As an Englishman, I’m something of an expert on rain, so today we saw good weather for ducks – as we say in England – and not such good weather for Formula One cars. But it’s actually not the first time we’ve been in this situation: we successfully ran part of qualifying on Sunday morning in Australia two years ago. Looking on the positive side, the teams managed to run a number of laps on the full wet tyre during free practice this morning – which could yet be useful experience – and the weather is expected to be better tomorrow. Nobody has had much preparation time, but it’s the same for everyone and all the drivers have got a full allocation of new slick tyres for use during the race tomorrow, if conditions allow it. This potentially opens up a few different opportunities for strategy.
