F1 drivers facing reduced Japanese GP threat after sudden change
racingnews365.com • • sports
Key Points:
- F1 drivers are expected to face a reduced risk of wet-weather conditions during the 2026 car debut at this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.
- Earlier forecasts predicted rain showers on Saturday afternoon, but the likelihood of a dry weekend has increased as a major storm system moves away from Japan.
- Some scattered showers may still occur in southern Japan, including the Mie Prefecture where Suzuka is located, but overall rain chances have diminished.
- Temperatures are forecasted to be just below 20°C with southerly winds, potentially creating a headwind into Turn 1 and affecting the run from the second Degner corner to the hairpin.
