If we take Mexico as an example:

Qali is at 15:00 local time which is 20:00 GMT and we are GMT + 2 so the Race should start at 14:00 hours, local plus 5 hours for GMT difference, however, Daylight Saving Time ends on Saturday Night in Mexico but Sunday Night in England and the Race is on Sunday so subtract 1 and add 2 and you get the race start as 9PM South African time.

Simple :) ;)

Seems a bit weird to have only the top 5 score points though.
Even more weird that P10 gets nothing between 25-50%

Unnecessary complexity in my opinion. Just give no points if the race doesn't do 50%+ laps, otherwise full points.

It’s F1. Unnecessarily complex is the norm

No, 17:00 as they are GMT +1 and they will be in Daylight Saving time so that is also +1 resulting in GMT+2 so the same as us.

ugh... I thought 5pm and wrote 15:00... basically yes were at the same as CEST in their summer
 
FIA Still stalling.......

"The integrity of the FIA will always be intact," insists Ben Sulayem

As fans demand the FIA reveals the findings of its investigation into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, FIA president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem insists that what matters is to protect the governing body's integrity.
www.pitpass.com

Never mind the Sprints or the points allocation for events that don't go the distance, what fans wanted from Monday's meeting of the F1 Commission was the result of the investigation into the events at Abu Dhabi on 12 December.

When an official statement from the FIA merely reported that the "FIA president led detailed discussions" and "feedback from the commission on matters raised" would be "incorporated into his analysis" and he would publicly "present news of structural changes and action plan in the coming days", the reaction was immediate.

While sections of the (tabloid) media created deliberately misleading headlines, social media went into overdrive, with accusations of "corruption" at the FIA, while the hashtag #VoidLap58 trended, as fans called for the result of the race to be overturned.


As if what happened that evening in Abu Dhabi wasn't bad enough, the handling of the situation ever since has appeared to make things worse.

Ahead of the meeting, Toto Wolff and Christian Horner were seen arriving, with the media eagerly anticipating a showdown. However, later that same day came the news that the whole affair was still being considered.

Having effectively been thrown in at the deep end, Ben Sulayem is fully aware of the importance of how this plays out, but insists that the integrity of the sport's governing body is what really matters.

"We agreed on certain things, and the analysis is still going on, but it will come soon," he told Sky Sports. "It was a good discussion... information will be announced.

"But definitely, as we said, the integrity of the FIA will always be intact," he added. "I am elected to do that, but also to have a fair motorsport. That's my duty. So, it was a very good meeting.

"We went through a lot of important things for the season, so I expect a good F1 season. We can only go forward. This is important for the FIA, for the integrity of the FIA and for the sport. We can only improve the future."

Last month, Peter Bayer, the FIA official charged with leading the investigation in to the Abu Dhabi event, speaking to an Austrian journalist while the investigation was still underway, said there was the "possibility" of a new race director, as well as a restructuring of the entire race control process.

The FIA was quick to react to Bayer's comments, issuing a statement insisting that the affair was still under investigation and that no conclusions had been drawn.

While a number of paddock insiders, including the likes of Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, have spoken out in favour of Michael Masi, the pressure from fans and the media is unrelenting.

Meanwhile, the media continues to speculate, and while some believe Masi will keep his job, possibly with the aid of an assistant, others are claiming the restructure will result in a new race director, possibly two people sharing the role.

I think voiding or cancelling anything that happened would just open another can of worms. 2021 will always be a tainted year but it's done now and should be left as is.

What should happen though is a complete rewrite of the rules around the safety car procedures to tighten them up and how the race director needs to apply those rules. I also still think Masi needs to be replaced as he will always be tarnished for breaking the current SC rules in order to manipulate a result.
 
The Williams livery has been leaked. They will be using a show car, not their 2022 challenger.

We will know for sure in 3 min..........

Yep, They spoke about the new sponsors and not the actual car.
Another damp squid of a launch.
