After a rainy weekend in Canada, Formula 1 is making a grand return to Europe for the Spanish Grand Prix. The race in Barcelona marks the start of a major European triple-header, the first of the season. The tension is mounting, especially now that Mercedes seems to be a contender for the podium. Will the weather at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya add an extra twist to the tale? Here’s the weather forecast for the Spanish GP!
The Canadian GP was made all the more entertaining due to significant rainfall. Many drivers had to tread carefully on the wet asphalt of Montreal. Some were caught off guard and had to exit the race prematurely. The weather forecast for the Spanish GP, however, promises less dramatic conditions. Formula 1 is set to enjoy a sunny weekend in Barcelona.
Weather Forecast for the Spanish GP
On Friday, when the first free practice sessions are scheduled, the weather in Barcelona is expected to be quite pleasant. Despite a 100% chance of rainfall on Thursday, the training session is set to remain completely dry. A gentle southern wind and a maximum temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius will make Spain a delightful destination.
The conditions only improve for the qualifying round. On Saturday, the chance of rain is negligible and the temperature is expected to rise to 27 degrees during the day. It is anticipated that there will be clear skies when Max Verstappen and his colleagues push their cars to the limit. Little changes for the Grand Prix on Sunday – the maximum temperature will be 25 degrees Celsius. With only a 20% chance of rain and plenty of sunshine, spectators can look forward to a sun-drenched race.
