BBC Sport at SilverstoneThe rain dissipitated after final practice and has stayed dry since. However the wind has just picked up, the sky has darkened and there is now the odd drop of wet stuff.
It is as if the Briitish weather knows it is almost qualifying time.

Engine penalties ahoypublished at 12:56 British Summer Time 15 July 2017
A reminder that McLaren's Fernando Alonso is being whacked with a 30-place grid penalty today so by my calculations......give me a mo... let's see here.... carry the one...
Yep, yes, I think he'll start at the back of the grid.
Here's a handy breakdown (no pun intended) of the engine penalties doled out to the engine manufacturers this season.

"I don't mind him really," he says.
Could've fooled us, Billy...

BBC Sport at SilverstoneNow this takes commitment. This is Rachel, who carries this whopping great flag pole all round Silverstone all weekend.
"I've taken it to all over the world," says Rachel. "To Japan, Montreal, Monaco, Spain, although it was banned in Barcelona!
"It features a Union Jack, a Hamilton and Alonso flag. One for LeClerc the GP2 driver and Jules Bianchi.
"It's not heavy but can be difficult to hold up straight when it is windy, like it is today."

Preview: 'One of the most wondrous sights in sport'published at 12:15 British Summer Time 15 July 2017

Image source, Getty ImagesAt a time when the British Grand Prix faces an uncertain future, one aspect of the race is beyond doubt - the love the drivers have for Silverstone.
Championship leader Sebastian Vettel calls it "one of the best tracks". No driver would disagree. And the section from Copse through the Becketts sweeps is one of the most demanding sequence of corners in the world. To see a Formula 1 car through there - which anyone with a general admission ticket can - is one of the most wondrous sights in sport.
These are the sorts of corners grand prix cars were designed for, places they can stretch their legs, where their capabilities leave onlookers spellbound and awestruck.
