This is always said after the clocks are put back.  I don't see it that way at all.

I usually wake up during BST at around 0600.  So on Sunday, it will be 0500 GMT.  I will be awake, so no 'lying in'.  However, come evening I will have to stay up an hour longer.  

It won't of course be quite like that.  I often go to bed at around 2100 BST, so on Sunday it will be 2000 GMT.  I might miss the Mexico Grand Prix (yawn!) as I have seen conflicting start times indicated as being 1900 GMT or 2000 GMT.  I think it's the latter.

It's really inconvenient the time they have the various grand prix in the Americas. The timing of the European ones are far better! 

I like the way in the last race, that because F1 is now run by Americans, the terrible reception that Max got after a brilliant drive was largely ignored (or edditted out) & we were repeatedly told how great the sporting fans in US are.  Not my idea of sporting. (I watched on C4)

It's raining

The whole thing is a huge bore except the start and sometimes the finish.
Unless the weather is interesting of course.
