The British Grand Prix forms the third and final part of the current triple-header in Formula 1. Lando Norris gets the chance to get revenge on Max Verstappen in front of his home fans at Silverstone. But what will the weather be like? 

Weather forecast for the British Grand Prix

A real battle seems to have broken out during the Austrian Grand Prix. For many laps, Norris attempted to overtake Verstappen. A crash eventually ensued, with both drivers suffering punctures. Verstappen eventually finished fifth, and Norris had to park his car in the pit lane. So, the stakes for the British Grand Prix are huge for both drivers. It will also be the last time Lewis Hamilton races for Mercedes at Silverstone.

Big chance of rain on Friday

The first two free practice sessions will be held on Friday. However, the question is whether it will stay dry. According to Weather.com, there is a 64% chance of rain on Friday. Besides, it will not be warm at the track either. The temperature is estimated at 17 degrees and there will be a wind. It is predicted to be 14mph.

Also slight chance of rain during qualifying and race

There is a chance of rain on Saturday, although it will be a lot smaller than on Friday. In fact, the chance of rain is estimated at 24 per cent. Furthermore, the temperature will again be around 17 degrees.

The points will be distributed during the race on Sunday. Once again, there is a chance of showers. Currently, the chance of rain is estimated at 34 percent. The maximum temperature is estimated at 18 degrees.
