F1 Silverstone British Grand Prix weather forecast – DRAMATIC change to Sunday outlook

Rain appears to have been a constant for much of this F1 season and once more there is a chance of showers for Sunday's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Saturday saw stormy weather play a part in both free practice and qualifying with the track wet at different times causing even home favourite Lewis Hamilton to spin.

Max Verstappen is aiming to win a sixth consecutive race, but will have contend with the home crowd cheering on Lando Norris, who shocked everyone by grabbing second place, as well George Russell and Hamilton who qualified fourth and fifth respectively.

Here's the forecast for what promises to a very tasty day of racing at the Northamptonshire circuit...

Silverstone Grand Prix weather forecast

Sunday

Around racetime, it's lights out at 3pm, the weather is predicted to be volatile, potentially stormy with a chance of both rain and sunny spells – so incredibly changeable and hard to predict.

The chance of rain tops out at over 40 per cent just before lights out, and rain clearly visible on the radar to the west.

The potential for stormy interludes and random showers ticks up as soon as the race gets underway though, so there may well be a chance that weather very much plays a part at Silverstone later today
