How to watch the Portuguese Grand Prix: Free, online, live stream and F1 TV

F1 returns to Portugal for the second year in succession as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen prepare to do battle once again.

Before last year's Covid-affected season, F1 had last visited Portugal in 1996 but after races in both Australia and China were postponed, the sport announced Portimão would once again feature this year.

The race proved popular last year with the undulating circuit providing a rollercoaster ride for drivers.

Hamilton stood on the top step of the podium last year to take his 92nd career victory and break the record previously held by Michael Schumacher.

This time around, Hamilton will face stiff competition from Max Verstappen. The drivers have one win each this season with the Mercedes driver topping the standings by just one point after setting the fastest lap at Imola.

In the midfield, McLaren and Ferrari have set the early pace but AlphaTauri, Aston Martin and Alpine will all be looking to strike back and prevent the points gap from widening further.
