Last year there was a Australian Grand Prix very complex for the drivers on the Melbourne circuit, at least as regards the weather conditions: from the immediate withdrawal of the then rookie Isack Hadjar, who ended up spinning during the reconnaissance lap, to other errors made by the more experienced, all betrayed by heavy rain. The question arises almost spontaneously on the eve of this edition: will there still be bad weather as an obstacle?
The answer, as provided by the forecasts of accuweather.comAnd No. This not only for the race on Sunday 8 March, but also for the previous free practice sessions and qualifying, scheduled between Friday and Saturday. With maximum temperatures varying between 20° and 25° over all three days, the highest ‘risk’ will be during qualifying, with cloudier skies and stronger gusts of wind. However, it should be underlined that the chances of rain will still be minimal: 4%.
