You may have read online this week that it could be pretty chilly this weekend at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix – but just how cold will it get?

Well, it’s certainly cold enough to pack your big coat (as modelled by Alex), but Carlos’ choice of a bomber jacket should more than suffice once the weekend rolls around.

The mercury should rise a touch from what we’ve experienced on media day here in Shanghai, but it will still be much cooler temperatures than we’ve had in both Bahrain and Australia so far this year.

Alex was fully wrapped up on Thursday at the Shanghai International Circuit
