Will Superstar Lewis Hamilton score his first win of the season on his home track? We'll have to tune in to see.

Sling TV's $35 Orange plan might be a good choice for F1 fans who are primarily looking to just watch the races on Sundays. This plan is one of the cheapest ways to get access to ESPN and ESPN 2. Users will still be able to view all F1 onboard cameras, along with full replays of F1, F2, F3 and Porsche Supercup. It also includes the historic race archive. Hulu Plus Live TV is a little more expensive than YouTube TV, but it also offers all the channels you need to watch every second of race weekend. Teams need both strategy and skill to compete against some of the best minds in motorsports. The base package lacks ESPNews, but you can add it for an extra $8 a month with the Fubo Extra Package or pay for the $80-a-month Elite streaming tier that includes Fubo Extra. Check out which local networks FuboTV offers here. The length of the races also varies, with some, like the Indianapolis 500, lasting 500 laps and taking over three hours to complete. Teams can field more than two cars, meaning that the amount of drivers on the grid fluctuates from race to race. Each driver needs to use two different tires in the race, so a pit stop is mandatory, though cars are not allowed to refuel. In contrast, the cars featured in IndyCar are more standardized. The entire race weekend, including practice sessions and qualifying, will be shown in the US on ESPN's family of television networks. We've broken down everything you need to know in order to stream F1 races this season. The British racing megastar qualified in fifth Saturday and currently sits in sixth place in the Drivers' Championship standings.

Elsewhere, British driver Lewis Hamilton claimed just his second podium finish of the season last time out as Mercedes begin to improve on their early season race pace. You can also stream Formula 1 races live in the U.S. with fuboTV, which offers a free trial. That'll be music to the ears of Max Verstappen in particular who looked lightning quick in practice 3 yesterday as he looks to steal a further march on his championship rivals this afternoon. Before that though, we've been treated by birthday boy Sebastian Vettel who has been running around the famous Silverstone track in a 1992 Williams car which he actually owns. He's closely followed by a few others as the Red Arrows fly overhead much to the capacity crowd's excitement! He's definitely one to keep an eye on here! It looks like Russell, Zhou Guangyu, Tsunoda, Ocon and Albon are all involved. We've seen no replays yet of the incident. His car rolled across the gravel before it flipped up over the barriers and hit the catch fencing. That incident has now been dealt with by the local authorities. Red flag: The race will restart at 15:56 local time so in just under ten minutes time. That'll be a tough one to swallow for Sainz.

Charles Leclerc finished second last year +3.871 seconds behind Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton took home the victory at his home race in 2021 and is currently the third favorite to win it again this year with +700 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook. Formula One is in England this weekend for the latest race.

Join Alex Hess for updates from Silverstone, where the race is restarting an hour late after a major crash on turn one.

And Bernie Eccleston says he would “take a bullet” for Putin, that the war in Ukraine is “unintentional” and that Hamilton could have “brushed aside” Piquet’s remarks. And the drivers head off for the formation lap. Among the spectators at Silverstone is Tom Cruise. I’m sure he’d agree that there are a few good men on the grid today but Verstappen – a driver without limits – is far and away the favourite. Lap 1/52: We’re under way – and the cars have barely left the grid before we see a huge crash. An official statement has said: “The FIA advises that following the start of the race, emergency crews were immediately in attendance and the drivers of Car 23 (Albon) and Car 24 (Zhou) have been taken to the medical centre. Controversially, it looks like the drivers will restart in grid order, which puts Verstappen – who had moved past Sainz in the early moments – back to second and Hamilton, who was third when the red flag came out, back to fifth. Lap 1/52: Albon is also out, while Tsunoda and Ocon look to have damage. Lap 6/52: Leclerc is doing his best to hunt down Verstappen, the gap between them a tight half a second. These people were immediately removed and the matter is now being dealt with by the local authorities.” Lap 14/52: And it looks like the issue with Verstappen’s car hasn’t been entirely fixed. Verstappen trundles into the pits and emerges in sixth. Lap 17/52: So then, we have the two Ferrari drivers in first and second, with Leclerc not happy about being stuck behind his teammate.

Emergency crews were immediately in attendance, with Zhou and Williams driver Alex Albon being taken to the medical centre. A replay showed Pierre Gasly being pinched between George Russell on one side and Zhou on the other, with contact between Gasly and Russell pitching the Mercedes of Russell into Zhou's Alfa Romeo. Tsunoda, Ocon and Gasly were able to continue back to the pits, while Zhou, Albon and Russell were out of the race on the spot.

The Alfa Romeo driver was hit after a collision between Tsunoda and Russell, who got out of his car to attend to Zhou.

I can’t really think about it at the moment.” “We’re trying to appeal but the FIA are pretty adamant. British driver Russell, who was caught up in the incident, was spotted leaving his car and running away from the track, towards the barriers. Next thing I know I got touched and was beside Zhou, and that’s it. He was taken away in an ambulance after being helped from the car. Verstappen successfully jumped pole sitter Carlos Sainz to snatch the lead, while Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton worked his way up into third.

But when he returned, the car was in a flat bed, and due to the rules, the FIA will not allow Russell to rejoin. Over the radio, Alfa Romeo told teammate Valtteri Bottas that “Zhou is okay.” The Alfa Romeo flipped upside down and went flying across the track and into the gravel.

Zhou's car rolled over several times, skidded into a wall upside down, and nearly flipped into the crowd.

And there's no doubt we had the pace to come back to P6 today.” So it's annoying because the only issue we had was a puncture. He was just stuck in there with nowhere to go.”

Williams driver Alex Albon has been taken to hospital in Coventry for further checks following a collision at the start of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix.

Zhou remainsedunder observation in the medical centre following his incident, with a brief update from Alfa Romeo reading: "Zhou Guanyu underwent checks in the medical centre. He remains under observation in the medical centre." "The driver of Car 63 (Russell) was checked by medical staff and was declared fit."

Carlos Sainz Jr. has won his first career Formula One race with a victory in the British Grand Prix.

Verstappen is dating Piquet’s daughter, Kelly, and faced criticism from fans when he said Piquet was not a racist despite using “very offensive” language. F1 said they were being “dealt with by the local authorities.” “I gave it everything,” said Hamilton, who was third in Canada two weeks ago and hoped Mercedes is on a comeback. Zhou’s car flipped upside-down and cleared a tire barrier before smashing into a fence. But a safety car came out and Ferrari brought Sainz into the pits for fresher, grippier soft tires. It began with a frightening first-lap crash and ended with intense wheel-to-wheel battles for the podium positions.

The restart was clean but not without drama. Thanks everyone for your kind messages," Zhou tweeted after the crash "It was a very special day that I will not forget. After a pit stop and with his performance hampered, his race was effectively over much to the delight of some at Silverstone who had jeered the driver over the weekend. "I'm ok, all clear. The race had to be restarted after Zhou's car was flipped upside down and crashed into a fence having been clipped shortly after the start.

Carlos Sainz won a thrilling British Grand Prix ahead of Sergio Perez in a Formula 1 race disrupted by a horrifying first corner crash, protesters and a ...

The Haas driver had a look to the inside of Stowe with a couple of laps remaining and then nearly hit Verstappen with a bold move at the first part of Club on the final tour before backing out of certain contact at the final corner just a few moments later. Gasly was able to carry on relatively unscathed. Ocon stopped before Copse and the safety car was therefore called out, with Ferrari leaving Leclerc out on his aging hards despite appearing to have time to call him in, as it did for Sainz and Mercedes did for Hamilton. With Ferrari opting to leave things alone, Hamilton was soon homing in on the pair and was just under four seconds behind when Sainz was called in to ease Ferrari's quandary at the end of lap 20 to take the hards. After this, Leclerc edged clear to lead by just under a second, but was matching Hamilton's times up front and so on lap 33 the Briton was called in to make his switch to the hards, but a getting his used left-front medium off took slightly longer than normal and so it ended up being a 4.3s stop that meant he came out behind the two red cars. Verstappen quickly shot to a lead above one second, but his lead only lasted two laps as he was then slow through Maggotts and Becketts with what he suspected was a puncture picked up after running over the kerbs at Copse on lap 12, but which Red Bull later explained was damage to a small winglet at the rear of his car. Verstappen immediately pitted for another set of mediums, Sainz having already moved back to the lead and Leclerc threatening, with Hamilton not far behind after he had dispatched Norris into Brooklands on the lap after Perez stopped early on. That would soon mean Perez had to pit for a new wing, which released the battling Hamilton and Lando Norris, while up front Sainz had established a lead over a second by the time the DRS was activated on lap five of 52. There, with Leclerc obliged by Verstappen to take the outside line, the pair clashed lightly and the Ferrari had to take to the runoff before his right-front wing endplate, which was damaged in the earlier contact with Perez, flying off on the run to Copse and hitting the second Red Bull's front wing right-side and causing similar harm. But Leclerc sent a bold move to Perez's inside at Turn 4 and was able to force his way back to third, with the Monegasque driver then getting such good drive onto the Wellington straight he was able to attack Verstappen at Brooklands. But with Verstappen not backing down, Sainz was forced to hang on around the outside of Abbey but did so to thrillingly retain the lead, with Leclerc again making a slow getaway behind the two leaders, this time with Perez getting by off the line. As Leclerc was making an attempt to get back ahead of the Mercedes through Village and the Loop a couple of corners later, the race was red-flagged due to the multi-car pile-up behind the leaders at Abbey.

Leclerc was left to hold back Hamilton and Pérez for as long as possible. Leclerc was leading on hard compound tires with a damaged front wing while Sainz in second, Hamilton in third and Pérez in fourth all stopped for soft tires. Ferrari struggled to deal with the slow pace of Carlos Sainz as he comprised his teammate Leclerc. Hamilton threatened to jump both Ferrari after the final round of pit stops. Max Verstappen remained in pursuit of Sainz for the lead. The four front-running cars briefly went four-wide as Sainz’s teammate Charles Leclerc lunged over a curb in the Arena complex and made contact with Sergio Pérez. Pérez was forced to pit for a new front wing. The focus of the race start wasn’t on the Ferraris and Red Bulls out front but on the cars further back because of an immediate red flag.

Emergency crews were immediately in attendance, with Zhou and Williams driver Alex Albon being taken to the medical centre. Tsunoda, Ocon and Gasly were able to continue back to the pits, while Zhou, Albon and Russell were out of the race on the spot. Just moments after Zhou's crash, Albon was involved in a separate incident, when he hit the brakes for the initial crash and Sebastian Vettel piled into the back of his Williams. The collision pushed Albon into the pit wall before he rebounded back onto the track and collided with Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon.

The 27-year-old secured the monumental win in his 150th Formula One start.

Hamilton was briefly second after passing both Pérez and Leclerc in a three-wide move, but he couldn’t hold position and dropped back to fourth. But a safety car came out and Ferrari brought Sainz into the pits for fresher, grippier soft tires. It began with a frightening first-lap crash and ended with intense wheel-to-wheel battles for the podium positions.

Carlos Sainz won a thrilling British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday, overcoming his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc to score his first F1 win.

The race was decided with a frantic 10-lap dash to the finish. Hamilton finally made the move for third stick into Stowe using DRS. Ferrari swapped its cars over on Lap 31, with no protest from Sainz as he couldn’t hit the target laptime being asked of him. Meantime, Tsunoda spun into his teammate Gasly at Village, relegating both AlphaTauris from the points and getting himself a penalty. In a wild restart, Sainz passed Leclerc for the win, with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez surging up to second, ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes after some amazingly close racing. The shunt was triggered when Pierre Gasly’s AlphaTauri was pinched between Zhou and George Russell (Mercedes), the latter spinning into Zhou’s right-rear tyre and sending him flying.

Zhou Guanyu credited the F1 halo with saving the life of the Alfa Romeo driver after a frightening first-lap crash in the British Grand Prix.

Obviously gutted to end the race this way and I'm sorry for the team and the fans. That was a scary incident and all credit to the marshals and medical team for their quick response. The group also tried to disrupt some Premier League soccer games in England in recent months. It was stuck between the tire wall and the fence, delaying efforts to extricate Zhou. Alex Albon of Williams also was taken to the medical center, and his team later said he’d been transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for a precautionary check. Zhou’s car slid upside-down across the gravel and his Alfa Romeo seemed to be wedged between fencing and a tire barrier at the first corner.

Alfa Romeo Formula 1 rookie escapes serious injury after flipping into and over a tire barrier Silverstone.

What we witnessed were dramatic scenes, and once again we have to thank the great improvements in safety spearheaded by the FIA and Formula 1 for a positive outcome. Alfa Romeo team principal Frederic Vasseur said that “the most important thing today is seeing Zhou come out of such a huge crash without any injury. It was an extraordinary image and fortunately word emerged that Zhou had not sustained serious injury.

Fans at Silverstone watched the Ferrari driver hold onto his victory as a three-way battle ensued behind him late in the incident-packed grand prix.

And there’s no doubt we had the pace to come back to P6 today.” After barrel-rolling over the barrier, Zhou was stuck between the metal fence and tire barriers, a narrow gap with nowhere to go. The rookie and Williams driver Alex Albon, who was involved in a separate wreck, were both sent to the medical care center. “I don’t want the focus to be pointed towards my disappointing race but more towards his incredible race win and obviously a first win in Formula 1 is always extremely special. Pierre Gasly was between Russell and Zhou, but as the gap started to disappear, the AlphaTauri driver pulled back. Sainz was brought in for softs, and Leclerc commented over the radio how it would be “hard” to chase cars on soft tires in the closing stages. Binotto felt that the team’s strategy calls were “the right and proper ones at each single time,” and the only possible miscue was Leclerc staying out. “I’ve always been a team player, I will always be a team player and especially in Ferrari, I know the team is in front of me and my personal interests. “I gave myself the best chance to stay ahead, by pushing as much as I could, but to a point that I was destroying so much my front tire that it made total sense for Charles to go through, and I let him by as soon as the team told me to do so,” Sainz said. “Then we were hoping for more tire degradation on the softs, to give Charles, yeah, maybe a difficult three or four laps initially but then recovering later on, but the soft didn’t degrade as we were hoping.” Leclerc, who was the race leader, remained out on his hard tires—the only driver to still have them on when the rest of the field emerged. “I needed to stay in the race like I was trying to and then all of a sudden the safety car gave me the opportunity to get back on it.

Carlos Sainz Jr. won his first career Formula One race on Sunday with a victory at the British Grand Prix.

“I gave it everything,“ said Hamilton, who was third in Canada two weeks ago and hoped Mercedes is on a comeback. Zhou’s car flipped upside-down and cleared a tire barrier before smashing into a fence. “Honestly, I never stopped believing that this dream was going to come, even though this year has been tough for me.” He had finished second or third 11 times before winning and was a frustratingly close second to Max Verstappen at the last race in Canada. He struggled for grip and finished seventh. But a safety car came out and Ferrari brought Sainz into the pits for fresher, grippier soft tires. It began with a frightening first-lap crash and ended with intense wheel-to-wheel battles for the podium positions.

The halo is a device used to protect drivers who race in open-wheel racing series. He didn't mind, however, as his No. 1 concern at the time was Zhou's health. The measure was originally met with criticism from fans of the sport and its drivers, too. What is the halo and how did it help Zhou? Here's what to know about it. The crash caused Zhou's car to roll over and spin like a top on the track. A red flag was waved immediately after the crash.

After the accident, Zhou said: “It was a big crash and I’m glad I’m ok.

Zhou Guanyu's horror accident at the start of Formula 1's British Grand Prix will, like every crash, be investigated in depth by the FIA.

Then that was followed by a continuous longitudinal load as it scraped along the track. All teams have to go through the crash tests on this before their cars are allowed on track. In all circumstances, the choice of a blade roll structure has been favoured over a traditional hoop owing to two factors: aerodynamic gains and weight.

“I have been racing 27 years and I was nine when I saw a kid die on the same day I won a race. The halo destroys the DNA of an F1 car. Grosjean himself was initially sceptical of the device. It is a stark reminder that this is a dangerous sport. Lewis Hamilton initially described it as the “worst-looking modification” in F1 history, while three-time world champion and former Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda, himself the survivor of a horrific crash, said: “There is 100 per cent a better solution than the halo. I have always been aware of the dangers and risks that I take and when I get later in life I question it more than perhaps I did when I was in my early 20s.

Driver Zhou Guanyu says the halo device saved his life after a horror crash at Silverstone on Sunday.

"The other argument was whether it was affecting the driver's visibility, looking out of the cockpit. He says he is the latest in a series of drivers to be saved by the halo safety device. But it quickly proved its worth when it was introduced in 2018, following a campaign by the late FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting and the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. But a few years later Hamilton said it had saved his life in his crash at the Italian Grand Prix in 2021. After years of research it was found to be the only device that successfully passed the test of deflecting a wheel fired at it at 150mph. Halo is a wishbone-shaped titanium bar that sits on top of the cockpit of the car and wraps around the driver's head.

In the aftermath of his accident at the British Grand Prix, Alfa Romeo driver Guanyu Zhou tweeted to say the Halo cockpit protection device on his car had ...

The other major concern was the absence of the roll hoop on the car after it had come to a halt. The catch-fencing did its job remarkably well by preventing the car from flying into an area near marshal posts, photographers and a grandstand, but in stopping Zhou's car it also dropped into a tight gap behind the tyre barrier. The Halo became mandatory on Formula One cars in 2018 after years of FIA research into ways of better protecting a driver's head in open-cockpit racing.

The huge crash at the start of the British Grand Prix was a reminder of the danger Formula 1 drivers face, says Sergio Perez.

So just have a look and see if we are able to make this a safer sport for everyone.” “Well done to the FIA because we’ve come a long way,” he said. “When you hear people talking about putting a cap on the driver salaries, we are the ones taking all the risk out there, putting on the show,” he said.

Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu said the halo cockpit saved his life after a horrific crash during the British Grand Prix.

F1 originally intended to introduce halo cockpits to the sport in 2017, but the plan was delayed, citing the “relatively short timeframe” to implement the requirement. Since F1 is considered the the most prestigious racing series, many have looked to it to lead the way in this area, and in some ways it has. The concept leaked in 2015, following the death of IndyCar driver Justin Wilson during a race when his head was struck by debris.
