Fan-favourite circuit Imola is back on the 2021 calendar and this weekend it hosts round two of the season – the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix – but what do the skies have in store for us?
Clear skies and light winds graced last year's two-day event that heralded the return of Formula 1 to Imola for the first time since 2006.
Back then, of course, Imola's race was the San Marino Grand Prix and it was there that Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher had a famous battle in 2005.
This year, there's a chance that it could rain on qualifying and race day (April 17/18) while temperatures remain cool on Friday and Saturday. Scroll down for the full forecast.
