Malaysian GP Weather Forecast: Hot, Sticky and Wet?

Updated weather forecast (as of March 21st:)

Previous weather forecast:

It seems that Malaysia will give us another challenge.

As expected, this time of year in Malaysia promises to be very hot, very humid and very temperamental.  There is a possibility of rain and even perhaps flash storms for this weekend’s race.  On Friday, we will have our first real look at how the different Pirelli tyres handle this type of heat.  We should also get a glimpse of which cars are harsher on their tyres under these conditions.

Bring your brellie, you may need it….
