Current forecasts suꦛggest that temperatures could drop as low as 6°C / 43°F f𓄧or next weekend’s extravaganza, according to the team. That's just 1ºC above the coldest-ever grand prix.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix will begin on Saturday night in lꦍocal𒀰 time (that’s 6am Sunday morning in the UK).

There🌊fore the daytime desert heat🐷 will quickly turn into a chill, when the race starts.

The last time that Formula 1 visited Nevada, for the 1981 and 1982 Caesars Palace Grands Prix, the heat caused several driv💙ers to suffer with exhaustion.

This time around, the challenge will be completely different as F1 teams figure out a 🎐brand-new track surface amid the cold.

Mario Isola, Motorsport Director for Pirelli, said: “It is a♈ step into the unknown, for everybody I believe.

“Las Vegas will be c♏old, it’s a street circuit. We decided to use the three softest compounds in the range to try to generate grip. 

“I can imagine a lot of track ﷽evolution𝓀 and very low grip.

“But it's a big unknown. Fast track, long straights, high spee𝕴d and all conditions that are quite difficult to manage.”

What was the coldest-ever F1 grand prix?

The 1978 Canadian G𝄹rand Prix, held in Montreal in October, is officially the coldest-ever grand prix.

Temperatures plummeted t﷽o 5ºC / 41ºF amid snowy weather.

Drivers on the podium were wrapped in coats.

In 2020, the grands prix in Germany𓃲 and Turkey had temperatures of approximately 10°C /ꩵ 50°F.
