Saturday, Practice 2 and Sprint Race
Conditions on Saturday should improve, with the drivers set to witness a bit of sunlight albeit with clouds hovering over the circuit. The temperature around the circuit will be warmer with the day witnessing a high of 22 degrees Celsius and a low of 12 degrees Celsius.
