Accuwather seems to only have a 25% of rain from about 13:00 local time (Race Startish time) - so fingers crossed for a mixed race.
Might actually get up for this one

Japanese Meteorological Agency is saying there are storm advisories in the area from 12pm local time until 6am Monday - a 'middle' chance there will be heavy rain exceeding their expectations too.
Also they're saying 90% chance of rain for prolonged periods
In plain English: FIA say no racey when it do moistings.
That doesn't look promising. Not sure how to embed a tweet..

I'm a Lando fan, but I've got no idea why he decided to undertake Max on the last corner of an out lap. It completely messed up his run on his only set of new softs.
There seems to be a lot of bizarre messing about during out laps that seems completely unnessecary and usually ends up with the aggressor having a worse lap. Exiting garages directly in front of a other car, fighting for position etc.

Wake up you lot

I'm awake, in fact its almost beer time as its 5.20pm here in NZ! Looks like a good wet conditions with mix of intermediates and full wets on the cars as they come out of the pits!
Soldato
That's cheating
If it gets to fill wet conditions then I'd be surprised if they run. FIA tend to panic when it rains heavily for more than 30 seconds. Mind you, it was horribly wet in 2014
Man of Honour
Really really hope we race on time!
Soldato
Pretty sure we will. It's wet, but not wet enough to cause problems.. yet..
Soldato
It better start properly in ~15mins without safety car laps (besides maybe the first lap or two as grid is apparently unevenly wet), hardly raining cats and dogs at the mo!
Soldato
Looks good enought to start. Want a standing start not rolling as the wheel spins make it fun... concerns about one side being slippery and unfair so we may end up with the rolling....
Soldato
Yep, I'd be confident this is a standing start.
Soldato
Leclerc doesn't take advantage of his good start, Sainz in the wall, go reds! Oh Albon out too, safety car borefest already...
