Chinese Grand Prix Live: How to watch the race online and on TV
The best way to catch all the Chinese Grand Prix action is through Sky.
Sky owns the rights to live F1 coverage again, but that’s no bad thing, as it’ll be offering all the Formula 1 action in glorious 4K Ultra HD this year.
Note that you’ll need a 4K-ready TV, 2TB Sky Q box and the right Sky package to take advantage of Sky’s 4K UHD coverage.
Sky will be broadcasting the entire race on Sky channel 408. You’ll also be able to take control of Sky’s Race Control feature, which gives you multiple driver cam viewpoints, the pitman channel, a driver tracker, and a up-to-date timing page – all via the Red Button.
You can also catch the action online using the Sky Go app, which is available on both iOS and Android. And of course, you can also access the service using a web browser too.

If you’re not a Sky Subscriber, you can still watch the race on NOW TV for a small fee of £6.99. The benefit here is that you don’t need to sign up to a contract.
You’ll also be able to watch the highlights on Channel 4, or online or on mobile using the All 4 app.
