That’s a wonderful addition, the ‘Convert to my timezone’ button. Well done!

I realise it might already have been there for a while as I usually skip these ‘How to’s’.

The ‘Convert to my timezone’ option has been available since the US GP, so the fifth time thus far.

The session times changed a bit from the original, with the race start time getting brought forward by an hour, & while I’d be happier if it were 17:00 local as I prefer afternoon timings to evening ones, not to mention the race would start about 20 min after sunset.
I’m happy that at least the sprint start time is 17:00.
Practice commences at 16:30 & thus has the same background as the Abu Dhabi GP, which is enough as a minimum, given how many floodlit sessions begin under already a fully dark sky.

Sunset time mention ✔️
Fantasy scheduling suggestion ✔️

I correctly assumed you’d use an opportunity just because I used the word sunset.
