We gonna have a wet race this weekend?

BBC site shows rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday

[Mika Mika]

Hope so!!! Really want to see a wet race with No TC!!!

[roadie]

BBC weather is frequently unreliable, as are all Internet forecasting sites. Here's another view:

Weather.com

I'd love to see a wet race too though. Might actually make this race interesting.

Meteosat: No rain.

F1-Live says rain.

That probably guarantees rain then!

[Owen]

GP Update says rain.

[Owen]

Autosport says 'partly cloudy'.

[Perigee]

What does Bernie say he wants?....it's his decision what the weather will be, surely!

[stevvy1986]

the BBC website is unreliable,it doesn't even give a % chance of various weather conditions,so that 1 icon saying drizzle is irrelevant as that could mean a 1% chance or a 100% chance of rain

Don't get too excited...the 1-drop-of-rain icon is "drizzle"....as in "excuse me young BDSM lady, would you mind awfully if I drizzle your breasts in my steaming white love piss".

Since all the talk of Max and Spankgate, can we get away saying with anything now?

Some other forecasts for this weekend:

Chances of James Allen mentioning the BAFTA : high
Chances of Mark Blundell just repeating everything everyone else has already said : high
Chances of Alonso doing a low fuel glory run during qualifying : medium to high

[molive]

Rain is the only thing that can save an otherwise boring and predictable GP.

If its dry, the only real excitement will be on Saturday.

1st 1: High but undeserved as they dont do the coverage and the post race stuff was non existant and the pre race was all about hamilton and no-one else

2nd 1: High but interspersed with Blundell's own unique grasp (or lack of) of the english language

3rd 1: Doubtful that it'd work

aww shame - Spanish site should be more accurate.

Still it's forecasting rain for Tuesday and Wednesday ... we only have to get MM to blow a bit more hot air and speed up those rain clouds

[F1 Tor.]

How about we just look up at the sky the day of the race?

High pressure in Barcalona this weekend, with some windy spells coming from the JamesAllen. Clouds of tedium may develop during the afternoon. Previously forecast outbreaks of racism are extremely unlikely. Chances of Max making a frosty appearance are very low.

Ok, yours was better.

[Atreiu]

Even if they predict a 100% chance of rain with two or three days in advance, I'll only believe it when I see it.

[Hacklerf]

Well Spain is the boring track of the year so rain is our only help

What are the chances of a group of Spanish fans holding a banner that reads "Let's kick facism out of F1"?

So true...and his assertion that, "whatever reason the contract is going to the BBC it's nothing to do with the quality of ITV's coverage", whilst probably strictly correct in Bernie's mind, is absurdly seflf-delusional in the minds of (almost) every person who has to sit through his ******** whittering.

The reason that the Canadian race was 'the one what won it', as Mark Blundell might say, is 100% **** all to do with the quality of the commentary, and 100% to do with the fact that a certain British driver won his first race there.

I'm hoping for plenty of Anti Nazi banners LOL

Hungary 07 was also very exciting...well, the Qualifying anyway, the multitude of McLaren denials (we know what they're worth!!) about Hamilton telling Dennis to go and ****ing swivel, the pure joy of watching a team implode on itself as Alonso defecated from high on his teammate's qualifying chances, ultimately contributing to his own WDC downfall.

Happy days...

Weather forecasting is scarily accurate nowadays.

Just ask Michael "Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way... well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!" Fish.

That evening, the worst storm to hit South East England since 1703 caused record damages and killed 19 people.

Yeah, I know. But after having high hopes for rain at Sepang, I'd rather be more sceptical.

Not in F1. Accuracy of FOM predictions reaches shocking 50%.

[lustigson]

Boy, I hope it stays dry. I won't be on a covered grandstand...

Wow, I'd REALLY like to know your definition of accurate.
