No, of course I don't know, but AFAIK British weather is known for being unpredictable, and wet GPs happen a lot there. When they built the Arena Complex I thought they had improved the drainage, now I see that that has not happened.
My general point was, to cancel a race now would be chaos for Bernie and the FOM gang. Especially in such a place with such a demand. I'd love to see, for the sake of the drivers, that the races could be moved in the event of a monsoon, like IndyCar did in Brazil last year. But the logistic chaos would be huge.
