The British Grand Prix forms the third and final part of the current triple-header in Formula 1. Lando Norris gets the chance to get revenge on Max Verstappen in front of his home fans at Silverstone. But what will the weather be like? 

Weather forecast for the British Grand Prix

A real battle seems to have broken out during the Austrian Grand Prix. For many laps, Norris attempted to overtake Verstappen. A crash eventually ensued, with both drivers suffering punctures. Verstappen eventually finished fifth, and Norris had to park his car in the pit lane. So, the stakes for the British Grand Prix are huge for both drivers. It will also be the last time Lewis Hamilton races for Mercedes at Silverstone.

A potential wet race for teams on Sunday

The points will be distributed during the race on Sunday. Once again, there is a chance of showers, but that keeps coming down as Sunday approaches. On Friday, the chance of rain is estimated at 70 per cent, but on Saturday, the chance of rain was at 40% as the lights go out. According to Weather.com, there is also a 40% chance of rain during the race. The formation lap is predicted to get underway in 15 degrees, and the conditions are described to be 'scattered thunderstorm'.
