Temperatures have been significantly low in Las Vegas throughout the Grand Prix weekend, posing challenges for drivers struggling with tire temperatures and graining. The race is taking place under chilly conditions, although daytime temperatures of around 22 degrees in late November still offer some warmth.

It is anticipated that temperatures during the race will hover around 14 degrees Celsius, possibly cooling a bit further if the clouds thin out slightly. Rain is not in the forecast, with a moderate south wind prevailing. Managing tire temperatures will be critical, as they react differently in warmer conditions. The cold weather has been a key topic of discussion among F1 drivers during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, impacting their tire performance and heating strategies.
