An exciting race in Northern Italy – who would have expected Fernando Alonso to drop out of the race for the first time since the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix? As UBIMET’s meteorologists had forecast, there were no surprises regarding the weather.
Monza, 8th September
2014 – Even though 13 is often considered to be an
unlucky number, the weather during the Grand Prix of Italy, held in the city on
the Lambro river, was anything but grey and dreary.
Over the past few days, UBIMET’s meteorologists
monitored the radar images at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza very closely. “The
weather already held out during Friday's two training sessions – as we had
known as early as Wednesday,” said meteorologist Steffen Dietz. After twelve
races, the UBIMET team and he know exactly what is important, when it comes to
delivering weather forecasts for Formula 1. “Before the first training, there
was a fairly thick cloud cover west of the track that brought some light rain
but then moved away soon.” F1 teams therefore had partly cloudy and – above all
– dry weather throughout Friday. Meanwhile, to the north of the city that is
home to about 122,000 people, a few showers formed in the humid and warm air that
was in place across the region.
Perfect weather as
Mercedes celebrated its first one-two since Spielberg
Saturday started partly cloudy with some middle
level cloudbanks. Conditions improved rapidly towards noon so the third
practice session was held in dry conditions that also continued throughout the
day. “We were sure that the few clouds that we saw move across our screens
would not interfere with the qualifying session,” add Dietz. “The thundery
showers that had formed to the north and east of Monza did not have any impact
on the race.”
There was bright sunshine, just a few clouds and
some light winds from the southeast when the Mercedes drivers Nico Rosberg and
Lewis Hamilton raced to the podium in the 53-lap Grand Prix.
