European fans are experiencing an earlier start than usual this year for the Australian Grand Prix.
The 2024 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix will have an early start time for European fans, commencing at 05:00 CET/04:00 GMT. Despite staying at 15:00 local time in Melbourne, this year’s race will start earlier than last year. Previous complaints from drivers about the sunset hindering visibility led to red flags and race delays in the past. The race being held earlier this year means the Daylight Savings Time change has not occurred. Starting the race at 16:00 local time in Melbourne would have posed challenges with the sun low in the sky towards the end. Fans will need to wake up earlier to watch the race live, with clock changes happening after the Australian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen aims for a third consecutive win in the 2024 season, while Ferrari looks to challenge Red Bull.
