What's the update on the weather, lads?

[dans79]

Raining harder now most likely full wet start.

Raining harder on the grid now

[Marty_Y]

Further periods of light to moderate rain are possible before/by race start. Air temp currently 11C with track 18C

Based on radars, the worst of the rain is behind. It might drizzle/rain lightly for the next 30-45 minutes depending on cloud movements, but we're looking at a Turkey-like race. Cold and wet (but little to no precipitations) but with lots of standing water.

Did race direction already say that the race is a wet one?

He's an idiot if he hasn't, the track has standing water on it in spots.

Good race ahead

Did race direction already say that the race is a wet one?

Yes.It’s not just damp there’s standing water.

Cat properly amongst the pigeons now. Strategy plans are mixed up and cars will all be on dry setups. This is going to be interesting.

Quite sure they'll do some laps behind the SC - would be surprising if they didn't ...

[El Scorchio]

Could be a ding dong development battle this season. Driver mistakes and car reliability could be absolutely crucial.

Ferrari might enjoy that in 2022 if Merc/RBR are battling to the last race.

Agree- and how good could that be?!

[El Scorchio]

Only just turned it on. Is there a problem for the Astons? I just caught the tail end of something.

Which car will do well in the wet. Racing Point were massively fast in Turkey last year. Would love to see Mclaren or Ferrari be strong today.
