Why is Qualifying starting 3 hours after the Sunday race starts?

Yank TV.

It's the only event of the year aside from Japan that's very very awkward for European viewers.

There's no reason to be so late in Austin bar just being totally set for us tv and not giving a stuff about the main market.

That said though, having the race at 8pm tomorrow does clash with a shed load of NFL, so I wonder if there are other factors?

Either way, expecting the tyres to take a hammering tomorrow and think Mercedes might be the team to fight Red Bull if Ferrari continues to chew Pirelli’s like Hubba Bubba!

It’s been reported that Red Bull founder and F1 team owner Dietrich Mateschitz has died aged 78

I can only presume that with race must be started at a time no later than x to get 3 hours daylight but the quali can be prime time so moved.

Well that's ruined the fun.

Unless verstappen blows his big end.

Bunch of munters behind Hamilton as well so unless le clerc starts powering round he's going to be miles back.
 
Not trying to excuse Russell for punting Carlos, but the positioning of Carlos’s car is odd, he continues to come left once he has made the apex. It almost looks like he was avoiding the back of Max’s car and moved left in front of George.

It seems weird that the teams only have 2 sets of Hard tyres and they haven't actually used them on this track but are now racing on them!
I suppose they know how their car reacts on the compound as they have raced on that compound at other tracks.
