Always think that what happened to Anthoine / Dilano here, has spooked the FIA over any bad weather when it arrives in Spa
And everywhere else.
Spa though like you say, has such a unpredictable weather system - I remember watching Eurocup last year here.
They let the cars go back to Green Flag racing, and by the time they got to the end of the main straight, the heavens opened back up again. So had to immediately red flag it, because of the cars that were immediately aquaplaning.
Has it even started raining again yet, we got told more rain would hit within 10-15mins of the start, but if thats not arrived yet... They could have had 30mins of racing by now.
Sitting in the grand stand pit at Spa and the weather isnt going to get better, they'll either have to get it going soon in this dryish spell or it'll be rained off again.

It has been raining. They should have insisted on full wets under the safety car to clear some of the water and to get temperatures up. I can't see how it can improve to a better situation than it was at 15:00 Spa time.

With the FIA as it is, I would never plan to go to Spa again.
