What shocking weather! And another storm forecast for around the start of the GP tomorrow.


Do pirelli have storm tyres..?

F3 delayed due to rain.

Just flicked it back on to see if there was progress - it's so wet the SC lost the back end whilst crawling around the track.

I can see no running today until hopefully qualifying later when it looks like a bit less rain.

F3 Sprint race officially postponed, they’re hoping to find a window later in the day.

Ah yes the typical British summer I see.

Its looking like the race might be mixed with chance of rain decreasing through the afternoon so maybe a wet start and a dry finish.

I’m currently sat on a plane at London Gatwick that’s grounded due to thunderstorms. Hopefully be at my place on the Algarve in time for qualifying this afternoon!

Looks set to be a damp one.

MEO sport or a dodgy box/stick ??

Is FP3 even going to go ahead?

Doubtful.

Weather should be better for quali - could be great fun if the tracks damp but not so much rain as to make it pointless.

Similar weather to we're having here, raining and a freezing cold 20 degrees! (but it is deepest winter here)

Quali is 10PM here, going to settle in with the heating cranked up, a few beers, chinese food, watch the Fremantle AFL game then quali (hopefully)

Stopped raining with us, and the wind is blowing from here towards the circuit so hopefully they’ll see the same.


Hmmm… just looked at ‘Rain today’ and it is just a gap in the clouds

Rain stopped about 30 min ago at track, looks like FP3 will get some running starting in 10 min

Surely F1 FP3 takes priority?

That is the FP3 that should be starting soon

Obviously, yes. I don't know when the postponed F3 sprint will be done today, if they have time later on schedule and weather holds ok.

Weather is improving allegedly and it doesn’t get dark until late so no reason why the support races can’t go ahead after qualifying

Did you edit your post or did I misread it?

Could have sworn you’d written F3
