The on-track action at this weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix gets underway TODAY (Thursday, November 20), with the first two of three practice sessions set to take place before the competitive outings begin on Friday.
Thanks to Vegas hosting a night race, this year's event possesses the quirk of being the only grand prix on the 2025 calendar to take place in local time on a Saturday.
As such, every day in the run up to the main event is also a day earlier than viewers around the globe may be expecting.
We know just how confusing it can be working out what day and time the F1 sessions get underway in Vegas for fans outside of the US - which is where we come in!
This weekend will not be one to miss as reigning champion Max Verstappen could be ruled out of the title race entirely if he fails to pick up nine or more points more than standings leader Lando Norris.
Here is how and when to tune in as the first sessions kick off at the Las Vegas GP.
