This is where I get angry at the British weather as even today it's been piddling down all day yet it seems it WON'T rain during the 1 and a half hours that matter on Sunday :(

What's the point of rain if it won't make F1 races better?

To be fair, they'd start behind the safety car if someone spills their drink on the track. Rain doesn't always make it better these days. :(

The 5 day forecasts tend to change day by day. I wouldn't rule rain out just yet, although it's not looking too hopeful.

Well 2003 was pretty good, as was the first part of 2002.

Once we get those MEGA-powerful turboes back, expect the rain races to be even worse:

Rain is expected to become heavier, so many teams are on track already.

Given this isn't Canada where barriers are close, but a track with sizable tarmac run offs, I don't know what's the risk with driving in wet. The worst what could happen is spin (although Senna managed to crash it last year, but it was more driver to blame).
