Just one week away from the inaugural GP of the 2026 season in Australia, Formula 1 will return to the track this weekend in Shanghai for the Chinese GP. Unlike Melbourne, the upcoming weekend will present a big novelty, which can be found in this case with the holding of the Sprint Race, which is why the weather conditions will have further importance. The latter, however, should not reserve any bad surprises.
According to forecasts provided by accuweather.comIndeed, there will be no risk of rain on the days of Friday and Saturdaywith the Sprint and the qualifications taking place under a bright sun and with maximum temperatures of 17°. The long race on Sunday, however, will be more ‘uncertain’: in addition to a cloudy sky, the percentage of precipitation will also increase, although still less than 30%.
