Risk of electricity cuts, damage to crops, falling trees and flooding.
“In case of gusts of wind: . If possible, turn off electrical appliances and the general power supply.” Formula 1 is no stranger to a wet Brazilian Grand Prix, and last year it opened the door to a shock pole position for Haas’ Kevin Magnussen who pipped Max Verstappen in the downpour.
