Formula 1 moves on to the Yas Marina Circuit this weekend for the season-closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – but what kind of weather conditions are set to greet the drivers and their teams?
As is almost always the case in the United Arab Emirates, last year’s event took place in dry and hot conditions, with air temperatures remaining pleasant throughout the twilight sessions.
Similarly warm weather is expected this time out, but light-to-moderate winds might give drivers a little bit more to think about as the campaign comes to a close.
Scroll down for a more detailed look at the forecast for the weekend.
