70% chance of rain?

CaptainRAVE · 13 May 2018 at 13:54

Some hefty clouds around the track. Could mix it up.

steve45 · 13 May 2018 at 13:55

I like the sound of that! cant imagine anything sustained but a few showers thrown in to spice things up would be awesome!

Even Alonso seemed to think it was over.

I thought Spanish national anthem had no words?

It doesn't, but the Catalan anthem does.

Looking forward to this. Top 6 only separated by only 6 tenths so could be quite close.

Plus a green track and Mercedes potentially being slower than some of the cars behind.

Got the Monaco Historic streaming on my phone. Looks lovely conditions there....
Several million quid of old cars and it's raining.

CaptainRAVE · 13 May 2018 at 14:08

Wait, an 80% chance of rain now. Some teams saying no rain? Confused!

80% according to the German commentators.

Also, why does the starting grid graphic have odd/even places in the wrong order?

Flibster · 13 May 2018 at 14:09

Alonso on used super softs, Hulkenberg and Ericsson on new medium tyres. Everyone else on softs.
