F1 2025 EXACT UK start times for every race, qualification and sprint session this season as Norris makes quick start
FORMULA ONE is back and has made a brilliant start to the season – and SunSport can reveal the dates and times of EVERY race!
Lewis Hamilton looks to make history with an eighth world title at Ferrari, as fellow Brits Lando Norris and George Russell look for their first title.
Max Verstappen has won the title four times in a row, and he also looks to make history – aiming to become only the second person ever to win five in a row.
Races are set to go round the world, but what time will all of the races start?
SunSport has all the dates and times for the new season.
What happens during a Formula One weekend?
Each F1 weekend will consist of five sessions, with every weekend usually consisting of three practice sessions, a qualifying session and the race.
This is not the format every weekend, as in 2021 F1 introduced a “sprint weekend,” with those weekend’s consisting of one practice, two qualifying sessions and two race sessions.
Every race will start with a “formation lap,” so while timings are at the top of every hour, lights out is usually one to two minutes after the hour.
