F1 drivers set for another year of weather chaos at the Brazilian GP

Round 21 of the 2025 F1 season sees the paddock descend on Interlagos, which hosts the Brazilian Grand Prix.

A favourite track among the fans and drivers, it offers a great challenge with a mix of medium and low-speed corners.

However, the unpredictable weather that often bears its teeth is once again set to be a factor for the drivers.

12 months ago, wet weather chaos saw qualifying for the grand prix postponed until Sunday morning, just several hours before the race.

Qualifying and the race were held in very wet conditions, resulting in crashes for a handful of drivers.

The upcoming race weekend will also mark the second-to-last use of the sprint format this year, with Friday seeing just one practice session and sprint qualifying.

According to the FIA's forecast, Friday morning is set to be dry before possible thundery showers in the afternoon to evening. Temperatures are set to linger between 25°C and 28°C, with the risk of rain at 40%.

Saturday, however, is set to be a much wetter affair. The FIA has outlined there is a high chance of thundery showers in the morning, which may decrease slightly in the afternoon. 

However, according to the forecast, the sprint race and qualifying look set to be held in wet conditions, with temperatures sitting between 24°C and 26°C. Gusts of 75 km/h are also possible, creating an added challenge for the drivers.

The grand prix on Sunday is likely to be held in dry conditions, although it will be significantly cooler than the previous days, with a temperature of 18°C expected for the race.

The threat of rain is at 20% for the grand prix, with the FIA seeing only a slight chance for one light shower to sprinkle the track during the race.
