The 2026 Miami Grand Prix starts at 1 p.m., a change from the original 4 p.m. slot because of expected heavy rain. Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes leads the grid from pole, followed by Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. The event is the first after midseason rule tweaks that have spurred closer racing, and it marks the debut of new entries Cadillac (using a Ferrari engine) and Audi (with its own power unit). Audi’s Allan McNish has taken the role of racing director, making this his first Grand Prix in the position. fish-roadgame.com
