Red Bull team principal Christian Horner will probably be performing rain dances all night, as he has admitted that Red Bull's chances of success will increase drastically should it rain.
Horner has acknowledged that Mercedes will be the favourites to win the French Grand Prix by a mile, but that doesn't mean that the Bulls can't get a decent result.
"I think Mercedes are gone at this rate," he admitted to Sky Sports F1.
"As long as they don't screw it up tomorrow they're in pretty good shape.
"We're in a race with Ferrari."
Daniel Ricciardo is a bit more optimistic about the Bulls' chances.
"I felt like my hands were tied a little bit.
"The session was frustrating, because I was limited with what I could improve.
"I'd be happy with rain.
"With rain, I can get on the podium."
