Channel 4 F1 highlights today: How to watch the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix FREE in the UK

The F1 Spanish Grand Prix makes its first visit to the new Madring circuit today (September 13) and Channel 4 have free TV coverage of the big race in the UK.

The brand new 5.416km circuit - complete with 22 corners and that spectacular banked La Monumental curve - is expected to provide plenty of thrills and spills.

Lewis Hamilton is looking to bounce back after that miserable weekend for Ferrari in Monza while championship leader Kimi Antonelli just wants more of the same after that brilliant victory from a P19 grid slot in his home Italian Grand Prix.

McLaren's Lando Norris starts from pole, just ahead of Antonelli, with Hamilton in P4 on the grid (you can check out the full amended grid order with all penalties).

C4 have you covered for free coverage in the UK, and we have full details.
