Mexican GP: What's the latest weather forecast?

25-10-2019 14:26

The Mexican Grand Prix was threatened by rain earlier in the week, and although the chance of precipitation has dropped, teams and drivers shouldn't be pushing their wet weather preparations aside. Rain is set to fall on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

Over the last two Formula 1 season, the drivers have been lucky as they've managed to avoid the rain. There's been the odd spot at a few races but nothing major other than the 2019 German Grand Prix when Daniil Kvyat ended up on the podium in his Toro Rosso. 

Earlier in the week, Lewis Hamilton made it clear he was doing his rain dances ahead of the weekend. The Mercedes driver suggested he had little chance of putting his Silver Arrow on pole position unless it rains when the chance increases. It doesn't look like his wishes will be granted. 

Sunday's race should also avoid any rain, though if Hamilton managed to outscore Valtteri Bottas by 14 or more points, then Hamilton's sixth world championship celebrations might have to be planned for an indoor event as rain is forecast to start falling at 4pm. 

With overnight rain falling on both Saturday and Sunday, the track might be a little bit green for both qualifying and the race.
