Is the race on ESPN2 at 1am EST in the US? My guide is showing Formula 1: Grand Prix Sunday at midnight followed by UFC 272. I assume my guide is wrong again like for qualifying last week, but can anyone confirm?

Yes, it should immediately follow the Pre-Race show that begins at 10:30AM Central.

Thanks, I don't know why my provider has been showing the incorrect programming on the channel guide. This is two weeks in a row.

My co-worker was going through the same thing trying to set his DVR for it.

Currently the race is planned to start at the regular time - no delay.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Let's see if the rain mix things up a bit.

 

[Jezza819]

Sainz off and our first safety car.

 

[McLaren]

Sainz out, Gasly carrying some advertising with him. Albon out as well.

And Albon too. Meanwhile Gasly has hit part of a wall.

Vettel tried to pass Alonso and he drove himself off the track into a spin.

 

[PaMu1337]

Gasly is going for a very extreme front wing configuration

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I got hit by Alonso eh. It looks like you hit him.

 

[Jezza819]

Red Flag

 

[McLaren]

And now we're under Red.

 

[Blitz24]

Latifi somehow in 15th. He hasn't gotten lost yet though.

 

[Liquid]

Pirelli's wet tyre QA manager getting a day off again? Switching to wets hasn't even been tried but I'm not surprised at all by the red flag. It's just... expected these days.

I think the main concern is visibility.

Alright that's settled. I think I'll go to sleep.

 

[Blitz24]

Visibility is perfect right now...


If you don't want to see anything.

What time is it in Japan? It looks dark by time as well as because of the rain.

I set an alarm to wake up for the race, now I wish I would have just stayed asleep.

 

[PaMu1337]

Wow, Stroll had an amazing start!

The Petrov of the 2020s.

 

[McLaren]

Lewis coming real close to collecting that advertisement board.

 

[TumeK5]

Wow, Stroll had an amazing start!

Reminds me of Petrov's start in Australia, 2010.

Edit: Liquid beat me to it!

The Petrov of the 2020s.

So they have a 3 hour clock but only have about 30 minutes of leeway? Seems risky but what do I know.

I think they do this because of the time in Europe.

 

[NICKname]

There's no way they'll restart this race again.

[IforceV8]

TV hasnt picked this up yet.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Yeah these plastic advertising hoardings have been annoying for ages, go back to painting the tyre walls and get rid of these things that fall on the driver and hide them when they crash.
