2021 F1 United States GP Weather Report
The weather report for this week’s United States GP brings good news and bad news as well. Take a look at the weather report:
| Day | Highest | Lowest |
| Friday | Partly Cloudy, 31 °C | 19°C |

| Sunday | Scattered Rain, 31 °C | 21 °C |
The weather reports reveal that the practice day and qualifying day will be partly cloudy with only 20% chances of rain which comes in as a good news for the fans. Whereas, the race day is set to witness scattered rain which is not a huge problem as of now but it still poses threat of heavy rains. The fans can be optimistic about getting some Formula One action this weekend regardless.
The weather report as of now has not predicted heavy rains as of now so we should not miss out on the racing action, however, the actual weather can only be known come race weekend.
Can Max Verstappen extend his lead at the top?
The title race has not been as tight as this year’s in the recent past. Every race weekend is witnessing some sort of of change in the driver’s standings. Max Verstappen is currently leading the standings and has a six points cushion over Lewis Hamilton.
Verstappen finished second at the Turkish GP whereas Hamilton finished fifth which saw the Dutch driver regain the number one spot, in a race which saw Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas win.
Verstappen will try to do his best to stop the Mercedes driver from winning his eight world title at the end of this season. The upcoming United States GP will play a crucial role for both Hamilton and Verstappen as they both try to get ahead of each other with a victory this weekend.
If Hamilton manages to win the United States GP, he will mark his 101th career race win more than any racer ever in the history of the sport. The fans can sit back and certainly enjoy the title race between Hamilton and Verstappen as it comes down to the business end of the season.
