Effectively, the only difference from last season’s event is that the local qualifying start time is 16:00, while the race is 15:00 with Australia’s clock change occurring during the weekend, so 3+ hours before sunset for both sessions, & of course, Europe timings are unaffected.
I’m surprised about the article image choice not being from race start as usual.
