Qualifying for the Brazil GP postponed due to heavy rain

The FIA report that qualifying for the Brazilian GP has been postponed. After a dry Sprint, heavy raid arrived to the track ahead of qualifying.

It often rains during the Brazilian GPs and this weekend was no different. After a dry Friday and a dry Sprint, from half an hour before qualifying, the sky has turned dark and it began to rain hard. The FIA have since confirmed that the start of qualifying will be postponed due to the heavy rain.

Rain for Saturday afternoon was already predicted. On Sunday, the chance of rain is even higher: there is an 80% chance of rain on the day of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. So it is possible that there was a dry Sprint section of the weekend, and there will be now a rainy qualifying and Grand Prix sessions.
