Rain in Spain isn't unheard of, naturally. But there haven't been all that many F1 races blighted by the weather over the years.

Essentially it's a question of when it will rain, not if. Dark black clouds are looming, and we're set to have very different conditions from the conclusion of the F3 race a little earlier on - which was won by Zak O'Sullivan from fellow Briton Luke Browning.
