Miami Grand Prix Race Start Brought Forward Three Hours Over Storm Threat

The Miami Grand Prix scheduled for Sunday has been moved forward by three hours due to the risk of thunderstorms in the Florida area. Race officials confirmed the start time would shift to 18:00 BST to avoid the worst of the forecast severe weather. The decision prioritises competitor and spectator safety amid predictions of stormy conditions that could have disrupted the afternoon schedule. European viewers will benefit from the earlier start time, catching the action in the evening rather than late night. Organisers worked closely with meteorological teams throughout Saturday to monitor conditions and make the call in good time. Thunderstorm warnings are common during the Florida spring months, and race officials have established protocols for such scenarios in previous seasons. Drivers will now complete their preparations on a revised timeline as the grid prepares for what is anticipated to be a closely contested event around the Miami International Autodrome.
