Max Verstappen aims to close down the gap Lewis Hamilton gained over him after the last race and reclaim his lead, while Hamilton is looking forward to making the most out of his resources.
