Styrian Grand Prix: F1 TV channel and how to watch this weekend
The 2020 Formula One season continues this weekend with a second Grand Prix in Austria in as many races, with the inaugural Styrian Grand Prix set to take place on the same Red Bull Ring circuit as last week’s curtain-raiser.
Valtteri Bottas leads the championship standings thanks to his victory last Sunday afternoon, dominating from start to finish as he survived three testing safety car restarts to lead every lap and take home a maximum haul of points.
Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton already has work to do, having collected just 12 points compared to his Mercedes teammate’s 25, while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is yet to get off the mark after being forced into retirement inside 12 laps last time out.
Mercedes and Red Bull are expected to be the pace-setters once again this weekend, leaving the midfield battle to be played out by the likes of McLaren, Racing Point and Ferrari - who have ordered in urgent upgrades in an effort to try and avoid as difficult a weekend as the Austrian Grand Prix was.
The race is the second of a three-race triple-header, with the paddock set to relocate to Hungary next weekend for the third round of the season.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch this weekend’s Styrian Grand Prix.
How can I watch it?
All European races will be held behind closed doors, meaning that the only way fans will be able to see the action is on television.
In the UK, Sky Sports continue to hold the exclusive rights for F1, with Channel 4 only able to show the British Grand Prix later in the year.
If you’re not a Sky customer you can purchase a NOWTV Day Pass here to watch without a subscription.
