FOM has released the official session and race start times for the 2019 F1 season.
As in 2018, to aid TV broadcasters, all races will start at ten minutes past the hour.
The most noticeable change, compared to 2017, is that the French Grand Prix has been moved forward an hour so that it starts at 15:10 (local time). It was held an hour later in 2017 in order to avoid a clash with England's World Cup match.
