Max Verstappen will start the Miami Grand Prix from pole position, with Charles Leclerc set to line-up alongside the Dutchman. It marks the same front row as the start of the sprint race, which was won by Verstappen on Saturday. The grand prix will start at 22:00 CET, but what weather conditions should the drivers expect in Miami for the race?
The weekend so far has been dry with hot conditions hitting the Miami track on Friday and Saturday. Not much is set to change on Sunday for the race, with the temperature expected to sit at 28 degrees Celcius when the lights go out to signal the start. The wind is mostly moderate and is blowing from an easterly direction, but overall conditions will be hot for the attending spectators. The UV index in Miami on Sunday is a very high 11, which can burn unprotected skin within 10 minutes. With the sun beating down on the track, this is set to raise the track temperature to well over 50 degrees Celcius, which could have an impact on their performance across the long stints during the race.
