Chance of rain increases for the Mexican Grand Prix weekend
F1 News
Formula 1 teams and drivers can once again expect good conditions. In Austin, sunshine often hit the track, and there was no rainfall. The same is forecast for the race in Mexico, though it will perhaps be a little bit cooler. On Friday, it appeared the chance of rain had increased for Sunday.
Max Verstappen increased his lead in the Drivers' World Championship at the United States Grand Prix weekend, meaning Lando Norris must maximise everything from the remaining five events. That begins with the event in Mexico. It's Sergio Perez's home race, and he also needs to get the best out of it as Red Bull's position in the Constructors' Championship comes under threat from Ferrari.
What is the weather forecast for the Mexican Grand Prix weekend?
On Friday, it will be sunny. According to Weather.com, there is a 0% chance of rain during FP1 and FP2. The temperature for the first session will be 19c and it will warm up to 23c for the second session. There will be a bit more cloud in the sky on Saturday. It is also extremely unlikely to rain on Saturday, but it will be cooler. For qualifying, the temperature is predicted to be 21c.
On Sunday, there is an increased chance of rain. It currently stands at 36% with a warning of showers in the afternoon.
