F1 Miami Grand Prix 2025 could be suspended due to lightning risk; FIA reveals protocol

On May 4, 2025, the FIA announced that there is a potential for the Miami race at the Miami International Autodrome to be halted due to lightning threats.
The possibility of suspension arises from severe weather forecasts predicting thunderstorms near the race start and follows local public safety standards.
If the race is suspended, FIA protocols require all cars to return to the pit lane and garages, while team members and staff must remain safely stationed in designated areas.
The suspension procedures include stopping cars in the fast lane per Article 57, issuing a restart order no less than 18 minutes before resumption, and giving at least a 10-minute warning.
These measures follow previous disruptions from heavy rain and crashes during the preceding sprint and support races, highlighting the FIA's proactive safety approach.
