GP Miami weather: 40% risk of rain at the start, rising to 60% once the race is underway

The weather forecast for the Miami GP The FIA ​​has decided to bring forward the start of the 2026 Miami GP to 1pm local time, 7pm in Italy. The race was supposed to start at 4pm in Florida when in Europe it would have been 10pm, but at that time the risk of rain was 95%. However, the three-hour advance does not allow us to completely avoid the risk of rain also because in reality it is highly probable that the track will be humid even without precipitation at the start given that rain is also expected in the morning. Consulting various weather portals including accuweather.com and the weather channel shows that the probability of rain for the start of the GP stands at 40%, but even if the riders were able to mount slicks at the start it is very likely that it will be necessary to resort to intermediate or extreme wet tires during the race in progress. At 2pm local time, in fact, the risk of rain rises to 60%. It therefore promises to be a GP to be followed and with an uncertain outcome until the checkered flag on a track where the margins of error are really low given that it is raced on a predominantly city circuit, especially in the second sector area where the escape spaces are close to zero.
