Formula One teams and drivers are braced for a third consecutive grand prix to be disrupted by rain.

Initial forecasts predict a chance of showers over Interlagos on Friday and Saturday with a reduced chance of rain during Sunday's race.

Adverse weather conditions affected the consecutive Japanese and Korean grand prix weekends, adding to the sense of excitement and unpredictability.

Last year's Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying session was badly affected by rain, as was the famous 2008 race which saw Lewis Hamilton snatch the world title on the final corner of the final lap.

And as teams began to set up station at Interlagos on Monday, workers scrambled for cover when a rain storm struck.
