What is the British GP weather forecast?

Lewis Hamilton took his first win in more than two years at Silverstone 12 months ago, and his ninth on home soil, to become the record-holder for victories at a single circuit

The early forecast for Silverstone is not looking good for sun, as rain is predicted for Saturday's qualifying and Sunday's race.

Friday's practice sessions should be dry and settled, but the following day drizzle is due to arrive at the 5.891km circuit.

The 52-lap grand prix could feature thundery showers and a moderate breeze.
