The Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2025 will start two hours earlier than last year. This was revealed in the timetable published by the FIA for the upcoming F1 season. This is not good news for many European fans, as it will force them to get up even earlier, but there are plenty of reasons why the decision makes sense.
In exciting news, the FIA has finally released the 2025 start times for all 24 Grands Prix. On the Formula 1 side of things, Sergio Perez’s old race engineer gets a new job, while after Lewis Hamilton’s crash, Ferrari’s engineers had to work hard to fix the SF-23.

In a red-carpet interview with Sky Sports, Toto Wolff was asked about his opinions on the new FIA penalties that were recently released. While many fans, drivers and teams alike seem to have negative views about the chances of championship points being taken away for misbehaviour, Wolff has a different mindset.
Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya is now a fan of the new FIA penalties. He thinks that the new penalties for alleged driver misconduct take away from the interest in the sport. Montoya also thinks that fans want to see real people, not some perfectly made PR “princesses”.
The FIA will be even stricter in terms of the use of flexible wings. According to Autoracer.it, after consultation over the winter, a new technical directive that was issued should ensure that the tracks used to make front wings flexible will be reduced.

Christian Horner believes the FIA made “absolutely the right decision” regarding Johnny Herbert’s departure as steward for the 2025 Formula 1 season. The Red Bull Racing team boss also stressed that it had nothing to do with Max Verstappen, who was criticised by Herbert on several occasions.
