Formula 1 heads to Imola for the fourth race of the 2022 season as the drivers get set to go racing at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. But what will the weather be like for the first European race, and first Sprint, of the season?
Last season’s race saw the drivers start on intermediate tires after a heavy downpour of rain before lights out, with Fernando Alonso hitting the wall on his way to the grid – forcing him into a quick front wing change before the race started.
This year’s forecast shows that cloudy weather and rain are expected to meet the drivers on Friday – while higher temperatures and sunnier spells are anticipated to grace Saturday and Sunday.
