- F1's governing body, the FIA, is closely monitoring weather forecasts for Sunday's Miami Grand Prix due to predictions of heavy thunderstorms.
- While Friday and Saturday are expected to be sunny, Sunday's forecast indicates a risk of lightning and severe weather in the Miami Gardens area.
- The race, scheduled for 4pm local time (9pm BST), could be moved forward by a few hours if lightning is a significant threat, as per the FIA's contingency plan.
- US law mandates the halt of any outdoor public event and evacuation of spectators if a thunderstorm approaches, adding complexity to the situation.
- An FIA spokesperson confirmed they have a 'contingency plan' in place to minimise disruption, similar to measures taken last year in Miami.
