Formula 1 heads to Mexico City for the next stop on the 2025 calendar. The title race is finely poised, but could the weather conditions influence the outcome? Here is the weather forecast for the race weekend.

The Mexican Grand Prix, next on the 2025 F1 calendar, sees the drivers’ title fight closely contested between Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen, with only 40 points separating the trio.

However, could the weather play a part in the results recorded by the respective teams this weekend? Here is what the predictions for the Grand Prix weekend look like.
