Qualifying for the Eifel Grand Prix

A lot of rain has been forecast this weekend at the Nürburgring. It looks like the rain won't fall on Sunday, but it remains possible. Even if there is no rain, the drivers will have a very difficult time with the tyres in the cold weather.

Temperatures are currently relatively low. Warming up the tyres and getting them to the right temperature in one lap is going to be extremely difficult. Therefore, more crashes or double warm-up laps must be taken into account.
