Potential rain forecast for this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix
Just one week after the Portuguese Grand Prix, Formula 1 is back in action with the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, where the rain could well be a factor in this fourth Grand Prix of the season.
After a somewhat soporific Grand Prix last week in Portugal, maybe we can hope for more spectacle this weekend in Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix. Apart from the different rivalries animating the start of this season, like Hamilton against Verstappen, McLaren against Ferrari, or the huge battle in the midfield, rain could add to these elements to paradoxically liven up this race weekend.
It is obviously necessary to take a step back on these early weather reports, as nature can be unpredictable. However, the forecasts from meteoblue, the website behind this information, have proven to be accurate in more than half of the cases, giving it some credibility.
According to the bulletin in question, rain is forecasted for race day, which is Sunday, in the late afternoon, meaning that the race could finish before the first drop of rain even falls.
However, weather forecasts change up to the day, often delaying precipitation by several hours depending on the intensity and speed of the wind. In short, this 2021 Spanish Grand Prix seems to promise us a great spectacle, if only because of the strong contenders and the various stakes already in play. Rain or no rain? the future will tell, but it is certainly a possibility that would make this race even more spectacular.
