Hope it rains onto the weekend, will be the most challenging race of the season so far... night race + thunderstorms + some aggressive drivers = proper racing.
Knowing what F1's been like with the rain in recent seasons, they'd probably run the race with the safety car or something daft like that! But, I agree it could be a brilliant race if it does rain and there is some actual racing.
Would love to see a wet Singapore street race but the wet weather is already happening there, so it'll probably clear up in time for the race
If it rains they wont be racing as they wont be able to see anything because of the flood lights reflecting of the water on the track, they touched on this point back in 08. Hopefully it clears up by then.
formula1.com and BBCF1.com are predicting heavy storms all weekend despite there apparently being huge storms for the past week. I would have thought it'd clear up by now but it's looking good. If it does storm expect people going flying at the Singapore Sling.
Well it looks like rain or showers for testing and maybe Qualy. That could present some problems as it may be dry for the race.

Wouldn't it be considered dangerous racing at night, in a downpour? Surely the floodlights would reflect back off the circuit, making it nigh on impossible to see where you are going.
