- The Miami Grand Prix start time has been brought forward by three hours to 13:00 local time (18:00 BST) due to forecasts of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
- The decision was made following discussions between Formula One bosses, the FIA, and race promoters to minimise disruption and ensure driver, team, and fan safety.
- The FIA had previously issued a rain hazard declaration, with over a 40 per cent chance of rain predicted for the original race time.
- Contingency plans are in place, including adherence to Florida law which mandates stopping events if lightning is detected within an eight-mile radius.
- Drivers anticipate challenges if the race is wet, as many have limited experience with the new generation of cars in such conditions.
