Now that the Hungarian Grand Prix is out of the way, things are moving to Germany where the drivers will race for the last time before the Summer’s month-long break.

The action in Germany starts today with practice sessions, continues Saturday with more practice sessions and qualifying, and finishes Sunday, when the big race takes place.
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.
Unfortunately, there are less options than there were for the last GP this time around. 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 Germany as it happens.

Firstly, Channel 4’s highlight coverage breaks down like this:
30th July – 17:30 – Qualifying Highlights
31st July – 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.
