What time does the Miami GP finish?

The Miami GP was scheduled to finish at approximately — about two hours after the start. F1 races run to the lesser of 305 km or two hours of racing, so most last around 1h45–2h of green-flag running; a red flag or repeated safety cars can push the finish later, and the FIA caps total race time at three hours (how long is an F1 race?). How many stops it takes to get there comes down to the soft, medium and hard tyre compounds and how fast they wear. In the UK and Ireland that is roughly , and on the US East Coast about . Treat it as a planning estimate — take the exact start time above and add roughly two hours.
