Formula 1 has moved the start time of Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix forward by three hours because of forecasts of heavy thunderstorms and rain.
F1’s race was due to start at 4 p.m. ET but that has now been brought forward to 1 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. BST.
The decision follows talks between F1, the governing FIA and the Miami promoter on Saturday night, and a statement read that it was “to ensure the least amount of disruption to the race, and to ensure the maximum possible window to complete the Grand Prix in the best conditions and to prioritise the safety of drivers, fans, teams and staff.”
