How to watch F1 in your time zone with the F1 Helper calendar

Formula 1 races on five continents, so start times move from early morning to late at night depending on where you live. F1 Helper converts every session to your device’s time zone automatically, so there is no maths to do.

When does the next F1 race start in my time zone?

Open the F1 race calendar. The next race weekend is highlighted with a countdown, and expanding a race shows every session — practice, qualifying, sprint and the Grand Prix — in your local time. The home page shows the same countdown at a glance.

How do I see the local time at the circuit?

Use the time toggle to switch between your time and track time. Track time shows sessions as they appear on the official timetable at the circuit, which is handy when you are travelling to a race or comparing with a broadcaster’s schedule.

How do I add the F1 calendar to my phone?

Each race on the calendar has an add-to-calendar button for that weekend. To get the whole season, subscribe to the F1 Helper calendar feed in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Subscribed calendars refresh on their own, so changed start times appear without you having to do anything.

Will I know if rain is forecast?

Within about ten days of a race, the calendar adds a weather forecast for the circuit from MET Norway, so you can see whether rain is likely before the weekend starts.

Following a session when you cannot watch

If you are following along without a broadcast, F1 live timing shows positions, gaps, tyres and race control messages during every session, and the F1 standings update once the results are in.
