The forecast is holding true for this weekend to have some great weather. We will likely see sunny skies with occasional wind gusts along with moderate temperatures. Sunday poses a slightly cloudier and windier day than Saturday as northerly winds pick up in the Caspian Sea. A low pressure to the east of the area is tightening the pressure gradient and therefore causing increased winds. This is the main threat to the teams as Baku is challenging enough as it is.
Teams will have to make a decision on whether they want to prepare their cars for straight-away's or cornering on this track, so the high wind speeds will not make it ideal. This will be the warmest race since week 1 though, so we will likely see these cars having more grip around the track than the last few weeks. Overall, we are expecting nice weather for another fantastic Formula 1 race! A metric graphic is displayed below...
