Seems a nice balmy weekend to me.?.?
Friday will be hot (so far as it is ever hot in the UK) at about 30-32degC. Saturday and Sunday will be significantly cooler.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Weather models underestimate water vapor heating. It's always a bit warmer if the sun is shining, although it will be a very pleasant weekend.
It is not going to be "hot" on Saturday or Sunday. Especially on Sunday. It'll be a nice t-shirt sort of day.

Tell you what, didn't think it would happen after 2 weeks of dreadful weather, but it was a lovely 26C day today. The initial forecast might have correct after all..
Initial temperature forecast from the model I utilized a few days ago is holding relatively steady at 72-73 F for the weekend.

However, there is a 30% chance for some scattered showers between 12-3 PM on Saturday. Seeing anything about that locally?

Not sure how the rest of the team gets to play. Guidance is that anyone who has been associated with a sufferer should also self isolate. I'd have thought the entire team should be out for 10 days (the self-isolation time applying in the UK now).
The team must have returned negative results and not been in contact since the last GP - clearly Checo or a close family member/associate has not been following saftey procedures.

Honestly, I'm not sad to see Checo out, IMO he's the dirtiest driver in F1. I was deeply unimpressed with his continual dirty driving against Ocon when they were at Tracing point together.

But if its only Sergio then outside of his buble why punish the rest of the team. Although bringing in a new driver to the team might kind of introduce a whole new exposure possibility. Lets hope after the driver who steps in for Perez is further tracked in case he gets infected by Force India Staff.


Question should Sergio also miss out on next weeks GP? i mean 10 day quarantine right?

From what I've seen yes, he's gone for 10 days - there are no exemptions for a positive case.

Zibby in the UK whenever there is a hot day, 32C is HOT for UK, there are likely shows following the hot spell. Rain on Saturday during quali would be glorious!

If the Hulk was seen on track he already passed his COVID19 test. His first podium may be a win, though the single race return of Jenson Button for McLaren in Monaco was not a big success, rolling over Wehrlein...

Wow, I’d love to see hulk get a podium, he’s definitely one of the good guys in F1 who never got into a good car at the right time.

I know these guys have to have a life, but what a silly error to go on a little holiday at this time. Especially with the rumours his seat is anything but safe at the end of the season- he needs all the points he can get.

As for Hulk, what a story it would be if he could finally grab that podium. However, history shows it’s very tough to just step into a car and immediately go well. He will have a job beating Stroll who has done all the testing and 3 race weekends in the machinery. It’ll be very interesting to see how up to speed he is.

Very curious indeed, especially when you consider that Hulk was fighting with his Renault because of an unstable back. Now with last years Merc he will get a superb and planted car.
