The Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix faces a possible change in its start time due to adverse weather forecasts. Skies with a chance of storms and heavy rain are expected for Sunday, and the FIA is assessing the situation to determine if it is necessary to adjust the race schedule.
Initially, the GP was scheduled to start at 16:00 local time. However, after Saturday’s qualifying session, two meetings will be held to examine the best options. The first will review the latest weather forecasts, followed by a broader meeting with all involved parties.
In addition to the F1 GP, the event’s schedule includes Formula 2 races, which have been included due to the cancellation of tests in other competitions. Despite the complexity of the schedule, the priority is to ensure that the F1 race can take place, and if necessary, adjustments will be made with the F2 category or the Porsche Cup.
One of the main challenges is the unpredictability of weather conditions in Florida. If lightning is detected within eight miles of the circuit, the event will have to be suspended, forcing attendees to seek shelter, either at the Hard Rock Stadium or in other safe areas.
The current forecast reveals that the chance of precipitation will increase during Sunday afternoon as a cold front moves through the area, increasing the potential for widespread showers and thunderstorms. The FIA hopes to make a final decision in the coming hours to ensure that the race can be held under the best possible conditions.
