The Italian Grand Prix is just around the corner and at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Max Verstappen is the big favourite. According to the weather Weather.com The weather doesn't seem to be a problem.

Red Bull Racing 's RB18 is extremely dominant on the straights in 2022. At Spa-Francorchamps, Verstappen drove his car from the back to the front of the grid, with no one really in his way. Ahead of the Italian GP, Verstappen is therefore the big favourite.

Rain in Italy

Where Verstappen fans always hoped for rain in the past, they will not do so in 2022. Verstappen has the best car in dry conditions and unpredictable weather conditions can only throw a spanner in the works. In that respect the weather forecast for this weekend is ideal.

According to Weather.com, Saturday and Sunday will be sunny at Monza with no more than 22 percent chance of rain. With 27 degrees, the temperature is also expected to be fine. Friday, the weather is possibly a little less. The chance of rain is 97 percent, with especially a high chance of rain in the morning. Friday's practice sessions could be spoiled, giving teams less time to fine-tune their cars.
