They went from Europe to Singapore, and now the F1 circus is off to Russia, where Sochi is hosting the 2018 Russian Grand Prix! We're in a different time zone again with different starting times to everything, so what does that mean for the schedule? We've got you covered!
Friday features the first two practice sessions, as always. Nicholas Latifi will be manning one of the Force India cars, taking over Sergio Pérez's car for FP1.
Saturday, which features both the last practice session as well as the qualifying, will be kicking off earlier than usual, with qualifying taking place round about the lunch hour. The race itself on Sunday will take place even earlier, with the action kicking off at 12pm BST.
