The FIA<\/a> have issued a rare \u2018level 4\u2019 rain weather warning for Saturday at the Brazilian Grand Prix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s event in Sao Paulo<\/a> was impacted by wet weather, with qualifying cancelled and moved to Sunday morning as a result of torrential downpours.<\/p>\n

A similar scenario could play out this year, with running on Friday – including the one and only practice session and sprint qualifying – unlikely to be affected by rain.<\/p>\n

Yet on Saturday, an \u2018orange alert\u2019 weather warning has been issued for the Sao Paulo region – indicating an extratropical cyclone – with rain in the region of 60mm\/h, alongside intense winds of 60km\/h.<\/p>\n

There is extremely heavy rain on the forecast, with the sprint race at 11am local time (2pm GMT) showing a \u201chigh chance\u201d of showers, up to level 3\/4.<\/p>\n

For context, level 4 is the highest level of rain on the weather system of F1<\/a>\u2019s governing body. The FIA has issued an 80% chance of rain on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

For qualifying at 3pm local time (6pm GMT), the chance of rain decreases to 40%, though the weather is known to change rapidly around the Interlagos circuit.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, there is a moderate chance of rain – around 20% – but conditions will remain overcast, with a chance of one light shower during the race at 2pm local time (5pm GMT).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The FIA have issued a rare \u2018level 4\u2019 rain weather warning for Saturday at the Brazilian Grand Prix.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[85274,49,48,123404,578,576,577,82,20517,123403,123402],"class_list":["post-268343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-brazilian-grand-prix","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-extratropical-cyclone","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports","tag-sprint-race","tag-weather-system","tag-weather-warning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
