The bad thing about weather forecasts is that they change all the time!

But the great thing about weather forecasts is that they change all the time!

In short, we are never sure of anything, and if, at 90%, Sunday's races still seem likely to take place in the rain, Saturday could be the least humid day of the weekend, since the probability of bad weather went from 90% to 20%.

With a wet race expected, would that really be a good thing?

Perhaps, at least for the spectators, yes, because we would then see, during qualifying, the usual hierarchy of factory drivers in the dry, but which would not necessarily correspond to their true potential in the rain. Hence, undoubtedly, a race with twists and turns...

But the sky is impenetrable and we will still have to wait a few hours before knowing whether or not FP3 and qualifying will take place in the wet.
