United States Grand Prix 2021: Start time, TV, live stream

F1 returns to the United States after last year's cancellation with the championship battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton finely poised.

The 2020 running of the US GP was one of a number of events lost through the coronavirus pandemic.

Although Hamilton has been victorious six times in the US, five times at COTA and once at Indianapolis, he has not topped the podium on either of F1's last two visits.

Both Hamilton and Verstappen have taken engine penalties in recent weeks but concern remains over Mercedes' reliability with Toto Wolff conceding to potential "batch problems" in Turkey.

Verstappen and Hamilton will start on the front row alongside each other after the Dutchman took pole in an intense qualifying session. Will there be fireworks at turn one?
