Rain makes everything more interesting. Preferably it would rain at times causing a hassle in the pits.
If the sprint is mixed wet/dry it might mean we get first interesting sprint race ever!
Exactly! Fingers crossed for this to happen!
Fingers crossed
oh nooooo it’s a sprint weekend 🫣
A lot of rain affected sessions lately! I remember a few years ago where it didn't rain in any qualifying or race for more than an entire season.
Living abt 200km away, we had ~10min medium showers followed by ~30min sunshine for 3 times for abt 2hrs... And it was just so that when everything had completely dried up, it started raining again... That would have been insane conditions for Spielberg during the race.
Rain would make things interesting, but the “boring me” would also like a weekend without complications (especially red flags) for once.
If you watch only Verstappen then you'll get that experience.
Because Pirelli fucked up the tires so much, rain is one of the few important avenues for strategy left in the races. Hoping for a wet qualy!
They can’t win can they, too big of an offset and t’its like “why even bring the softs”
