Who came up with these times? Even the FPs are pretty late for a lot of North and South America.

    I’ll watch this the next morning and I’m on the west coast where it’s only at 10pm

    I don’t understand this. The Eurocentric assholes are going to point to this race and say “America isn’t interested in F1” despite it being in the middle of the night. None of us are going to watch it because it’s at such a terrible time for us to save the Europeans.

      These times aren’t exactly wonderful for Europe either tho. I don’t know about you, but I’m not watching a race at 7 in the morning on a Sunday. I’ll just watch it when I wake up, same as some Americans will

        That’s every race for most of us in America. So forgive me if there’s 0 sympathy. We’re getting screwed over so it can be later in the morning for you.

          I’m not asking for your sympathy, I don’t mind. I’m merely stating that the time was not chosen for eurocentric reasons. It probably has to do with showing Vegas at night so it looks nicer and not interfering with the locals too much in terms of traffic.

            They could show Vegas at night 4-6 hours earlier. The only reason they’re not doing it that way is so it won’t be overnight for europe.

      This is almost breaking rule 1: “Be respectful to everyone; drivers, lemmings, redditors etc”.

      In the future please refrain from calling a part of the fan base assholes even if they might be (if they are just click the report button). We’d like to have a friendly community :)

        If we’re policing speech that much like they did in the old subreddit I’ll likely just no longer engage with the community.

        There are absolutely assholes who constantly mock anything American, and I’m going to continue to call them assholes for it. Every Reddit thread is full of them.
