What's the weather forecast for the 2020 Russian Grand Prix?
The Russian Grand Prix is almost upon us so it's time to look at the weather forecast for this weekend's race: will it be rain or shine at Sochi?
Russia has never hosted a wet Formula 1 race and with this year's race taking place around its traditional September slot on the calendar, it looks like that run will continue.
The forecast has this weekend down as a largely rain-free affair, with possible showers on Saturday but nothing more adverse currently on the horizon.
