The British Grand Prix is about to take place and the race at the Silverstone circuit is often a spectacle. The weather conditions are not going to change, because the chance of rain is very small this weekend.

The first three races of the Formula 1 season all had a good chance of rain. For example, the qualifying sessions in the second race of Austria and the Hungarian Grand Pweeken. There was also some light rain for the Hungarian GP. However, this is not an expectation for the British Grand Prix.

Ideal temperature for Mercedes

Weather.com reports that on Friday there is still the highest chance of rain with 20 percent, but on Saturday and Sunday that chance is only 10 percent. The temperature is not ideal either. On Friday it's still more than thirty degrees, but we don't see the conditions under which Mercedes performed less in the past on Saturdays and Sundays.

On Saturday and Sunday it is cloudy and just over twenty degrees. The falling temperature is normally in favour of Mercedes, which already has a big advantage over the competition. With the right temperature and also an ideal track for the team, nothing seems to stand in the way of a victory for Lewis Hamilton or Valtteri Bottas.
