Typical broadcasters for this competition include Sky Sports F1 4K, F1 TV Pro, ESPN, Canal+ F1. Which games are on which channel depends on the league's rights deals in the UK, so check the channel list during your trial.
Match times and schedule (UK time)
Race start times vary by circuit, from early afternoon in Europe to late evening for the Asian and Australian rounds.
F1 weekends have practice, qualifying and a race, so a stable stream across a full weekend is more useful than a one-off test.
Getting a stable stream
For live sport, the biggest factor is your own network. Use Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi, avoid running downloads during matches and test on BT, Sky Broadband, Virgin Media and TalkTalk at the time you normally watch.
Plan for roughly 8 to 10 Mbps for HD and about 25 Mbps for 4K per stream, and add headroom if other people in the home are streaming at the same time.
Choosing a device
- Amazon Firestick 4K for a low-cost, easy option
- A Samsung or LG smart TV with a supported app
- An Android TV or Google TV box for 4K and a smooth interface
- A Windows PC or laptop for a second screen
