Of course, the drivers' championship is now wrapped up after Max Verstappen did enough to secure his fourth consecutive title in Vegas, but it is very much all to play for in the constructors' championship.

Heading to Qatar, McLaren maintain their lead at the top of the constructors' standings, but Ferrari and Red Bull will still hold hopes of a late charge. Ferrari are currently 24 points behind their papaya rivals, with Red Bull further back and trailing the constructors' leaders by 53 points at this stage.

With that said, after a chilly weekend in Las Vegas, how is the weather looking in Qatar?

Qatar Grand Prix weather forecast

Friday, November 29: FP1 & Sprint Qualifying

Whilst cold temperatures wreaked havoc with tyre grip in Las Vegas this past weekend, that does not look like it will be an issue heading to Qatar.

With FP1 kicking off on Friday at 4:30 pm local time, temperatures in Lusail are expected to be around the 22 degrees Celsius mark.

That will drop slightly when sprint qualifying gets underway later in the evening at 8:30 pm, with temperatures then expected to be approximately 19 degrees Celsius.

There is currently a zero per cent chance of rain in the city on Friday, but strong winds could prove to be a problem for drivers, with 17mph wind speeds forecast.

Saturday, November 30: Sprint & Qualifying

For Saturday's sprint race and grand prix qualifying, the track conditions are set to remain fairly similar, with speeds and temperatures both remaining high.

The sprint is set to get underway at 5 pm local time and qualifying at 9 pm local time, and temperatures will not drop below 20 degrees Celsius in either session.

Once again, the threat of rain is almost non-existent, with a zero per cent chance of precipitation.

Sunday, December 1: Race

Yet again on Sunday, temperatures are expected to remain in a very similar range.

That means that when the lights go out at 7 pm local time at the Lusail International Circuit, temperatures are predicted to be around the 21 degrees Celsius mark.

No rain is expected throughout the duration of Sunday's race, while wind speeds will drop, handing easier conditions to the drivers for the gruelling race.
