10 minutes to go
No sign of rain just yet, so it'll likely be a dry start - and then we'll see where we go from there.
Will the thunder disrupt proceedings, or will it hold off for the next two hours? Let's find out.
30 minutes to go...
The race will start at 1pm local time, or 6pm UK, or (insert number here) in all other timezones.
So, in half an hour. Antonelli vs Verstappen will line up on the front row - both drivers who haven't enjoyed good starts this year, ahead of Leclerc and Norris, who have.
The cars will start heading out to the grid shortly, once the teams have completed their pre-flight checks and/or recon laps.
We don't know a) whether it'll rain, and b) whether anyone has used the new Rain Hazard regulations to tinker with set-up.
It's currently dry as it stands, just cloudy.

Why F1 has moved times
Per US law, outdoor workers and activities must be halted if thunderstorms are recorded within 10 miles. As such, F1 may have to throw the red flag if this is indeed the case.
Thunderstorms were forecast for the late afternoon; thus, F1 has moved the race forward by three hours to avoid the worst of the weather.
