Formula 1: São Paulo Grand Prix Start Time Moved Up 90 Minutes Due to Weather Forecast
Formula 1's São Paulo Grand Prix has been moved up 90 minutes due to weather concerns.
The race will now start at 12:00pm local time (3:00pm GMT) on Sunday, November 13.
The decision was made after consultation with the FIA and the local weather authorities. The forecast for Sunday is for heavy rain, and the move up in start time is expected to give the teams more time to complete the race before the weather deteriorates.
The São Paulo Grand Prix is the penultimate race of the 2022 Formula 1 season. Max Verstappen has already won the Drivers' Championship but the race will likely still decide the Constructors' Championship.
What are the implications of the start time change?
The start time change will have a number of implications for the race:
* The race will be shorter. The original race distance was 71 laps, but it is now expected to be around 60 laps. * The teams will have less time to prepare for the race. The new start time means that the teams will have less time to make any final adjustments to their cars. * The drivers will have to be more cautious in the wet conditions. The wet conditions will make it more difficult for the drivers to control their cars, and they will have to be careful not to make any mistakes.What are the chances of the race being cancelled?
The chances of the race being cancelled are still relatively low, but they have increased due to the weather forecast. If the weather is too severe, the FIA may decide to cancel the race. However, it is more likely that the race will be delayed or shortened, rather than cancelled outright.
What should fans do if the race is cancelled?
If the race is cancelled, fans should check the official Formula 1 website for updates. The FIA will make a decision about whether or not the race will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
