    F1 USA Grand Prix: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, practice and qualifying for American race

    THE USA Grand Prix is finally upon us as Max Verstappen looks to round off the F1 season in style. The Dutchman wrapped up his second consecutive title two weeks ago at the Japanese Grand Prix.

    There are just four races left, and this time it’s the turn of the Americans to put on a showpiece event.
    Verstappen’s rivals Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have been nowhere near the champ all season, so they’ll be out to score some consolation points.
    But Red Bull’s No 1 driver will be looking to remain dominant as ever in Texas.
    Verstappen won the USA Grand Prix last year and it’s likely the 25-year-old will repeat.
    When is the F1 USA Grand Prix?

    The F1 USA Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, October 23.
    The race will get underway from 8pm UK time.
    It will be held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
    Practice gets going from 8pm on Friday, October 21.
    Qualifying will start at 11pm on Saturday, October 22.

    What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

    The F1 USA Grand Prix will be shown live on Sky Sports F1.
    You can live stream the action from the Sky Go or NOW TV apps, both of which are available for download onto your mobile tablet device.
