Friday is forecast to be the driest day of the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, but isolated afternoon thunderstorms remain possible. Motorsport.com says rain during practice is relatively unlikely; earlier showers could still leave parts of Marina Bay damp when the cars take to the track.

Forecasts differ on Friday’s rain risk. Formula 1 gives the afternoon and early evening a 30% chance of rain, compared with 40% on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. RacingNews365, by contrast, expects Friday practice and sprint qualifying to be dry.

Free Practice 1 is scheduled for 4:30pm Singapore time on Friday, October 9, with sprint qualifying at 8:30pm.
