F1 in 2017: What time do the races start in the UK on Sky Sports F1?

The start times for this year's 20 Formula 1 races have been confirmed.

2017's Melbourne curtain-raiser is a week later than last year and takes place on Sunday, March 26 - the day the clocks go forward in the UK for British Summer Time.

That means that 2016's UK start time of 5am becomes 6am for 2017. The Australian GP is live only on Sky F1 in the UK and Ireland.

The second race in China starts at 7am BST.

The traditional European rounds, plus the floodlit events of Singapore and the Abu Dhabi season finale, start at 1pm as usual.

The US GP has the latest UK start time, 8pm, while the Canadian and Mexican races each get underway at 7pm.

Sky Sports F1 is the only place to watch all of 2017's Grands Prix live.

The first two rounds in Australia and China are two of the channel's 10 exclusively live race weekends in 2017.
