F1 in Melbourne: This is the timetable for the Australian Grand Prix!

The Australian Grand Prix is one for the early birds in Europe. The F1 drivers will start the Australian Grand Prix earlier this year compared to previous years due to its position in the calendar. Find out what time to switch on for this race weekend's sessions in Melbourne here.

The 2023 Australian Grand Prix was a triumph for Verstappen, who hopes to prolong his unbeaten 2024 status in Melbourne. In any case, he will do so on the traditional Sunday, where the two opening races of the season were both completed on Saturday. Moreover, in Australia the times of the sessions are 'normal', so there is no question of an evening race or sessions finished in the dark.

For European viewers, it will be an early rise to watch the action live at beautiful Albert Park. Qualifying is Saturday morning at 5:00 am UK time, with the Grand Prix even an hour earlier one day later. You can read why this year's Grand Prix can be seen hours earlier compared to the 2023 race here.
