The Mexcian Grand Prix briefly featured rain on Friday, but it didn't trouble the teams or drivers. Conditions were dry on Saturday, and they will be better still on Sunday. In fact, it's probably about the best conditions you can get in Formula 1.

Mexican Grand Prix dry

According to weather.com, the Mexican Grand Prix will be warm and dry. Constant sunshine is forecast to be hitting the circuit, with temperatures rising to 25c when the race starts. There is just a 1% chance of rain in the afternoon. The wind is expected to be similar to the rest of the weekend, around 6mph in the northeast direction.

An exciting qualifying session in Mexico meant a completely different outcome to what might have been expected beforehand. Not Max Verstappen on pole position, but Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque was the fastest in the home country of Red Bull driver Sergio Perez and will start from first place during the race. Next to Leclerc is his teammate Carlos Sainz. This means an all-red front row of the grid due to the two Ferraris in the top two. Verstappen will probably have to start from the same place he finished in Mexico: third place. Fourth place is a surprise, as that is where Daniel Ricciardo will start. Click here to see the provisional grid.
