Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying.

Team to driver : "Expecting some Class 1 rain."

The commentator interpreted that as meaning drizzle.

One Monday morning after landing at Nice, I said to a ground agent "A lot of private aircraft here today".

He replied with typical French accent: "It was the Monaco Big Prize yesterday."

Just to clarify this terminology, here we had Class 0 rain all day.

Looks lovely.

Meanwhile, we had our dullest day for quite a while. Just a few spots of mizzle in the wind (Class 0.5?). Any photo would be quite dismal. The weather is rarely really uninteresting, but today gave it a good shot.

I'm just about to catch up and watch the sprint & main race quali. I'm not really a fan of the spring races, but from what you, I'm hoping some Class2 rain to spice things up.

Translation
spring = "sprint"
you = "you said"

I have just been to the supermarket, so have only just turned the brain back on
