Nico Rosberg's fears about fading light combined with heavy rain look set to be realised at the Malaysian Grand Prix this weekend.

"If the monsoon comes down, the race is going to have to be stopped," the German driver said this week.

The Malaysian Meteorological Department is predicting thunderstorms at Sepang all week, worsening between Friday and Sunday.

Combined with the 5pm start, to better suit the bulk European TV audience, there is a risk the skies above the Sepang circuit could be very dark.

"I hope for a safe race but on Monday it rained heavily during the predicted race duration," track boss Razlan Razali told the local Star newspaper.

Problem solved.

 

^^^

I'm really pumped for this! Bring on the rain! Hamilton will win for sure (after I cut him from my team...)

 

a wet race will increase the gap between the 5-6 driver fantasy teams and the 4 driver squads.

 

Nice, Wet will make thing sooo much more interesting. Can't wait!

 

Rain race!

I hope it doesn't get dangerous.

 

Did they actually change the intermediate / wet tread patterns this year or just change what they are calling them?

 

Fixed it for you.

 

Hopefully we'll see Kimi ice skating like he did last year in Monaco.

 

As long as he doesn't hit Sutil during the race of his life, I'm cool with that.
