Following an intense qualifying session on Saturday evening, the stage is set for the title showdown at the Abu Dhabi GP between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, the only two F1 drivers who have consistently been at the top of the game since round 1 in Bahrain.

While many expected Hamilton to clinch pole position with ease, Verstappen pulled off a stunning Q3 lap to top the timesheets, leaving the Briton in P2. And we’re quite certain that there are more such surprises in store for Sunday’s main race.

So, missing out on the event is the last thing an F1 fan would want to do. Take a look at the broadcasting information and race start timings for most of the countries including the United Kingdom, United States, Spain, Portugal, Australia, India, and UAE.
