After a first day disrupted by a few drops, then a dry Saturday, the weather forecast for this Sunday morning is unequivocal; it's raining at the Sachsenring!

In terms of drivers, the news is not great either, since following the numerous crashes of the weekend, Niccolo Antonelli, Maria Herrera and Fabio Spiranelli are out on various fractures.

Conversely, fabio quartararo, despite affected ligaments and a micro fracture in his hand will be present on the starting line, just like Jorge Navarro, back on the Grands Prix despite the pain.

As the race is expected in the rain, yesterday's qualifying seems obsolete and a new hierarchy should be put in place by the end of the 15 minutes allocated to this session.

Quickly, Khairul Idham Pawi, the young Malaysian driver from Honda Team Asia who won the Argentine Grand Prix in extremely tricky conditions, is in the lead ahead of George Martin, Jorge Navarro (injured) and Phillip Oettl.

We also notice Andrea Locatelli, author of a minor fall, but also of second time of this session; perhaps a candidate for victory, unlike most of the other Italian drivers who don't like the rain...

Jules Danilo hides in the middle of the ranking, 17th, whileAlexis Masbou and Fabio Quartararo appear respectively 28th and 32nd.
Even if some people sometimes don't take risks during a warm up, it doesn't bode well...
