We're down to the final eight races of the F1 season, as the drivers head to the streets of Baku for the 2024 Azerbaijan GP.
Sunday's race on this challenging 3.7-mile circuit sees Red Bull desperate to end a winless run of six grands prix, a drought that has allowed McLaren's Lando Norris to reduce Max Verstappen's once seemingly unassailable lead in the drivers' championship to 62 points.
This weekend's race could also mark a significant breakthrough for McLaren. Currently just eight points behind Red Bull, they could lead the constructors' title race for first time in a decade with a positive result on Sunday.
The main race takes place Sunday Sept. 15 at 2:55 p.m. AZT local time, which is 11:55 am BST in the UK, 6:55 a.m. ET and 3:55 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 8:55 p.m. AEST in Australia. It will be held at the Baku City Circuit around the streets of the capital of Azerbaijan. The race will air in the US on ESPN and ESPN Plus.
The entire race weekend, including practice sessions and qualifying, will be shown in the US on ESPN's family of TV and streaming networks. Folks looking to follow all of it will need access to the ABC and ESPN news channels on cable or live TV streaming services, or the ESPN Plus streaming service. We've broken down everything you need to know to stream today's race, and all the other F1 races this season.
McLaren have decided to prioritize Lando Norris over teammate Oscar Piastri as they look to overturn Max Verstappen's lead in the drivers' championship.

How
to
watch
F1
online
from
anywhere
with
a
VPN
If you find yourself unable to view Formula 1 action locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
How to livestream the Azerbaijan GP in the UK
