F1 Belgian Grand Prix Under Threat of Rain
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. According to the weather forecast, the Belgium Grand Prix could be a wet race, potentially throwing chaos into an already hectic race weekend. Spa is known for being a track that is prone to rain, especially during the summer, which makes the current climate projections no surprise. On Saturday, there is a 24 percent chance of rain, according to The Weather Channel, with winds in the 5-10 mph range. Temperatures hover around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. No rain should delay either the sprint race or qualifying, but race day is a different story.

Photo byFor Sunday, there is an 82 percent chance of rain, with temperatures ranging from around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The winds are expected to be similar to those on Saturday. It is worth noting that Saturday night is expected to have rainfall, which means the track will be wet hours before any racing takes place. The teams and drivers will face tough decisions about whether to use intermediate or wet tires for the start of the race. McLaren driver Lando Norris is already preparing for "tough decisions" that he will need to make with the team. "It could be tricky now because of the rain, so I think you might have to make some more difficult decisions in terms of tyres and things like that," Norris said. "There's always a lot more points on Sunday, so I think most of the focus is always there, but if you're one position higher or lower in the Sprint race, it's not the end of the world. "You'll always take a bit less risk there, but Sunday is the main day." When asked about his record during wet conditions, Norris offered some optimism heading into the race weekend. "I'm British, and maybe that helps. I've had very good races this year in the wet, that's true," Norris added "But all the qualifyings have been in the dry when it's been that scenario, so it's tough. There isn't an easy answer. "I enjoy these conditions still. Maybe never the most fun because it can be quite scary at times, but Spa in the wet is normal, so I'm ready to go." Belgium Grand Prix Sprint Qualifying Results

2025 British Open weather: What's the forecast for Sunday's final round?
The Open Championship comes to a conclusion on Sunday, July 20 with the top stars in men's golf looking to claim victory at the final major of 2025. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has been in top form, sitting four strokes ahead of the pack with a 14-under score after three rounds. A win would be Scheffler's second at a major this year, with the New Jersey native also coming out on top at the PGA Championship in May. However, several players are ready to pounce if he loses his way in the final round. Haotong Li (10 under) and Matt Fitzpatrick (9 under) are within striking distance, while four players (including Rory McIlroy) are tied at 8 under. Defending champion Xander Schauffele is one stroke further back. Weather may play a factor at Royal Portrush, with chances of rain increasing throughout the day on Sunday.

Who's giving to Hochul and Delgado?
GOV RACE $: Small donors are still a small part of the campaigns of both Gov. Kathy Hochul and Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado as they head toward a Democratic primary matchup next June. Hochul's campaign committee raised $120,000 over the past six months from individuals who gave $250 or less, accounting for 3 percent of her $4.4 million haul. Delgado raised $112,000 from them, or 8 percent of his $1.5 million. An ability to tap into small donors could be crucial in the months ahead. Next year will be the first gubernatorial election in state history with a matching funds system, letting candidates tap into as much as $7 million in public money. Hochul has not yet made clear whether she'll attempt to participate in the new system. A campaign spokesperson said the governor will be making an announcement on her plans soon, possibly after the Republican field becomes clear. Delgado has committed to joining the system that can let underfunded candidates close the financial gap. Hochul has $17.5 million in the bank to Delgado's $1.4 million. One major factor limiting Delgado as he seeks public financing: The system is limited to donations from state residents, and out-of-state money has accounted for a third of his fundraising. He brought in $89,000 from Virginia, $61,000 from Connecticut and $58,000 from California. That compares to $150 Delgado raised from Syracuse residents and $25 from Buffalonians. Delgado is also limited by the fact that some of his fundraising has gone to a still-extant lieutenant governor committee. Money to that won't be counted under the formula for public money, which requires candidates to raise at least $500,000 from 5,000 state residents, counting only the first $250 of donations and money from people who gave $1,050 or less. Delgado is currently at $126,501 from 1,722 state residents under the formula. So he's made progress in the first four months of his campaign but still has a ways to go. Until public financing comes into play, the big donors are still the most important. Gubernatorial candidates can currently raise $9,000 per donor for the general and an additional $9,000 for a primary. Hochul received the $18,000 max from 55 people. These top donors included former MTA board member Nancy McCartney. While McCartney's now married to a Beatle, her ex-husband Bruce Blakeman is currently Nassau County executive and among Hochul's possible Republican opponents in 2026. The Democratic governor also received $8,000 from former Republican New York City mayoral nominee Joe Lhota, as well as $18,000 from his wife, Tamra. Hochul, who has supported expanding the state's film and theater tax credits, received plenty of big checks from Hollywood and Broadway. That includes $18,000 from Kevin Huvane, the agent for Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep. She received the same amount from Byron Allen, the owner of a conglomerate whose assets include The Weather Channel. The governor has also been fundraising for the state Democratic Committee. The top donor to the party was the Greater New York Hospital Association, which has given $1.2 million since June. Most of Delgado's fundraising has been for the primary. Only 10 donors gave him more than $9,000, contributing a combined $83,000 he'd need to sit on until next July. His top donors included marijuana company Naturae. Two executives there gave him $18,000, while another gave him $9,000. Musician Natalie Merchant — a longtime Delgado supporter — kicked in $9,000. — Bill Mahoney From City Hall 'CEASE AND DESIST' FOR PALADINO: Lawyers representing the girlfriend of a slain left-leaning activist are demanding a public apology from Council Member Vickie Paladino after she claimed the murder victim's girlfriend did not immediately call the police following her boyfriend's killing. In October 2023, Claudia Morales was with her boyfriend Ryan Carson when he was brutally attacked at a Brooklyn bus station. In the aftermath, Morales became the target of right-wing harassment revolving around claims her and her boyfriend's politics contributed to his murder. In a series of now-deleted social media posts — which came in response to a photo of Morales posing with Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani — Paladino made similar claims that Morales' politics impeded the murderer's prosecution, claims that Morales' lawyers say are baseless. 'Your misuse of elected office to defame a private citizen for political gain has forced Ms. Morales to seek legal representation, and we are formally demanding that you cease and desist all such communications concerning our client and issue a public apology for your defamatory statements,' Morales' lawyers wrote in a 'cease and desist' letter obtained by Playbook. 'Your conduct has caused Ms. Morales to suffer significant harm and has further ignited a wave of vile online harassment and threats that put Ms. Morales and her loved ones' safety at risk.' Morales' attorneys said Paladino's statements were knowingly false and defamatory. The letter also notes Morales called 911 and cooperated with law enforcement at every stage of the investigation. Carson's killer was convicted in February and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. Paladino has deleted the posts criticizing Morales. She did not respond to Playbook's multiple requests for comment. Morales' lawyers are also urging City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and the Council to take action against Paladino. — Jason Beeferman From the Capitol 'THERAPIST-IN-CHIEF': Hochul is ministering to nervous business leaders in an effort to assure them a potential Zohran Mamdani mayoralty won't spoil New York City. The moderate Democratic governor — who is yet to endorse the upstart democratic socialist who won the party's mayoral nomination in June — has pitched herself to the private sector as a backstop. 'I've become the therapist in chief it seems. I'm saying to everybody, 'We're going to be okay.' Maybe it's the mom in me. I know how to calm down situations, and we'll get through this,' Hochul told MSNBC's Morning Joe today. 'Don't panic, everybody. Let the process play out. Let the voters decide and then we'll deal with it. But I did raise those same concerns, and they need to be addressed.' The new role is a tricky one for Hochul, who is running for reelection next year. Mamdani is pressing for hiking taxes on New York City's wealthiest residents, a proposal that must pass in Albany before it can be law. The governor has opposed income tax hikes. Raising taxes would put her at odds with deep-pocketed donors. Hochul insisted she can work with whomever is elected mayor in November. 'I can work with whomever the voters want me to work with,' she said. — Nick Reisman IN OTHER NEWS — SUBWAY HEAT: DOT Secretary Sean Duffy and Rep. Jerry Nadler clashed at a House hearing Wednesday, each accusing the other of lying about rider safety in New York City's subway system. (POLITICO Pro) — CUOMO CONFESSION: Former Gov.
