About F1 Helper

F1 Helper is a free, independent Formula 1 dashboard: the race calendar in your own time zone, live session timing, championship standings, race results, and driver and team pages — without the clutter.

What F1 Helper is

F1 Helper answers the questions fans ask every race weekend: when the next Grand Prix starts in their time zone, who won the last race, how the drivers' and constructors' championships stand, and what is happening on track right now. Every page puts that answer first, in plain text, with the full data underneath.

Start with the F1 race calendar, the drivers' championship standings, the constructors' standings, the season's race results or live timing during a session.

Who builds it

F1 Helper is designed, built and maintained by Sandro Pozar. You can find him on GitHub and LinkedIn. Feedback, corrections and bug reports are welcome there.

Where the data comes from

Timing, results and standings are not typed in by hand. They come from open, community-maintained Formula 1 data services and are refreshed automatically. Editorial content such as news and circuit facts is written by the F1 Helper team. Sources and update frequency are listed alongside.

How session times and time zones work

All session times are stored in UTC and converted in your browser to your device's time zone, so the calendar is correct wherever you are, including across daylight-saving changes. The My time / Track time switch shows the local time at the circuit instead. Countdowns run to the official scheduled start; weather forecasts appear once a race is within about ten days.

Subscribe to the F1 calendar

The full season is available as a calendar feed. Subscribe once and every practice, qualifying, sprint and race session appears in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, and stays up to date when sessions are rescheduled. Use webcal://www.f1helper.com/calendar.ics to subscribe, or download the .ics file. Each race page also has an “Add to calendar” button for a single weekend.

No. F1 Helper is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Formula 1, the FIA or any team. F1, Formula 1 and related marks are trademarks of Formula One Licensing B.V.

How quickly do results and standings appear after a race?
