F1 officially announced the 2018 season calendar (practice competition, qualifying competition and main competition time). With the reform of the F1 by the new owner Free Media, the F1 calendar has seen the biggest adjustments in recent years, such as the start time of the European sub-station competition was adjusted to 3:10 pm.
In addition, the start time of all main competitions is scheduled to 10 minutes after the hour. F1 stated in the calendar statement: "Some TV stations usually start broadcasting from the hour, so they missed the tense atmosphere in the first few minutes of each race."
"Thanks to the adjustment of the start time, TV viewers can get closer to the team and drivers, and fully experience the scene before the red light goes out."
"The adjustments in other times are mainly to avoid conflicts with other events, such as FIFA World Cup . In addition, local sunset time is also considered, or to attract more fans to participate in the organizer's activities."
