After an action-packed race weekend ended at Sochi Autodrom, the Formula 1 paddock is headed towards the Istanbul Park Circuit for the Turkish Grand Prix.
Yesterday, during the Free Practice sessions, the sun was glaring over the Turkish capital. However, the conditions changed overnight, courtesy of heavy rainfall. And even during Free Practice 3, there were few rain showers.
Although, according to Weather.com, the predictions are it will be mostly cloudy during the qualifying with a 9% chance of precipitation. Therefore, a damp track is expected during the Turkish GP qualifying.
