The start times for Formula 1’s record-breaking 2023 calendar have been revealed, with the confirmed schedule featuring a Friday qualifying and a 10pm Saturday night race for the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.

F1’s calendar for next year is set to feature 23 races – one more than the sport has ever hosted before – while there are still conversations ongoing for replacing the Chinese GP, which was due for April 16 but has been cancelled.

In the meantime, the FIA has formally confirmed the start times for all sessions.

Notable timings include the Miami GP being a 8.30pm race start for UK audiences and another US race, the Las Vegas GP, taking place locally on a Saturday night along the famous strip.
