Rain has been the major thing that has affected races this year, but with F1 moving to the middle-east with Abu Dhabi being the venue in the spotlight, the wind is expected to play a major role.

Going day by day, Friday is expected to have the best conditions with temperatures swirling around the 31 degrees mark during FP1 which will further drop down to 28 degrees during FP2.

Moreover, the wind will blow across the circuit at the speed of 15 mph during FP1 and will slow down to a mere 11 mph in the evening. The chances of rain are zero percent on Friday but the humidity levels will go up to 62 percent as the lights would get turned on at the circuit.
