Good Morning Suzuka! Mad F1 fans back home are watching!

The Japanese GP – It must mean dodgy European viewing times!

If like me you are a citizen of a European country, this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix is set to be a killer on the sleep pattern if you want to follow every session.

Two alarm calls are needed in the early hours of Friday morning for FP1 and FP2, and the same on Saturday morning for FP3 and the qualifying session. The race kicks off at 7:00am on Sunday in the UK which will leave you with a free Sunday on a GP weekend.
