Miami F1 GP: 1 p.m. Start, New Teams, Rule Changes

The 2026 Miami Grand Prix starts at 1 p.m. after a rain‑induced time change, airing on Apple TV. Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli leads the grid from pole, followed by Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. The race is the first after midseason rule tweaks that have sharpened on‑track competition, and it features the debut of new teams Cadillac, using a Ferrari engine, and Audi, which has acquired Sauber and built its own engine. Audi’s Allan McNish serves as racing director, while Nico Hulkenberg qualified 11th for the team. michezonews.co.za
