- FIA will issue a timing update Saturday afternoon, allowing a possible shift of the Miami Grand Prix start time to avoid the forecasted thunderstorm.
- Porsche Supercup faces cancellation, while the Formula 2 race is planned to be moved forward to free up track time for an earlier F1 start.
- Pierre Gasly warned that wet conditions will affect car performance, citing his recent shakedown at Silverstone.
Why it matters: F1’s broadcasters risk losing up to 30 minutes of live airtime, cutting ad inventory, while fans risk missing the race if it can’t start before the 7:52 p.m. sunset deadline.
