Formula 1 and the FIA will be considering radical wet weather solutions as part of a study to improve safety. With the latest generation of cars, drivers have noted that spray from tyres and the aerodynamics – which rely heavily on downforce generated from the floor – have reduced visibility in extremely wet conditions. This can be a key factor in determining whether it is safe enough to start a race or suspend sessions. As part of the study, the FIA says there could be a standard bodywork kit that is fitted to cars during "extreme wet" conditions, which stops the water spray from affecting visibility.

There have been dry and warm conditions throughout the Miami Grand Prix weekend so far, but the forecast for race day hints at a potential change. With thanks to our friends at WeerOnline.nl , the current weather forecast predicts a sunny start to Sunday before clouds gradually increase. The wind also looks set to pick up during the day. By the time that the race gets underway at 15:30 local time (20:30 BST), there will be alternate sunshine and clouds along with a moderate easterly wind. This brings with it the chance of an occasional shower passing over the Miami International Autodrome, but continuous rain is not expected. There is also the possibility of an entirely dry race, so the teams will need to keep a close eye on conditions as the 57-lap event unfolds. Temperatures look set to drop slightly in comparison to previous days but will still remain very warm, with a maximum of 28 degrees Celsius. Source: https://thefoxposts.com/miami-weat...
