F1 German GP preview: 20% chance of a wet race


More good news for Lewis the rainmaster?

Some forecasters are predicting a wet German GP at Hockenheim this weekend, but according to the latest predictions at Weather.com (see above), there’s an 80% chance that we’ll have a dry race.

In the light of Lewis Hamilton’s masterful drive in the wet at Silverstone, there’s no doubt the McLaren team will be performing several raindances in the hope that it also pisses it down at Hockenheim. But we’ll stick our neck out, in a Michael Fish stylee, and predict a dry race.

Word to the wise: never trust the BBC’s weather site. It’s almost always inaccurate.
