What is the weather forecast for the 2025 British Grand Prix?

Great Britain will host Round 12 of the 2025 F1 season this weekend, but what does the weather have in store for the drivers at Silverstone?

As things stand, it looks like mixed conditions could be on the cards across the three days of action, with sunshine early on making way for potential showers as the weekend progresses.

McLaren were the team to beat last time out in Austria, where temperatures became increasingly hot throughout the event. The squad will be hoping for more of the same this time around, though the forecast suggests that Silverstone will not be quite as warm.

Mercedes, meanwhile, are known to prefer cooler weather, with the W16 seeming to go well on occasions where the temperatures have dropped. How will the Silver Arrows fare this weekend?
