What this start time means where you are
Where the race lands for most readers: 08:00 on Sunday in the eastern US, an early-morning start; 01:00 on Monday in New Zealand, an overnight start; and 13:00 on Sunday in the UK, an afternoon start.
At 13:00 UK time, 6 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 16:30 on Friday and closing with the race at 20:00 on Sunday, all circuit-local. It is a sprint weekend, so there is only one hour of practice before the timetable turns competitive: qualifying for the sprint runs on Friday, the sprint and qualifying for the grand prix share Saturday, and both races count for points.
Round 17 of 23, back-to-back with the Bahrain Grand Prix the weekend before and 14 days before the United States Grand Prix.
