Spanish Grand Prix weather forecast

Sunday

While we looked set for the first rain hit Spanish Grand Prix since 1996 – an event famous for being dominated and won by Michael Schumacher – the chances have diminished slightly as the race has approached.

However, having looked remote on Saturday there is still a fair few clouds expected around in Catalunya for the local race time of 3pm, where there is now an increased chance of around 25 per cent of showers.

We could be set for another Monaco chaos scenario where rain could see teams making tyre gambles during the race given the uncertainty of the conditions even on race day.
