6am UK time Sunday morning, can't decide whether to get up at 5 or just stay up all night.
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
This is exactly me. Haha.
Why you talking to yourself, bud?
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
Same situation as Japan and Australia GPs really. I always opt to wake up early
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
Rather lv than another middle eastern race.
I am always up for drama! Like in 2020, when they all went to Australia, despite knowing, that it is a bad idea. Then covid hit.
