Miami Grand Prix weather: Thunderstorms predicted to hit for the Grand Prix

Saturday's sprint race saw a wet-to-dry race that caused all sorts of intrigue and chaos on track and in the pit lane, with the changing of conditions plus a safety car shaking up the entire grid as a result of the weather.

The race finished behind the safety car, and it was Lando Norris who was able to come through and take the sprint race win. However, Max Verstappen, after he ten-second time penalty for an unsafe release, turned his fortunes around with a fantastic pole position.

Track position is a massive advantage around the Miami International Autodrome, and especially with the current weather forecast in Florida, holding onto P1 could be a huge factor.

The Miami Grand Prix will get underway at 4pm local time (9pm BST), with the temperature expected to be at 28°C when the lights go out, with the track temperature expected to be at 46°C.

However, although the temperature may be high, thunderstorms may hit the Sunshine State, with a 40% chance of them occurring to change the complexion of the race in its entirety.

As the race goes on, the temperature will drop to 27°C, but the chance of more thunder, lightning and rain will increase to a 60% chance of it hitting the Hard Rock Stadium.

There is potential for the sun to also show itself and create another wet-to-dry session to bring yet more chaos to this weekend.

Humidity is expected to be at its highest across the weekend, starting at 65% and climbing to 70%. The wind, however, is expected to replicate its pattern for the previous two days, blowing North West to North North West at a speed of 5-15 KPH.
