McLaren celebrates legacy with Miami street show ahead of first race since last month’s Japanese GP

There’s precedent for such a schedule change. The 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix was rescheduled for an earlier start to avoid heavy storms forecast for later in the day.

Last year’s Miami sprint race was delayed by heavy rain and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc crashed his car during a pre-race installation lap in worsening conditions.

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri warned that few of the drivers had any experience driving this year’s new era hybrid cars in wet conditions.

“I don’t think many of us have driven these cars in the rain before,” he said. “Maybe a couple of people did in Barcelona at the shakedown, but I think they’re going to be challenging cars to drive in the rain just because of some of the quirks that they have.

“And, obviously, normally if it rains in Miami — it does it properly! So we’ll have to wait and see. It’ll be interesting one way or another.”
