Rain on the Hockenheim cards

Latest weather forecast

* A weather report for the nearby town of Heidelberg suggests Formula One might be in a for wet ride in Sunday's German GP at the revised 'Hockenheimring.'

It rained here early on Tuesday morning and storms are expected to persist throughout Wednesday and Thursday although Friday should be cloudy but dry.

Heikki Kovalainen has driven a F1 car before, but the young Finn tasted fully a grand prix drivers' rigours last week with his first full Renault test session.

He thought he was really fit - until Jerez.

''To tell you the truth,'' said Heikki, ''the first day was tough.

''F1 cars are a lot more demanding than any other type of racing car.''

Heikki, asked to drive the R24 car while Jarno Trulli rested, is a young Renault 'development' star and also races in the World Nissan Championship.

A forty percent chance of rain exists for GP-Sunday (22-degrees).
