Starting Friday qualifying & sprint an hour earlier would be wiser to avoid the risk of getting unnecessarily tight with the sunset times in case of lengthy delays.

@keithcollantine – this is a really useful piece for every race, unfortunately by race weekend it is completely buried – any chance of making it a pinned post until the race completes?

Disappointed I’ve missed most of Sprint Quali cos these times weren’t updated. And yeah I reloaded the page late last night just to be sure.

I also missed it. Did the start time change?
I can’t see any mention of the start time changing so it’s pretty confusing
