Severe Thunderstorms Threaten Miami Grand Prix on Sunday
Concerns have emerged regarding the potential cancellation of the Miami Grand Prix scheduled for Sunday due to severe weather forecasts. According to The Weather Channel, there is a 90% chance of thunderstorms throughout the day, which could significantly impact the race. Accuweather also predicts rain and thunderstorms that may affect the event. In contrast, F1's official website reports a lower 30% chance of rain but anticipates winds reaching up to 36 km/h (22 mph) alongside possible showers. The FIA has strict protocols for lightning near the circuit, which could lead to race suspension if conditions prevent the medical helicopter from operating. The Race Director may declare a 'Rain Hazard' if the risk of rain exceeds 40%, signaling low grip conditions.
