Current forec🍌asts suggest that temperature꧒s could drop as low as 6°C / 43°F for next weekend’s extravaganza, according to the team. That's just 1ºC above the coldest-ever grand prix.

The Las Vegas Grand Pr🤪ix will begin on Saturday night in l🥀ocal time (that’s 6am Sunday morning in the UK).

Therefore the daytime desert heat will qu♛ickly turn into a chill, when the race starts.

The last time that Formuꦆla 1 visited Nevada, for the 1981 and 1982 Caesars Palace Grands Prix, 🅺the heat caused several drivers to suffer with exhaustion.

This tim🅺e around, the challenge will be completely different ꦗas F1 teams figure out a brand-new track surface amid the cold.

Mario Isola, Motorsport Director for Pirelli, said: “It is a s♓tep i🐻nto the unknown, for everybody I believe.

“Las Ve⛄gas will be cold, it’s a strꦅeet circuit. We decided to use the three softest compounds in the range to try to generate grip. 

“I can imagine a lot oꦚf track evolut♓ion and very low grip.

“But it's a big unknown. Fast track, long straights, high speed and all condition🍷s that a𝓀re quite difficult to manage.”

What was the coldest-ever F1 grand prix?

The 1978 Canadian Grand Prix, heldℱ in Montreal in October, i♌s officially the coldest-ever grand prix.

Temperatures plummeted to 5ºC / 41ºF amid snowy weatheꩵr.

Drivers on the podium were wrapped in coats.

In 2020, the grands prix in Germany and Turkey had temperatur▨es of approximately 10°C / 50°F.
