This weekend F1 races in the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix and rain is expected. During the week it will not stop raining on the circuit and those odds will go down as the weekend approaches. Until Sunday, when they will go up again. The first race of the year in rain.
The forecasts mark 70-80% chance of rain between Friday and Sunday. It is not far from the 75% that they mark for this same Tuesday.
Everything indicates that the drivers will drive in the rain both in qualifying on Saturday and in the race on Sunday. The intensity will mark if the test can be held normally or not.
A condition that harms the fastest cars. Because rain means chaos. And that is what those above do not want. she already said it Fernando Alonso in Miami: a dry race was better for them because that was where they were really competitive.
But perhaps to compete against the Red Bulls, which are currently unreachable (Max Verstappen and Checo Perez they lead the world championship by far) yes, that rain comes in handy that always brings questions under its arm.
On Friday, with the first free practice. Initial doubts will be cleared up. But the important thing will be the weather on Sunday with the race.
