United States GP Sunday weather forecast<\/p>\n

Sunday is expected to be warm and predominantly dry in Austin for the United States Grand Prix.\u00a0Temperatures should sit around 27-29C at the 3:00pm local start, with partly cloudy skies and periods of sunshine. Rain is not currently expected.<\/p>\n

Winds should remain light to moderate at around 10-15km\/h, meaning the warmer conditions may have a greater impact than the wind. Tyre degradation and thermal management could therefore play an important role over the 56-lap race.<\/p>\n
