#LasVegasGP #F1 #Formula1 Every now and then, F1 organisers throw in a surprise, and we usually get a very unusual Grand Prix. And that’s likely to be true for the first race at the new Las Vegas circuit. It’s fast, it’s a street circuit, and the race starts at 10pm local time. But the biggest challenge for the teams is that at that time, it’s going to be cold… really cold. So why is the drastically colder than usual temperature a problem? What will the teams and drivers do about it? Will we see an incredibly chaotic race? Formula One cars don’t really perform well in cold temperatures. Now, this is counter-intuitive. You might notice that all the fastest laps at your local kart track were set in the afternoon or evening. But in F1, power units and particularly tyres are simply not designed to perform when temperatures are below about 15 degrees Celsius. And you might ask, why? Well, the vast majority of the season sits within a pretty tight temperature range, somewhere in the 20-28 degrees Celsius range, and it has been that way for a while now. ????
