Wet weekend on the cards?

Wet weekend on the cards?

The weather could once again play a major role in the outcome of the Brazilian Grand Prix and ultimately the Championship as rain is expected at some stage over the weekend.

Mother Nature has a history of spicing things up in Sao Paulo with some atrocious weather. Qualifying for the 2009 grand prix took 2 hours and 41 minutes to complete due to a tropical storm while rain also caused havoc during the final laps of the 2008 race.

According to the BBC weather site, it will be no different this year and early forecasts suggest rain will fall on practice day Friday and during qualifying on Saturday.

However, things will clear up on Saturday evening and we should have a dry race on Sunday.

Should it rain, then it will be third grand prix in a row affected by bad weather. Qualifying was postponed until the Sunday morning in Japan following torrential downpours on the Saturday afternoon while the start of the inaugural Korean Grand Prix was red flagged due to heavy showers.
