Good news, the race is broadcast in the clear this Sunday, as confirmed by the Canal channel. No need for a subscription this time since the Grand Prix will be accessible to everyone on Canal. Two weeks after his victory in Bahrain, coupled with a Red Bull double, Max Verstappen faces a completely different challenge since, victim of an engine problem in qualifying, the Dutchman will start only from 15th place on the urban track but super fast from Jeddah. Pole position went to his Mexican teammate Sergio Perez, who already took pole last year on the same circuit. At what time to follow the departure and on which channel? Here is the full program below.
6 p.m. French time is the time when the starting grid lights will go out, giving the “go” to the 20 drivers entered. The time difference is two hours with Jeddah where it will therefore be 8 p.m. and night has already fallen. It is under the spotlights and in a falling temperature that this race will take place.
