Max Verstappen has reason to celebrate: Brazilian Grand Prix set for plenty of weather antics

This could be interesting: meteorologists are issuing warnings ahead of the upcoming Formula 1 World Championship race in Brazil – thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon (i.e. when qualifying is due to take place at Interlagos), and rain on Sunday.

Red Bull Racing star Max Verstappen will be pleased to hear this: he has put in outstanding performances on a wet track at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace.

If Saturday really does turn out to be as treacherous as the weather forecasters are predicting, then Formula 1 has a Plan B up its sleeve: holding qualifying on Sunday before the race.
