The teams will discuss the rescheduling of the race start time in Miami.
After the qualification, the Miami Grand Prix will have a meeting involving the FIA, FOM, and team representatives, where the change of the final day schedule of the race weekend and the rescheduling of the Formula 1 race start time will be discussed.
The weather forecast for Sunday in Miami promises heavy rain and thunderstorms, with possible lightning and hail. The National Weather Service of the USA recommends suspending any sporting events if thunder and lightning are observed within a 15-kilometer radius. In such cases, it is necessary to wait at least 30 minutes from the last lightning strike before resuming the competitions.
The start of the Miami Grand Prix is scheduled for 16:00 local time (23:00 MSK), and the forecast indicates that this time will coincide with the peak of bad weather. Rain and thunderstorms are expected to begin at 14:00 local time, but it will be dry, albeit cloudy, before that.
The FIA is considering the option of moving the start of the Formula 1 race to an earlier time to complete it before the weather worsens. However, the fact that three support races, including Formula 2, are scheduled before Formula 1 on Sunday adds complications, although it is clear that priority will be given to Formula 1.
In any case, a decision will be made on Sunday night according to Moscow time.
