How to watch the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix: Free, online, live stream and F1 TV

The 2021 Formula 1 season resumes with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen prepare to do battle for a second time.

Throughout pre-season testing and the majority of the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, Red Bull and Max Verstappen set the pace. The Dutchman topped all three practice sessions and secured pole in qualifying but it was Mercedes and Hamilton that came out on top on race day.

Across the opening weekend of the season, there was a lot of talk with regard to the rake concepts of different cars and how the aerodynamic changes for this year had affected teams.

Those running a high rake, including Red Bull and AlphaTauri, appeared to have been less affected by the changes whilst those with a low rake, including Mercedes and Aston Martin, more.

Imola and Bahrain are very different tracks and the three one hour practice sessions will be closely analysed to assess whether the picture painted in Bahrain is genuine, or there is more to the tale.

The timings of sessions on both Friday and Saturday have changed in recent days to respect the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip.
