I've discovered Perth, Australia, to be the best place for F1 timings. All Euro races and night races timed for mid afternoon Euro time fall to about 8pm, the far east races fit late afternoon, Japan early afternoon. Australia works for lunchtime, only the US races are middle of the night.

Yes and yes. Also, there hasn't been an American in F1 with a recognizable name in over 20 years. And over that period of time, open wheel racing in the U.S. has really fallen out of favor.
When I used to follow ratings, F1 on ESPN would pull something around a .5-.7 and the handful of races on ABC would pull something in the mid 1's, as best I can recall. Pretty much in the range of what CART was pulling back then. I believe when Villeneuve and Montoya were in F1, the ratings were higher for F1 here. People here knew them by name more than any American driver outside of an Unser, Andretti or some NASCAR guy. But once F1 left ESPN, fewer people got Speedvision/Speed Channel, so of course, viewership suffered. And I have no idea how NBCSports is doing with F1 now. And to be honest, as long as they maintain the good coverage that we have now, I don't really care what the ratings are anymore. These days, I might watch one live race a year. People these days can tape or DVR races. And NBCSports has an On Demand option. The On Demand on my Roku has become my favorite way to watch the free practice sessions that aren't televised."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

In my opinion you should change nothing the night race because is interesting. Then the GP Abu Dhabi could not unwound the day has cause of the temperature very high

I don't mind the night racing, but i like it to remain just 1 or 2 for novelty sake.
The day to night at Abu Dhabi is a keeper
Bharain and Singapore should alternate each year as a night race and the other a day race.
It would be fun to see a race in Singapore during the day. But maybe the humidity might be too much
I've gotten very accustomed to early morning races since it doesn't interfere with the rest of my day.
Japan and Malaysia are always a little tough for me as Saturday nights get interrupted. but hey, 2 nights in the year is quite ok.
I just plan around those 2 weekends to go nowhere
There is something nice about me getting up early and watching the races while my lovely woman is sleeping in bed, occasionally getting up to watch a race or 2 with me..it's become our thingyou can't argue with results.

Night or day, thatīs not the question, people live in different timezones. The question is if you like it or not.

Bahrain looks a lot better in daytime. All those sand dunes are not visible at night.
