FIA issues update on Belgian Grand Prix restart amid heavy rain

Drivers initially went out for a formation lap; however, due to poor visibility and several patches of standing water on the track, the race director called the teams back into the pit lane.

The FIA has now provided an update on the start time of the race.

The Belgian Grand Prix has long been synonymous with wet weather conditions. During the 2021 edition of the event, the race was cancelled after just two laps, with drivers awarded half points on that day.
