RacingNews365 forecasts a south-easterly headwind into Turn 1 at the upcoming United States Grand Prix in Austin, which could let drivers brake later and attempt an overtake.

The outlet expects dry conditions, with temperatures in the high 20s Celsius and possibly into the low 30s on Saturday. Some leading-edge cloud may drift towards Austin, but the main rain cells are expected to stay away.

At Turn 12, the other major overtaking point at the end of the back straight, the forecast calls for a left-to-right crosswind through the braking zone.
