P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The 70-lap race in Montreal today will begin two hours later than it has in previous years due to a major potential scheduling clash.
The F1 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal will have a new start time today, two hours later than usual, to avoid clashing with the Indy500 race.
In previous years, the race started at 2pm local time, but this year it will begin at 4pm local time.
The scheduling change was made as part of efforts to prevent a major clash in 2026 and promote sustainability.
The move also allows F1 teams to travel directly to Montreal from the Miami Grand Prix.
As a result of the shift, the Monaco Grand Prix has been rescheduled to early June in 2026.
