2024 F1 United States Grand Prix qualifying time, TV channel, live stream details as drivers aim for pole on the grid

Formula One is back this week after a nearly month-long break, traveling to Austin, Texas for the United States Grand Prix on Sunday.

With only six races left in the season, things are heating up in the diving championship race. Lando Norris won the last GP in Singapore, reducing the gap to leader Max Verstappen to 52 points.

Verstappen has not won a race since the Spanish Grand Prix in June and is hoping to be back at the top of the podium at the US Grand Prix, where he is the three-time defending champion.

The 2024 United States Grand Prix weekend is just hours away from first practice, and for all the scheduling, TV and streaming details you need to follow the action, look no further The Sports News for complete instructions.
