Looks like final practice will be in dry conditions.
There will be a driver change down at Williams with Logan Sargeant getting another outing for the team ahead of his debut next year.
Second practice (the most pointless session of the weekend) kicks off in just under 15 minutes.
The F1 sprint is at 7:30pm UK time.
