Rain threat looms large over Belgian Grand Prix, here's the complete weather forecast
Dark clouds are once again looming over the Belgian Grand Prix, with rain likely to disrupt the third sprint weekend of the season. Known for its unpredictable and mixed conditions, Spa-Francorchamps is notorious for receiving rain on one part of the circuit while remaining dry on another.
This weekend's weather is expected to pose a significant challenge for the drivers.
Belgian Grand Prix weather update
According to the schedule, Friday features the only practice session followed by Sprint Qualifying. Rain cells are forecast to add an unpredictable twist to the day's proceedings. A weather system is expected to pass over the track early Friday morning. While FP1 is likely to stay dry, Sprint Qualifying could see substantial rainfall.
Temperatures are expected to hover around 22°C throughout the weekend.
Saturday is set to host both the Sprint race and the Grand Prix Qualifying. Thankfully, the weather forecast for Saturday looks relatively clear, with only a small chance of showers.

Belgian Grand Prix trivia
Fans will remember the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, which turned into a washout. That race was abandoned after just one lap behind the safety car, with half-points awarded for the first time since the 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix.
The Belgian Grand Prix was first held at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in 1925. Since then, the iconic track has hosted 80 Formula 1 races.
F1 legend Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most wins at Spa, with six victories to his name. Ferrari has enjoyed great success at this circuit, securing 18 wins in the Constructors' Championship — more than any other team.
The circuit spans 7.004 km (4.352 miles) per lap, with the race consisting of 44 laps in total. Lewis Hamilton enters as the defending champion, having claimed victory at Spa in the 2024 season.

Rusty Bagan wary of a youthful MSC
1 2 Kolkata: Mohun Bagan SG will begin their Durand Cup campaign with an all-Indian side and against a "not so easy" Mohammedan SC here on Thursday. Not long ago Bagan's participation in Asia's oldest knockout football tournament was in doubt against the backdrop of a yet-to-be-resolved uncertainty over the Indian Super League . As a result, the reigning ISL Shield and Cup winners' senior team hit the ground running only a week ago, without Spanish head coach Jose Molina and any of his foreigners. It has been learnt that Molina is scheduled to land here in the wee hours of Friday and defender Tom Aldred is expected to arrive the following day.

They conceded a last-gasp goal to go down 1-2 to debutants Diamond Harbour FC in their opening match two days ago. The Bagan assistant coach Bastab Roy — who would boss the team's dugout in Molina's absence at the Salt Lake Stadium on Thursday — was in the stands to get a first-hand glimpse of the young black-and-white brigade's fight and he knew that a tricky test awaits his team. "A key feature of Mohammedan SC is that they are a young team and they don't depend on any individuals and play as a team," Bastab noted during a press conference on Wednesday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Are you from Egypt? The Prices of Solar Panels Might Surprise You Solar Panels | Search Ads Get Info Undo "They have already played a game while we are going to play our first one. From that standpoint, we need to work harder to win the match. It's not going to be easy." Bagan goalkeeper Vishal Kaith — who would lead the team on Thursday — echoed his coach's sentiment. "They (Mohammedan SC) have already played, so their fitness level will be better. No, we can't take the match as an easy one," the ISL's Golden Glove-winner said. If early season rustiness is a worry, key defender Subhashis Bose is still undergoing his rehabilitation and attacker Manvir Singh is a doubtful starter for the opener. Five days ago, defender Dipendu Biswas and attackers Kiyan Nassiri and Suhail Bhat were pressed into service for the CFL derby but Bagan ended up losing it 2-3 to East Bengal FC. Bastab now wants his youngsters to stand up and be counted for a positive start to the new tournament. "The Durand Cup format is such that only the group winner and two second-best teams will advance to the quarterfinals. So, one loss may jeopardize your chances," Bastab said. For Mohammedan SC coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo, it's about building a better future for the team. "I'm happy with the way the young players are giving their best. Results may not be in our control. The way we conceded the goal (against DHFC) in the last minute was extremely unfortunate and luck was also not on our side. But we've to accept this and move on," Mehrajuddin told reporters. "Against Mohun Bagan, we'll try to minimize the mistakes we had committed (against DHFC) and give them a fight," he added. DURAND CUP: WEDNESDAY'S RESULTS Group A: Namdhari XI 2 (Bhupinder 79, Cledson 85) South United FC 0. Group E: TRAU FC 1 (Raj Singh 58) Neroca FC 1 (Arunkumar Singh 90+6).

'Elite idiot': Tom Brady called out by Jason Whitlock after telling Scottie Scheffler to prioritize career over family
(Image credits: IG/X) Tom Brady may be the undisputed GOAT on the football field, but when it comes to giving life advice? Let's just say the Internet isn't handing him a trophy. The seven-time Super Bowl champ recently offered some unsolicited wisdom to golf star Scottie Scheffler and it seriously backfired. In a now-viral moment, conservative sports commentator Jason Whitlock absolutely torched Brady's remarks, calling them 'elite idiocy' and suggesting Brady's the last guy who should be preaching about family values. Tom Brady tells Scottie Scheffler to prioritize greatness but fans think he missed the mark completely This all started with Scheffler humbly saying that if golf ever interfered with being a good husband or dad, he'd walk away from the game. Enter Brady, who interpreted that as a little too soft and tried to coach him into chasing greatness instead. Big mistake. Because fans and analysts alike weren't buying what Brady was selling. On his 'Change the Game' newsletter, Brady decided to drop a take about Scheffler's viral family-first remarks. The quarterback praised the golfer's humility but pushed back on the idea of quitting for family, saying: 'If you want to be great at anything, there's a cost. There sure is a cost to winning and being your best.' He followed it up with a line about how pursuing greatness is also how you provide for your family. But this Brady-branded wisdom didn't exactly land the way he hoped, especially given his very public divorce from Gisele Bündchen, which was allegedly sparked by him un-retiring from football. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I thought my dad was 'boring'.

On his YouTube, the outspoken host unleashed a savage takedown of Brady's statement. On his Fearless podcast, Jason Whitlock ripped into Brady's advice to Scottie Scheffler, calling it out as hypocritical and lacking in self-awareness. He argued that Scheffler's faith-first approach makes him a better role model than Brady, who once prioritized greatness over family. Fans praise Scheffler's values as Brady gets dragged for preaching success at all costs Social media quickly picked sides and Scheffler became the fan favorite. Many praised the golfer's humility, saying it was refreshing to see a top athlete openly prioritize marriage and fatherhood over fame and legacy. Fans praise Scheffler's values as Brady gets dragged for preaching success at all costs Meanwhile, Brady got dragged. Critics said he should've just sat this one out, especially considering how his 'greatness above all' mindset may have cost him a marriage. Some even said he's still out of touch with where culture is heading where emotional intelligence, values, and faith are increasingly part of the conversation around masculinity. Tom Brady may have meant well, but his attempt to mentor Scottie Scheffler turned into a viral misstep. Fans aren't canceling the GOAT, but they're making it clear: today's athletes are rewriting what greatness really looks like and it doesn't always come with a ring. FAQs: Q1: What advice did Tom Brady give to Scottie Scheffler? Brady told Scheffler that chasing greatness often comes with personal sacrifice and suggested not to abandon career success in favor of family balance. Q2: What did Scottie Scheffler originally say? Scheffler said in an interview that if golf ever interfered with his ability to be a good husband or father, he would walk away from the sport without hesitation. Q3: How did fans react to the debate? Fans overwhelmingly supported Scheffler and criticized Brady for being out of touch. Many praised Scheffler for prioritizing faith and family.
