Bahrain F1 GP 2021 Weather Forecast: What’s the weather forecast of Sakhir this weekend

Bahrain F1 GP 2021 Weather Forecast: Rain in the desert happened in 2019 and 2020 while the F1 entourage stepped in, will it repeat?

The rain may not happen, but there are chances of the storm taking place during the weekend as predictions project strong winds on the Grand Prix days.

Formula 1 is set to organize its first Grand Prix from Friday onwards, and Bahrain is the hot destination this time. Last year, it gave two incredible races, where George Russell made his dramatic Mercedes appearance, while Sergio Perez captured his first win.

It also experienced the horrific Romain Grosjean’s crash; overall, the two Grand Prix in 2020 gave innumerable headlines and hectic days to the journalists.

Thus, fans anticipate a grand 2021 opening, with Lewis Hamilton already pumping Red Bull above his team during Thursday’s press conference.

While the wind is set to pick up, there will be scorching heat throughout the day, resulting in dry nights in the desert. How will the weekend fair out? That remains to be seen.
