Hopefully a decent stint in the rain will mitigate this a little. Forecast has 82% chance of rain in the first half hour, and a 50% chance at the end.

On the race tread it says dry race... :lol: :lol:

I'm just worried about the water splashes that the rain and intermediate tires kick up. No matter how it turns out, the race will follow the safety car.

I think it is just too unpredictable. It is not one big cloud that is coming in but rather small storm cells that can miss you by couple of kilometers. Most weather radars don't show anything imminent toward the track but that could easily change if wind changes.

Never trust BBC weather!!

I'm watching now, no rain but clouds are heavy and it is windy.

Time for a rain dance.

Some spots of rain are now falling, but doesn't look anyway near enough.

Inter level Rain apparently 20 mins in per Toto Wolff. That's a good time.

Small rain in 5 minutes but an unknown quantity.
