Weather forecast in Singapore is pretty much the same around the year. 29-32C, sun, cloudy, rain showers, thunderstorms in random order. This time of the year they don't last so long, which is good compared to Sepang, because under lights the race could go on even if delayed by half an hour or so. So no need to cancel the race.

Pretty reliable weather source is the local one under:

If you actually look at the rain map of Singapore, which is updated every 15 minutes you'll see that basically there is always at least some kind of tiny rain shower in some corner of this small island.

So no matter what the forecast is, there always a chance for a few drops.

I thought there was a 3rd practice session? Not really concerned though as qualifying is more of an insight as to what strategy the team's will run.


WOOOO HOOOO we get to watch F1 this weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jim Riven]

Third practice will finish approx 2 hours before the start of Qualifying.

Dont forget Petit, that race looks good too.

[EwanM]

Yeah i'm going to try and catch some of Petit.

I hope qualifying isn't ruined by traffic (eg. Trulli) today. It is looking likely.
