The Eifel Grand Prix at Nurburgring would be a tough one since the F1 drivers managed to get only one hour of practise session to prepare themselves and the team for the grand race.
This means that the data that the teams get for analyses to ensure a strong strategy is minimal and the tyres seem to be haunting the teams since it would be tricky to manage them in the cold weather.
Valtteri Bottas believes that there were uncertainties for everyone regarding the race due to the weather conditions.
"I think there are many unknowns for every team with their lack of running," he said.
"There's not much data, apart from winter testing in these kind of temperatures. So I think when you're going to have to change the compound during the race from soft, it's going to be unknown how it handles."
Formula one team Renault's Esteban Ocon is one driver who will be racing without having done a single lap on the medium compound tyre which needs to be used in the race.

"I think we're jumping a bit in to the unknown," he said. "Unfortunately we did run only the soft tyres on my side, so I don't really know what to expect in terms of when we're going to change compound and how the car is going to behave, but the struggle is going to be for everyone."
The cold temperatures have made it difficult for drivers to get the tyres working up-to their maximum potential, and there is an increased chance of tyre blistering which could mean understeer making it difficult for the drivers to make progress.
"I think the usual effects from the track getting colder is the wear usually," said Lewis Hamilton.
"The front tyres usually suffer a little bit more, and we generally have a little bit more understeer potentially.
"If there are safety cars, restarting our tyres is going to be a struggle that's for sure. But we're all in the same boat. I don't really know how far the tyres will go but obviously when it gets a bit colder, generally you can go a little bit further as they work in a slightly different range."
Ferrari sporting director Laurent Mekies talks about the Eifel Grand Prix , "I think there will be surprises because we didn't have that chance to do the long runs. So that, plus the fact that the tyre life and performance is an unknown will make a good challenge in terms of how fast teams will be able to read the race in the opening laps and to adapt to whatever is going to be thrown at us.
"I think we will give a good race for you guys and it's probably good fun for everybody to get a bit less perfection."
