F1 British Grand Prix weather forecast: Rain set for Silverstone

The 2025 F1 British Grand Prix takes place on July 6 at Silverstone.

The United Kingdom has enjoyed sweltering heat over the last week, with temperatures hitting over 30 degrees.

But there is the threat of rain for the British Grand Prix on Sunday.

There is a 90% likelihood of rain early on Sunday morning which decreases to 60% by 1pm.

The race begins at 3pm when there is only a 20% chance of rain. But F1 teams must still be on high alert for the potentially changeable conditions.

The temperature is expected to be only 19 degrees which will challenge the drivers to swiftly heat their tyres.

Last year’s race started in dry conditions before being hit with rain.

Lewis Hamilton stormed to his ninth British Grand Prix win in his final season at Mercedes.

This year, Max Verstappen is on pole position after a brilliant qualifying run.

But the McLarens are driving the best machinery so are the team to beat.

Oscar Piastri leads the F1 standings ahead of teammate Lando Norris.

British fans will be hoping that Mercedes' George Russell, McLaren's Norris or Ferrari's Hamilton can claim the victory.

Haas' Oliver Bearman is also one to watch for the locals.
