The British Grand Prix is just around the corner and in England it is always a matter of seeing what the weather does. It can turn at any time on the island and that chance seems to exist again this weekend.
For the coming weekend the weather doesn't seem to be in favour of Formula 1. According to Weather.com, rain is expected on Thursday and Friday and this will probably not change much for the rest of the weekend. Especially on Thursday, there will be a lot of rain (82 percent chance), with some after-effects on Friday (50 percent). During the first two free practice sessions, it is therefore likely to be wet at Silverstone.
No sun in Silverstone?
On Saturday, it doesn't look much better. The chance of rain increases to 82 percent, the wind also increases to 25 kilometres per hour and the temperature drops from twenty to eighteen degrees. Qualifying, therefore, can be quite a challenge again for the drivers.
Sunday is still the biggest unknown factor. The medium predicts morning showers around Silverstone with a 38 percent chance of that rain actually falling. The temperature will rise to twenty degrees and the wind will decrease by ten kilometres per hour. It will be interesting to see which teams find the best setup in these changing conditions.
BBC weather disagrees! There may be some rain on Saturday but otherwise dry.
Ask any Brit! Its impossible to predict British weather! Impossible!!! Always be prepared for a shower ;)
This is good news for Lewis, Russell, Sergio, Stroll, Vettel and pretty much all the top drivers except the ones who drove poorly in Turkey 2020.
Sergio struggles in the wet! And Stroll is in F1 because of his daddy's money! How did you forget rainmaster Max? Didnt you watch the Canadian race?
You mean this is good news for the driver that was dominant in all wet sessions this year?
Weather predictions from the Meteorological Office for Silverstone Race Track: Friday - 12:00 to 13:00 hrs 30% chance of rain. 16:00 to 17:00 hrs 30% reducing to 10% chance of rain. Saturday - 12:00 to 13:00 10% increasing to 30% chance of rain. 15:00 to 16:00 hrs 40% chance of rain. Sunday - 15:00 to 17:00 hrs 10% chance of rain. Temperature over Friday to Sunday steady at 18 to 19C. Where does this site get it's weather from?
At least tyre deg. is out of the window! 10% for the race. Disappointed. Call in bernie for some sprinklers please
If it rains, expect Supermax to dominate the tracks. That will be the perfect reply for 2021. Hope to see Leclerc shine in the wets too. In Mixed conditions, its impossible to dominate the circuit as pit timings and luck (safety car) also becomes a factor. Im excited already, but as a BRIT, im angry. The parking lot at Silverstone will be a swimming pool and commute times will quadruple.
Rain possibly a major factor during British GP.. Good for Max........
If the FIA will let you hem race. Nobody wants to see a Spa 2021 again. A little bit of rain will make it interesting for sure.
