The scenario repeats the pattern observed since the start of activities in Monte Carlo. Friday’s free practices took place under sun, as did FP3 and Saturday’s qualifying. Although there was a small possibility of isolated rain in the region during the week, this threat practically disappeared in the most recent forecasts, which indicate less than a 5% chance of precipitation.
Even with favorable weather conditions, track temperature is expected to rise considerably due to direct sunlight, a factor that could influence tire management and some strategic decisions over the 78 laps of the race. Still, on a circuit where overtaking is usually extremely difficult, the track position gained in qualifying tends to have a much greater impact than any meteorological variable. Barring an unexpected change in local conditions, teams can expect a race without weather interference on the streets of Monte Carlo.
