The start times for the 2024 Formula 1 season have been revealed. The schedule for the record-breaking calendar has been confirmed, although fans will be left waiting for updates of the full sprint weekends and the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

This year is set to feature 24 races – one more than the previous year – with the return of the Chinese Grand Prix for the first time since 2019. The event had previously been postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before the grand prix was fully cancelled for the year and subsequently also 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The FIA has now announced the start times for most sessions on the 2024 calendar, whilst confirming: “Full Sprint weekends and Las Vegas timings will be announced in due course.”

Notably three races will take place on Saturday this year, including the Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas grands prix. This means that qualifying sessions will be moved to Friday and the first and second practice sessions will take place on Thursday.
