      Half the year is that time for me as an american I recommend going to bed early-ish and waking up 30 before the race so you can catch Brundle’s grid walk

      Living in Asia, European races are typically 9pm starts, North/South American races are Monday morning around 4am.

      I typically have a nap before any race that starts after 9pm, otherwise I will fall asleep as my work means a 4:30am alarm due to starting just after 6.

      That’s how they normally are over here in the US (wonder why live viewership is down, that’s a big factor)

      I normally get up a few minutes before the formation lap and throw it on the TV from bed.

        Yeah, it’s a legacy thing. All the race starts were negotiated by Bernie for European times.

        Austin and Miami times are fine, I guess it’s just because it’s a street track and Vegas

    This race is truly at a horrific time for everyone. Europe gets a ridiculously early race and the US gets a race that’s so late at night it’s almost unwatchable for a lot of the country. It makes no sense other than chasing money.

    Las Vegas is a hell hole and nothing good should ever enter it. Nothing good ever happens there. This race should be canceled
