SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium: The Belgian Grand Prix was suspended after hours of heavy rainfall made it too risky to start the race on time Sunday.
A red flag came out shortly after 3:30 p.m. following a formation lap and no new start time was immediately given. The 7-kilometer (4.3-mile) Spa-Francorchamps circuit was totally drenched for the scheduled 3 p.m. start, which was twice pushed back to 3:25 p.m.More Related News
