The penultimate round of the season comes from the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar this weekend, and is a Sprint event to boot. But what kind of weather awaits the drivers and teams after a chilly weekend in Las Vegas?
It was scorching hot last year in Qatar, when Max Verstappen took the win ahead of Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri – the latter taking victory in the Sprint.
It looks set to be another warm one this year, with temperatures in the twenties throughout the weekend.
