British Grand Prix 2021: How to watch the sprint and F1 race for free

credit: F1.com
The 2021 F1 championship has been one of the more exciting of recent times as Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton goes wheel-to-wheel with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

The F1 circus pitches its tent at the home of F1 in Silverstone, where Hamilton will be looking to redress the momentum Verstappen has built with his recent race wins. And he’ll be attempting to do so in front of strong home crowd, one of the biggest F1 has seen since the start of the pandemic.

New for F1 is the introduction of a sprint race on Saturday alongside the traditional qualifying format that took place on Friday. Drivers will be able to race flat out without pit-stops to add a bit of excitement and uncertainty on race weekends. Some are still uncertain about whether it will actually provide excitement, but there’s only one way to find out…
