The Las Vegas Grand Prix is right around the corner, and the street circuit will get its second outing in as many years, with Red Bull looking to continue their 100% record.

Anticipation is high, as Max Verstappen will have to bring his a-game if he wants to keep the persistently annoying Lando Norris off his tail lights.

Ahead of the race, we take a look at what temperatures the drivers can expect around the track.

Will it rain at the Las Vegas GP?

As we saw in last year’s race, the sessions are set to be held in low-temperature conditions given the early start times, with the air sitting at around 11°C / 51.8°F during the practice sessions that take place on Thursday evening/night.
