18:37, 11 Feb 2022

The FIA announced Friday night what time all Grands Prix will start in 2022. Most of the races will start at the same time as last season.

The International Motorsport Association is sticking to starting on the whole hours, just as it did last season. Between 2018 and 2020, starts were always made ten minutes after the full hour, but the return to starting when the big hand hits twelve apparently pleased Formula 1 last season.

The lights will go out for the first time this season, at the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 20, at 15:00 GMT. Only twice will you have to set your alarm clock particularly early, during the GP's in Australia (April 10) and Japan (October 9).
