Why is the race starting so late? Officials explained that’s it’s all about the European TV audience. A 1:00 a.m. ET race start allows fans in London and much of Europe to enjoy an early morning start, while F1 fans in Asia will have perhaps the best viewing window. The on-site experience of American fans is, unfortunately, a secondary concern.

Here’s the starting lineup for Sunday’s race:

  1. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
  2. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
  3. George Russell (Mercedes)
