Let’s take a look at the latest weather forecast for the second round of the 2023 Formula 1 championship, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and how the Jeddah Formula 1 race weekend could be impacted by the weather conditions:
The 2023 Formula 1 championship got underway in at the Bahrain International Circuit two weeks ago with a disappointing overall result for Scuderia Ferrari, as Charles Leclerc had to retire from the race due to a technical failure, while his Maranello teammate Carlos Sainz had to settle for a place outside the podium, on a weekend in which Red Bull completely dominating the Bahrain event.
Two weeks ago, the field had to contend with gusty winds and highs in the twenties, and now conditions seem set to be similar for the second round of the 2023 Formula One season, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Jeddah does not traditionally see much rain, so it is no surprise that the forecast for the second event of the F1 campaign is for scorching hot temperatures, accompanied by the potential for more wind as well. The sun will have set by the time the lights go out on Sunday, but it could still be roasting hot when the race starts at the Jeddah Corniche circuit.
