Rain, sleet or shine? What can the F1 field expect for the 2024 F1 United States Grand Prix?
Current weather forecasts for this weekend’s United States Grand Prix hint at a possibility of showers hitting Austin.
Round 19 of the season kicks off a run of two triple-headers to close out the season, with both drivers’ and constructors’ championships on the line.
The current weather forecasts from RacingNews365’s weather partner WeerOnline indicate that the sprint weekend should be run in hot conditions, but there is a chance of rain on Saturday morning.
This is when the sprint race will be underway local time, with a planned start of 1300 local – 1900 UK time.
Grand prix qualifying gets underway a little later in the afternoon at 1700 local – 2300 UK time, with the grand prix itself due for 1400 local – 2000 UK time on Sunday evening.
The current forecasts predict dry weather for the 56 laps of the main grand prix, with wind blowing from the south-east to north-west, roughly corresponding to a head-wind into the Turn 1 braking zone.
