Sunshine and smiles at the Mexico Grand Prix | Sunday forecast!

Last season, we saw Carlos Sainz claim his final victory for Ferrari at the iconic Mexican venue under warm sunshine.

This year, there is a chance that rainfall can affect the nature of the race entirely, as Mexico is set to begin its rainy season in the coming weeks.

So far we have seen warm temperatures with hints of sun on both Friday and Saturday.

The conditions were dry in FP1 and FP2 on Friday, under a cosy 25°C temperature with absolutely zero rainfall despite the chances being 40%.

Similar conditions were seen for qualifying on Saturday, with drivers only needing to use the soft and medium compound tyres throughout FP3 and qualifying.

Sunday is expected to have similar conditions, with a predicted 25°C temperature for the race start.

Although the air mass will supposedly be drier than the last few days at the circuit and there is only a 20% chance of rain during the race.

The circuit sits at an elevation of 2,238m above sea level, with the thin air at the high altitude track bringing a new set of challenges for the grid.

As the lowest grip circuit on the calendar, drivers and the cars have to work twice as hard to power through the race.

Cars will run much hotter than on a circuit at a lower altitude, and teams often adjust the set-up and ride height to suit the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Luckily, the circuit is shorter than most, and the mild weather should give the pack a much easier time than under the blistering sun.
