How can I watch the French GP? F1 timings and TV schedules

Formula 1 returns to the Circuit Paul Ricard for this weekend’s 2021 French Grand Prix.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, F1 didn’t race in France last year.

Lewis Hamilton dominated the 2018 and 2019 races from pole position, and the seven-time champion will be hoping Mercedes is back on the pace after trailing Red Bull in Monaco and Baku.

The gap at the top of the drivers’ championship remains four points after Max Verstappen’s tyre failure in Azerbaijan.

The 2021 French Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, June 20. Cars will take to the track on Friday for practice, with FP3 and qualifying taking place on the Saturday.
