Though drama in Bahrain seems to be hanging a cloud of uncertainty over Formula 1 at the moment, this weekend's annual Chinese Grand Prix over at the Shanghai Circuit looks to be exciting.
Where we're going this weekend: Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix
Will the F1 Chinese Grand Prix be a wet one?
The Shanghaiist Weather Center is 100 percent sure the answer will be yes (although is Shanghai Circuit really in Shanghai?). It's dry now in the French Concession, but the dark clouds above suggest it won't stay that way for long.
