I Think there might be some showers that get to the circuit just as the racing is about to get underway or very shortly after.

Apparently the best thing for weather is windy.com

This looks to show light showers.

Never used it, But looking at it, it seems to use the ECMWF, GFS etc model runs for the data, so be whatever that model reports on its limited runs per day for the weather.

The radar I posted is a live satellite of rain/cloud updated every 5mins.

That Ferrari is mega in some corners while running a low downforce wing.
Apparently lower speeds due to wet conditions eliminated porpoising giving them a massive advantage compared to dry.

So, if Ferrari manages to eliminate porposing to at least as much as Red Bull then they automatically gain 0.4s? wow! in addition, it will allow them (Ferrari) to lower the floor which will translate into more downforce which will result in another tenth of a second gain

Maybe thats because the pace was significantly slower on a wet track. I reckon it would be advantage red bull in the dry.

Also, not really equal to compare when Max lifted off due to a yellow

Correct. The Twitter user also messed up the last lap of max with a previous one.

400, 000 will be accross the 3 days. If you attend all 3 days are you counted 3 times?

Whatever, Silverstone looks rammed, even on Friday which is very good to see.

Probably gate entries over the whole weekend IMHO.

Rain seems to have fizzled out a bit in the West.

Id say a very dry race, or some very light drizzle if it pops up last minute.
