Sao Paulo GP: when can you watch the F1 race, sprint and qualifying live on Sky Sports this weekend?

Max Verstappen has the advantage en route to Brazil’s epic Interlagos circuit with all the action live only on Sky Sports F1; Sprint returns this weekend; Sprint at 7:30pm on Saturday and Sunday race build up live at 5pm

The return of the Sprint will certainly add some spice in Brazil to what was an epic title battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton – and you can all watch the Sao Paulo GP live on Sky Sports this weekend.

Just a week after Verstappen dominated in Mexico and with four races to go in five hectic weeks, F1 returns to South America for the first time in two years at the iconic Interlagos circuit.

The Dutchman is on pole position to take his first world title, having built a 19-point lead thanks to his win in Mexico City.

However, as Verstappen and Hamilton collided in Sunday’s races after both previous sprints this season at Silverstone and Monza, who knows what will happen in Brazil between the big two of the grid, plus respective teams Red Bull and Mercedes .

There are three days of competitive action this weekend with qualifying on Friday, the short Sprint ‘race’ on Saturday and the flagship Sao Paulo GP on Sunday.

The key times for the weekend are:

• The F1 Sprint starts on Saturday at 7.30 pm, with build-up from 6.30 pm
• The Sao Paulo Grand Prix starts on Sunday at 5 p.m., build-up from 3:30 p.m

The live coverage starts Thursday evening from Sao Paulo with The F1 show at 7:30 p.m., while the runway action kicks off on Friday at 3:30 p.m.
