F1 Eifel Grand Prix practice: UK start time, live stream, TV channel and schedule from Nurburgring

FORMULA ONE returns to Germany this weekend and the iconic Nurburgring.

Lewis Hamilton leads the Drivers Championship by 44 points from teammate Valterri Bottas, who claimed victory last time out in Russia.

There was no German Grand Prix initially on this year’s calendar, following Hockenheim’s omission for 2020 – but this race has been included in the new-look schedule after the Covid-19 pandemic caused havoc.
