- With the European triple-header wrapping up, stable weather is a hot topic.

The 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, part of the European triple-header, is shaping up to be a race under the sun. With sunny skies predicted and temperatures climbing into the high 20s, it’s ideal for testing new regulations on front wing flexing. This consistent weather might give teams the steadiness they need to analyze the impact of these changes.
As the weekend begins, the first practice session on Friday will see drivers tackle the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya under bright sunshine. With temperatures forecasted to hit 30 degrees Celsius and a light breeze, rain is off the cards. This sets a stable stage for teams looking to understand the track and car performance.
Friday’s second practice session continues this theme, with temperatures inching up to 31C, and the weather staying clear and calm. With no wind or rain to worry about, drivers can focus entirely on refining their approach and setups.
Saturday doesn’t deviate much from this pattern. The final practice session before qualifying keeps the temperature slightly cooler at 29C, maintaining the sunny, cloudless skies. For qualifying, drivers can expect the thermometer to hover around 30C, with only gentle breezes and no clouds in sight. This consistent weather provides an excellent opportunity for teams to optimize their performance.
As the Grand Prix day dawns on Sunday, a few changes loom. Although temperatures stay between 29-30C, and the breeze remains slight, clouds are expected to gather. This shift presents a new challenge, however small: a less than 20% chance of rain could shake up strategies last minute.
In Barcelona, it’s a sunny spectacle at the Spanish Grand Prix, with only a whisper of rain on the horizon.
