What this start time means where you are
Where the race lands for most readers: 15:00 on Sunday in the eastern US, an afternoon start; 09:00 on Monday in New Zealand, a morning start; and 20:00 on Sunday in the UK, an evening start.
At 20:00 UK time, 19 rounds of the 2026 season start earlier in the day.
The race runs on Sunday at the circuit, but not everywhere — it falls on a different calendar day in New Zealand (Monday).
5 sessions across the weekend, opening with FP1 at 12:30 on Friday and closing with the race at 14:00 on Sunday, all circuit-local.
Round 19 of 23, the middle leg of a triple-header, with the United States Grand Prix the weekend before and the São Paulo Grand Prix the weekend after.
