Fears have arisen that the Las Vegas Grand Prix may threaten the all-time record for the F1 race with lowest temperature.
According to the Williams F1 team, current forecasts predict temperatures as low as 6°C / 43°F for the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix, which is just 1ºC above the coldest-ever grand prix. The race will begin on Saturday night in local time, which means the daytime desert heat will quickly turn into a chilly atmosphere. The last time Formula 1 visited Nevada, the heat caused drivers to suffer from exhaustion, but this time the challenge will be dealing with a brand-new track surface in cold conditions. Mario Isola, Motorsport Director for Pirelli, believes that Las Vegas will be cold and the lack of grip on the track will make it quite difficult to manage. The coldest-ever grand prix on record was the 1978 Canadian Grand Prix held in Montreal, where temperatures dropped to 5ºC / 41ºF amid snowy weather, while recent grands prix in Germany and Turkey had temperatures around 10°C / 50°F.
