F1 Miami GP: Will the race time be moved? Get ready for chaos in Florida
Formula 1 makes a comeback this weekend with the 2026 Miami Grand Prix after a five-week hiatus. Weather forecast predicts sunshine and high temperatures for Friday and Saturday, but potential thunderstorms are looming for Sunday’s race. The race is set to start at 16:00 local time with a 65% chance of rain and thunderstorms expected during the event. The FIA has protocols in place regarding race suspension if lightning poses a threat to the safety of individuals at the circuit. Contingency plans are being discussed to ensure the event proceeds smoothly despite weather challenges, with a medium risk of a thunderstorm but more concern for heat hazards. While cancellations due to weather are rare in F1, past events such as the 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix have seen adjustments made to accommodate adverse weather conditions.
