Spanish GP to endure at least 30-year wait after Barcelona forecast
The Spanish Grand Prix is expected to continue its streak of dry races for 30 years, with the upcoming 2025 event predicted to be rain-free.
The last wet race in the Barcelona Grand Prix was in 1996, when Michael Schumacher won his first Ferrari victory. There might not be rain until 2026, as the circuit has a contract for that year despite the possibility of Madrid hosting the Spanish GP.
Unlike other F1 tracks, the Spanish Grand Prix has seen only dry races since 1996, making it the longest such streak on the current calendar. Monza, in comparison, last had rain during the 2008 race.
Weather forecasts for the 2025 race indicate temperatures around 28-29 degrees Celsius, with South-West winds creating a headwind on the main straight towards Turn 1, potentially improving overtaking opportunities.
