But of course the attention now is back on racing. We will - for the first time this season - have a damp track at the start of the race. This will make an interesting start and strategies will have to be adjusted!

There is a lot of water on the track in some parts. It will take a few laps for a dry line to form. That is assuming the rain won't come back!

In the past Bridgestone were considered to have an edge with their wet weather tyres however it has been so long since we've had a wet race. It will be an interesting race!

Cars are arriving back at the starting grid!
