These times aren't exactly wonderful for Europe either tho. I don't know about you, but I'm not watching a race at 7 in the morning on a Sunday. I'll just watch it when I wake up, same as some Americans will
That’s every race for most of us in America. So forgive me if there’s 0 sympathy. We’re getting screwed over so it can be later in the morning for you.
I'm not asking for your sympathy, I don't mind. I'm merely stating that the time was not chosen for eurocentric reasons. It probably has to do with showing Vegas at night so it looks nicer and not interfering with the locals too much in terms of traffic.
They could show Vegas at night 4-6 hours earlier. The only reason they’re not doing it that way is so it won’t be overnight for europe.
For us (or for everyone actually) it's like a race in Japan.
I know it's ridiculous for US-Americans to have a race on home soil happening at a stupid point in time and I totally get the anger.
