Without exploding tyres it's difficult to say whether the race will be interesting like last year. Fortunately rain seems to be on its way and we may actually see wet tyres in use during a race since Brazil 2012 (or inters since Malaysia 2013). That would really spice up racing although Mercedes probably wins unless they're bombarded with 10 cm hailstones. GP2 & GP3 surely will be interesting given the mixed conditions. |

Showers are forecast to be pretty intermittent, wouldn't be getting hopes up for rain. |

We've had lots of rain forecast recently but it doesn't often materialise. I wouldn't trust the weather until the day before. |

Though the way the weather is going this summer, all bets are off. Saying that, I've stood through probably 100s of Kart races at the kart track where I work and the amount of times, even on rainy days, when the rain actually starts mid-race leading to a change in conditions is rare, certainly less than 5% of all the races I've seen. In motorsport we should be thankful for any rain we see across the entire weekend. But yes, first page of a race thread and all the posts are on weather once again To shake things up I'll air an unpopular opinion: I like the new(ish) layout Silverstone run these days. We've gained a lot more imo (2/3 overtaking spots) than we lost with a flat out acceleration zone that was Bridge corner. Discuss. |

A few weeks ago the Met Office had been predicting for days it was going to rain here, so we cancelled some plans we had, that morning I went onto the raintoday and monitored it all day, there was no fucking rain within 500 miles of us, but no, the Met Office had a big rain cloud over the South East the entire time and even on the forecasts throughout the day, kept saying rain is coming. The Met office could not even find a piss up in a brewery if they were given written directions and gps co-ordinates, they'd still end up at the other end of the Country. |

I'd rather have shorter tracks that could mean more racing because it has more laps. but it's ok Silverstone be this way |

Bridge corner was good before they put in the Abbey chicane. |

I will never get used to the new Silverstone layout. Two pitlanes is so confusing. |
