'Weather's getting better'

Local weather boy, Rubens Barrichello, isn't so sure it'll rain in Sunday's Brazilian grand prix here near Sao Paulo. An official forecast said the chance of rain on grand prix Sunday has been downgraded from seventy to sixty per cent.

Friday and Saturday should be cloudy but dry. "Brazil can be funny," said the Ferrari driver, who was born - and still lives part-time - in the sprawling megalopolis.

He added: "I think we're getting the bad weather right now and it's going to get better - but that's just my gut feeling."
