Now that the back-to-back Belgian and Italian Grands Prix are out the way, the teams move on to the other side of the world for the Singapore Grand Prix.
The action in Singapore starts today with practice sessions, continues Saturday with more practice sessions and qualifying, and finishes Sunday, when the big race takes place.
Singapore has become a firm favourite on the circuit and is considered a classic, second only to Monaco. Nico Rossberg will be looking to take his third win in a row, having taken the top step in both Belgium and Italy. His team mate Lewis Hamilton will be looking to hold on to the overall lead which he currently has by two points.
And while there’ll be no shortage of coverage for those with access to a TV, many of us will be looking for ways of keeping up with developments using our computers, tablets, and mobiles.
While the highlights will be shown on Channel 4, you’re going to need access to the Sky Sports channels if you want to keep up with all the action in Singapore as it happens.
Firstly, Channel 4’s highlight coverage breaks down like this:
17th September – 17:30 – Qualifying Highlights
18th September – 18:00 – Race Highlights
You can watch both these shows through the Channel 4 website by using the player to watch live TV through your browser. If you don’t have an account, you’ll have to sign up, but it’s just a case of giving them an email address and shouldn’t take too long.
Alternatively, if you want to watch on a mobile device, you can download the All 4 app, which also lets you watch live. Catchup will be available through the same app.
If you’d prefer to get more in-depth coverage through Sky Sports, you don’t need a full Sky subscription, you can simply sign up through Now TV.
All you need to do is head to the Now TV website, or download the Now TV app, sign up, and buy a Sky Sports Pass.
