Though it had happened before sometime in F1 history, it would still feel uncanny for rain to fall in two consecutive races. The FIA was looking at such a rare possibility in this Belgian Grand Prix.
The thought of this put an uneasy weight all across the paddock, because the odds of back-to-back wet Grands Prix were slim, but never zero.
Of all days, the chances of rain picking race day for the Australian GP, then for the Belgian GP, felt like nature had something personal against the smooth running of the sport.
Bad weather disrupted coordination and administration off the track just as much as it deharmonized the drivers—an inconvenience for everyone.
The entire community prayed against the shifting grey skies as that strange tension of déjà vu crept in with each thunder roar and passing lap.
