“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,” stated officials. This adjustment reflects the event’s commitment to ensuring a successful experience for all involved.
The fifth edition of the Miami Grand Prix will now commence three hours earlier than initially scheduled. Originally set for 16:00, this change highlights how unpredictable weather can impact even well-planned events. The Miami Grand Prix, which first took place in 2022, has quickly become a staple in the Formula 1 calendar, drawing attention from racing fans and celebrities alike.
That context matters because the Miami Grand Prix has established itself as one of the sport’s can’t-miss spectacles, featuring not only high-speed racing but also an array of entertainment options. Attendees can enjoy a music festival and diverse food experiences at this vibrant venue located near the iconic Hard Rock Stadium.
In fact, last year, the Miami GP won the 2025 Promoter of the Year award at the Autosport Awards. It’s evident that organizers are not just focused on racing; they aim to create a comprehensive experience for fans.
“It’s a little bit of a joint collaboration from everyone that’s hosting the celebrities,” remarked Katharina Nowak, emphasizing the teamwork behind this extravagant event. The vision was clear from the beginning: create a campus where fans can explore every aspect of motorsports.
The Miami Grand Prix has secured a 10-year contract extension with F1, ensuring that this thrilling event will continue at least through 2041. With more on-track action than ever before expected for this year’s race, anticipation continues to build.
