Miami Grand Prix to start 3 hours earlier

The Grand Prix was set to start at 16:00 local time, however with heavy rainstorms forecast for the area later in the day, the race will now start at 13:00 local time, 18:00 UK time. 

The Statement from Formula 1 read: "Following discussions between FIA, F1 and the Miami promoter, the decision has been taken to move the start of Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix to 13:00 local time in Miami due to the weather forecast that is expected to bring heavier rainstorms later in the afternoon close to the original planned race start time. This decision has been taken 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."

Kimi Antonelli will lead the pack away for the race from pole, with Max Verstappen and the fast starting Ferrari of Charles Leclerc just behind.
