Formula 1 is almost ready to go racing under the lights at the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend, but what weather conditions can the drivers and the teams expect in Nevada?
Max Verstappen has won the previous two races in America this season – in Miami and in Austin – and having already scored a record 17 victories so far in 2023, can he add to that tally in Las Vegas?
There will be plenty of unknowns considering that the drivers and the teams will be facing a brand-new track, so can Red Bull continue their dominance or will one of McLaren, Mercedes, Aston Martin, or Ferrari contest for top honours?
The weather radar this weekend predicts that there is a small chance of rain hitting the track on all three days of action but the big question is how cold it will be, and how that will affect the cars. All the on-track sessions are taking place at night, meaning it will be naturally cooler, with temperatures expected to drop to near-single figures.
Scroll down below for the full forecast for each of the three days.
