This is the start time of the 2024 Grand Prix in Japan
This weekend marks the fourth race of the season in Japan. Japanese fans will be eagerly anticipating the performance of home hero Yuki Tsunoda who finished a superb seventh in the last race in Australia for both his and RB's first points of the season.
To thrill the home fans further, Tsunoda's compatriot, Ayumu Iwasa, will make his F1 debut when he drives in first practice at the Suzuka Circuit, replacing Daniel Ricciardo at RB.
The 2024 Japanese Grand Prix starts on Sunday, April 7 at 06:00 BST, prompting an early wake-up call for all those in Europe. Around 90 minutes later we should know the winner, unless weather again plays a factor as has occurred in the past.
Will this grand prix again deliver a thrilling spectacle?
