JUST IN: F1 Italian GP Hit by Shock Weather Twist as FIA Declares Heat Hazard at M…See Details 

 The European F1 season is hitting its final stages as the Italian Grand Prix serves up some late summer action, summer indeed, especially going by the weather forecasts.

Monza is round 13 of the season, so while it’s the penultimate European race of the campaign (for now), there are still an additional 10 races after. So, with 250 points up for grabs, absolutely everything is all to play for.

This weekend is pivotal for the world championship, with leader Kimi Antonelli ready to take a grid penalty following a full engine change, leaving the door open to his rivals Lewis Hamilton and George Russell to capitalise in Monza.

But will the weather play a factor in how the weekend will shape up? The FIA have already declared a heat hazard, and here is a detailed look at how the weekend will shape up.

This is how the current forecast looks for Monza across the weekend at the Royal Park near Milan, which we will continue to update right up until the race.

Free practice begins at 12.30pm local time (11.30am UK time), and the midday heat in Monza will reach 30 degrees. There is a zero per cent chance of rain and a very light wind, which is unlikely to affect any handling.

Temperatures creep up three more degrees for second practice at 4pm (3pm UK time), which will hold until the evening. No rain is expected, although the light wind changes direction from flowing north westerly to south easterly.
