Hahahahaha, once again, someone thinks they can predict european weather in a hilly coastal area hit by the gulf stream over a week ahead

For reference, yr.no is saying sunny for friday and saturday. But I honestly wouldn't trust it this far out, and even they wouldn't trust themselves to get anything at all right as far out as sunday.

You mean Blanchimont. They took that corner with DRS open last year. They can take that with a stalled rear wing too.

In qualifying they did, not sure it's doable with a full load of fuel. Then again they're not cornering as quickly so maybe...

[Tim.Wright]

any one have a idea what the weather will be like for those days?

At which corner?

I'm glad you're amused but I haven't been wrong yet so maybe I know something others don't.

Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
[Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
[Lisa refuses at first, then takes the exchange]

If you knew more than all of europe's weather forecasters put together, you'd be a very rich man

[Hail22]

I'd be willing to say you have more chances of being hit by lightening...on your birthday than accurately forecasting the weather for this Grand Prix haha.

To be fair, it's entirely plausible that his forecast is 100% accurate (just not very detailed). The problem is, that if it turns out to be so, it'll be purely by chance, not through any skill.

For reference, yr.no's forecast is now for sun friday and saturday, but light rain on race day. I bet heavily it won't be saying exactly the same come the weekend.

Lol, hasn't it mixed weather there for the last 25 race weekends or something. If you want us to be impressed with your amazing skill at predicting the weather you'll have to give us much more detail

[godlameroso]

Not last year.

I predicted Australia,Malaysia, China, Spain, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and Hungary accurately weeks in advance. I didn't even bother for Monaco(the most difficult to predict especially at the end of spring), or Bahrain(even an idiot could predict the weather for that).

Like I said doubt if you want, by next Tuesday I will be able to give a more or less as to when it will rain, right now all the data I'm privy to says it will be a mixed weekend. It will be dry'ish Friday with some light rain and it might affect practice 1 or 2, Saturday will give you a drying track as overnight showers leave a damp track. Might be dry for qualifying. Sunday will be on and off rain, the wetness of the track will vary throughout the day not unlike Brazil of last year.

Wet FP?

Ill go against the flow here and say I hope, godlameroso, that you are correct yet again, because if you are, we just may have a stellar weather predictor in our ranks, and that can only help our efforts in anticipation and analysis of these races. [-o< If you are incorrect...

So you will be right either way? Nicely played, indeed.

[beelsebob]

Current forecast: dry friday and saturday. WET sunday.
