The end of the weekend is turned upside down at Silverstone. Due to the risk of heavy rain, the Warm Up as well as the MotoGP race were postponed, also disrupting the Moto3 timetable. The Warm Up therefore begins at 10:30 a.m. French time. The drivers will once again ride in the dry while rain is forecast for their race, making this session of little use given what awaits the field this afternoon. Everyone will still try to adjust their bike as best as possible.
Here are the results compared on the Silverstone circuit between 2017 and 2018:

It is 13 degrees in the air and 14 degrees on the track when the drivers set off under a black sky. While they are in their launch tower, Adam Norrodin (Petronas Sprinta Racing) falls. In just a few minutes, conditions changed and raindrops began to fall, which may have been the cause of the Malaysian's fall.
Only ten drivers set a time: Marco Bezzecchi (PruestlGP), Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Leopard Racing), Alonso lopez (Estrella Galicia 0,0), Enea Bastianini (Leopard Racing), John Mcphee (CIP – Green Power), Jakub Kornfeil (PruestlGP), Nakarin Atiratphuvapat (Honda Team Asia), Dennis Foggia (Sky Racing Team VR46), Kazuki Masaki (RBA BOE Skull Rider) and guest driver Tom Booth Amos (Leopard Racing). The others returned directly to the pits.
No rest for the wicked!

All the drivers come out in the last five minutes, but no one takes any risks and therefore achieves no significant time. It's all the same Marco Bezzecchi who finishes first. This session was not very useful to the drivers, who would have really needed it for the race!
