Just one week after the inaugural GP of the 2026 season in Australia, Formula 1 will return to the track this weekend in Shanghai for the Chinese GP. Unlike Melbourne, the upcoming weekend will feature a major novelty, in this case the Sprint Race, which is why weather conditions will be even more important. The latter, however, should not hold any bad surprises.
According to the forecasts provided by accuweather.com, in fact, there will be no risk of rain on Friday and Saturday, with the Sprint and qualifying taking place under bright sunshine and with maximum temperatures around 17°. More ‘uncertain’, however, will be Sunday’s long race: in addition to a cloudy sky, the percentage of precipitation will also increase, although still below 30%.
