Round 16 of the F1 championship sees the F1 paddock descend on the Monza circuit for the Italian Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri enters the weekend in the lead of the drivers' championship, having extended his margin to 34 points over Lando Norris following the latter's shock retirement last time out at Zandvoort.
The Dutch Grand Prix saw mixed weather conditions throughout the weekend, and it is expected to be a different story at Monza.
The opening day of on-track action will take place on Friday. The first two practice sessions are set to be dry and sunny, with temperatures ranging from 24 to 27 degrees Celsius.
Saturday morning marks the final practice outing, which will also take place in warm conditions, with temperatures hovering around the mid-20s until qualifying.
There may be a slight wind during qualifying, however its impact on the session will be minimal.
Race day on Sunday is forecast to be the warmest day of the grand prix weekend, with temperatures lifting to as high as 29 degrees Celsius.
This will also increase the track temperature and could have some impact on tyre management throughout the race.
