As the teams have packed up their gear in Russia to board their flights to Japan, we thought it would be nice to provide the weather update for this race weekend in Suzuka; and plenty of rain is expected!
the teams are bringing plenty of intermediates and full-wets with them, as rain is expected for most of the time the F1 circus is at Suzuka. It's dry right now, but from Thrusday onwards, expect it to start spitting.
Friday's practice sessions will be on a slippery track. Rain is most likely going to fall throughout the entire day, meaning that we'll probably get a good amount of spins from those sessions.
Saturday, not much will change, meaning that we're in for another wet qualifying round, much like in Hungary, where Lewis Hamilton gave us a masterclass. The temperatures will still be high, though; 29 degrees Celsius.
Sunday, there's less chance of rain, meaning that we might get robbed of a wet Grand Prix yet again, but it should make for a good race nonetheless!
