The Miami Grand Prix has adjusted its start time to 1pm local time due to severe weather concerns. The race will now begin three hours earlier than originally scheduled.
The race was set to start at 4pm, but heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast for Sunday afternoon. The decision was made following discussions between the FIA, F1, and the Miami promoter.
This change is significant as the Miami GP has a deal to run every year until at least 2041. The event has been held annually since 2022.
Key facts:
- The new start time is now at 1300.
- The original start time was 1600.
- The MSC Yacht Club at the Miami GP offers a ticket option priced at $95,000 for access for 20 people.
The Miami GP charged $500 for race-day general admission passes during its inaugural event in 2022. The temporary structure of the MSC Yacht Club rises over five levels and includes several swimming pools.
Katharina Nowak expressed excitement about developing the marina into something unique for fans. The adjustments reflect ongoing efforts to enhance hospitality and ensure safety amid changing weather conditions.
