Following a cracking season-opening Austrian Grand Prix last weekend, the Formula 1 fraternity will stay at the Red Bull Ring for the Styrian Grand Prix on July 10-12.
2020 Styrian Grand Prix weather forecast (Weather Info Spielberg):
From the Formula 1 teams’ point of view, different weather conditions can result in very different races, and Formula 1 teams adapt their strategy accordingly, for example using different tyres in wet conditions, and taking account of cross winds which can cause stability problems at high speeds. It is always well worth checking the weather before any grand prix as it can often throw a curve ball into the mix, especilly given the fact that this time weather conditions in Spielberg look uncertain, at least for Saturday and Sunday. The temperature for race day is expected to be around 20-21 degrees, while according to the latest forecast, there is a high chance of rain for Sunday morning, which may also appear in the afternoon. Qualifying may also take place in wet conditions, as a couple of showers and a thunderstorm will be around the track. The free practice sessions on Friday will most likely take place in sunny and warm conditions, but temperatures are expected to drop on Saturday and Sunday, which means the data from Friday may not turn out to be very relevant for teams.
