Why the times on this page are reliable
Formula 1 start times are published in UTC; this page converts each one into Gulf (UAE) time using the same automatic, DST-aware conversion behind our per-race pages. There is no guesswork and nothing to configure — the GST times above already account for daylight saving on the exact date of each race. For a race in a different local timezone, open its page and every session converts to wherever you are.
