Friday - Free Practice One & Two

The Met Office anticipates Friday's weather to be substantially warmer than the rest of the weekend. The teams and drivers are expected to enjoy sunny skies during their practice sessions, with temperatures reaching a comfortable 25 degrees Celsius. This makes for an excellent start to the race weekend, offering drivers optimal conditions for their opening practice runs.

Saturday - Free Practice Three & Qualifying

The weather forecast takes a turn for Saturday. There's a 60% likelihood of rainfall towards the end of the qualifying rounds, making for potentially tricky driving conditions and hopefully an exciting session for fans.

Sunday - The Race

On race day, the chance of rain is lower, at only 10-20%, though it's predicted to be cloudy and cooler by 5-6 degrees compared to Friday's practice. Despite the potential rain and cooler temperatures, Sunday promises to deliver an exciting race.
