Miami Grand Prix start time moved forward for storm risk

sportsMay 3, 202633199

Following discussions between the FIA, F1 and the Miami promoter, organisers moved Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix start forward three hours to 13:00 local time. The change aims to avoid forecast thunderstorms expected later in the afternoon that could delay or interrupt the race. The earlier start shortens the day’s schedule for support sessions and forces adjustments to team operations and broadcaster timetables. Moving the race forward reduces the likelihood of a weather-caused stoppage and increases the chance the full-distance race finishes safely on schedule.
