Formula 1 2019 race start times announced
Formula 1 has revealed the full schedule for the 2019 season, which will stick to the slightly later start times introduced last year.
For 2018 F1 shifted each part of the weekend schedule back by one hour, moving European races away from their traditional 2pm start time.
Every grand prix also started at 10 minutes past the hour to aid commercial television channel coverage.
