    Actual thunderstorms would mean the start won't be worth watching, you'll have to wait til the track is basically completely dry before idiots will go green.

    It was to accommodate the England match apparently.

    French Grand Prix weather forecast: "60% rain possibility for race, more likely around 5pm (local) and later - 1-2 showers likely with a high chance of thunderstorms. Showers should develop around 2-3pm and reach the vicinity of the circuit around 5.30 pm" (so possibly too late) a

    Could be good

    Thunderstorms are bad. They don't make monsoon rain tyres in F1 any more. "Too dangerous", they say.
    A few rain showers would however be welcomed. Even Red Bull maestro Christian Horner seems to think this track will be boring without rain (on a Sky Sports interview now).

    Yeah, they moved all sessions in European races this summer to fit in between the World Cup matches. Sort of. Which is nice. I hate when the Sunday premier League match always clash with an F1 race. :)

    Sure a 15mins rain storm would be marvelous especially in the middle part of pit stop strategies gets teams out of sync.

    Gasly and Ocon made contact, Vettel and Bottas races ruined. What a start by Sainz, and Charlie in P6 is nice

    Bottas and Vettel must have clashed?

    Might make it an easy race for Hamilton

    Could be a penalty for Vettel, close one. Should be the handiest win of Hamilton's career coming up.

    Verstappen up behind Hamilton could be interesting when the safety car comes in.

    Last year it was Singapore, this year it could be this race where Vettel started to throw away the championship.
