What channel is Formula 1 on today? TV schedule, start time for 2021 Styrian Grand Prix

Home sweet home.

Red Bull Racing has been on something of a heater lately: With Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez taking home top-row finishes in the last three races, they get a bit of home-cooking this weekend, with the Styrian Grand Prix taking place at Red Bull Ring in Austria.

The first seven races of the season have both been routine and not: While Lewis Hamilton is still in the mix — and it's still early on — it's been Verstappen who's taken the lead in the world driver's championship, opening up a 12-point lead over second place Mercedes driver.

Racing two weeks in a row at Red Bull Ring could favor the Red Bull racers. Verstappen, who finished third in the Styrian GP in 2020, could use some more podium finishes to help pad up his lead. 

It's the first of two in a row at Austria. Here's what you need to know about this week's F1 race:

What time does the F1 race start today?

• Date: Sunday, June 27

The 9 a.m. ET start time for Sunday's race means the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix will start at 3:00 p.m. local time. The on-the-hour start time means lights out will likely take place just after 9 a.m. ESPN's pre-race show usually airs in the hour prior to the start of the race.
