Max Verstappen managed to extend his lead in the drivers' championship at COTA, now 57 points ahead of the McLaren of Lando Norris following intervention from the FIA that led to a dramatic conclusion at the US GP.

Verstappen's team-mate Sergio Perez on the other hand only managed a P7 finish, with the Mexican no doubt hoping for a better weekend in front of his adoring home crowd.

But how will the weather play out for this weekend's F1 action?
