The first race of 2014 and it might be a wet one.
We are in Melbourne, Australia for the first round of the 2014 Formula 1 World Championship. Summer is on its way out in Australia, but that does not mean that temperatures are necessarily cold. This weekend, however, we can expect milder than usual temperatures with some rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures will hover in the mid to high twenties with Sunday dropping to an expected low of 19C with a slight possibility of rain.
We are in Austin Texas for the penultimate round of the Formula 1 World Championship. Texas is usually known for its sunny and hot weather. With it being winter in the northern hemisphere we can expect milder temperatures for the grand prix.
Friday temperatures will be hover around the mid twenties with a clear day forecast. On Saturday there is a chance of showers but temperatures will stay in the mid 20s. Race day will be partly cloudy and warm with a forecast temperature of 24C.
The Japanese Grand Prix is usually a dry race. There were some cases where the weather was rather challenging at times. For this weekend we can expect a rather clear and sunny qualifying and race with temperatures in the low 20’s. Rain is forecast for Friday afternoon which could mean limited running for the teams and driver.
The Korean Grand Prix is not usually known for its sunny weather and clear skies. This year is no exception with typhoon Fitow threatening to disrupt the race, teams will be keeping a close eye on their weather reports throughout the weekend. We reported earlier that the typhoon is predicted to disrupt the race, but the latest reports from accuweather.com suggest that Typhoon Fitow will be heading for Shanghai and not for the Korean International Circuit in Yeongam.
Despite the recent report there is still a chance for rain on Saturday during qualifying. For Free Practice on Friday we can expect sunny conditions. Sunday, however, is a different story. Although the typhoon is predicted to give the circuit a miss, forecasters are still predicting very strong winds and rain on Sunday afternoon which could put the race on hold.
We will keep you updated on this weather situation throughout the weekend on our Twitter account @F1_Madness.
Below is the predicted weather expected for the 2013 Fomula 1 Korean Grand Prix
Monza, the legendary Formula 1 circuit. The home of the Italian Grand Prix. “It really feels like you are going back to Formula One’s roots when you race there”, said Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton. It is one of the most iconic Formula 1 circuits.
The weather tends to sunny and hot in Monza. It falls right at the end of the European Summer and it signals the end for the European season in Formula 1.
We expect the weather to be sunny and warm throughout the entire weekend. Temperatures will remain in the mid-to-high 20’s. There is a very slight chance of showers for the race on Sunday but we’re hoping it stays away.
