Max is also used to low temps, as you know going back to his kart training sometimes in ice and snow, while the rest them were tucked up in warm beds with the karts put away for winter.
His only problem will be not to be distracted too much by the tv screens which will no doubt be placed around the circuit that he likes to glance at from time to time 'muti tasking seing what's going on with the others to keep his mind sharp.

Looks like this year it's gonna be ± 10°C (50°F) at night (provisional weather forecast) with possibility of rain on Thursday and Friday.

Newly paved track surface = slippery, as the track needs rubber for a better grip. Add rain, chilly temps, cold tires and some high speed sections into the mix and you may behold some 'Saturday/Sunday Night Fever' dancing on a street track.

I assume that drivers will wear winter testing gear. Should temps drop to ± 4°C (39°F) like last year during the Nov 19 night, pushing to 300 km/h on a straight in an open car could be a little chilly. They can't dress like bikers in winter gear, no ?

I guess Alonso won't mind his race seat getting "hot" in Las Vegas as he encountered during the Qatar race:

Absolutely right !
MAX ran here in Belgium (Genk) in the middle of the winter with his kart !
The kart track was covered in snow and ice ....'

Just one kart was running at the track . And that was MAX !

Artemis's weather prediction looks promising with less colder temps than last year but 'still cold'.
Do you think the services will finish the track layout and surrounding set up on time?

My guess:
  • glitzy glamour of dazzling Las Vegas lights by night: entertainment circus;
  • FIA (Paris) accomodating European viewers to watch the race at 7am.

My prediction:
1 Ver
2 Per
3 Nor
4 Lec
5 Pia
6 Sai
7 Ric
8 Gas
9 Alo
10 Ham

RB is going to do great again, with all the straights I think Checo and Lando are going to be fighting. Ferrari is pretty fast on the straights, but I don't think the narrow track suits either driver's style. Alphatauri and Alpine looked fast last week. Aston Martin and Mercedes were slow on the straights.

What a boring track.

Extended forecast is rain on race day. I'd imagine there's no racing at nigh in the wet correct?

Merc are on the back foot and struggling with worn out and run out of tech sliding cars, señor Carlo is showing his Spanish b@lls putting pressure on Merc being just 20 points behind and just so long as Chas has a reliable starting car with a decent strat they can catch up, especially with an unhappy Russell who thinks he's being used as a BOT.
