Every F1 fan is hoping that rain is going to shake up the usual grid positions and create more excitement this afternoon. In
Portimao, it looked like rain for a long time, but in
Imola, those predictions are worth nothing at all.
In Italy it may be autumn, but it will probably remain dry. With a maximum temperature of nineteen degrees, it won't get hot either, but the sun will show itself on the legendary circuit, says
WeatherOnline. Even before the race and after the race there is little or no chance of rain.
Hoping for a safety car
The drivers do not have to fear the wind either. With wind force 1 to 2, there is hardly any breeze, which is a big contrast to Portimao, where the wind was one of the factors the drivers had to take into account. It is going to be a dry Grand Prix, so it is hoping for some excitement by means of a safety car, otherwise, it could be a boring race.
So although there will be no rain in
Imola, the relatively cold temperatures are something to keep an eye on for the teams. It can cause problems warming up the tyres, which can be a disadvantage for
Lewis Hamilton,
Valtteri Bottas and
Max Verstappen. All three of them start on the medium tyre, which is more difficult to warm up.
