The 17th stop on this year’s Formula One world tour is the Suzuka Circuit for the Japanese Grand Prix, however, because of ‘Typhoon Hagibis’, there’s a strong chance that Saturday’s Qualifying session will have to be pushed back. All of this weekend’s action − Friday’s too − is set to take place in the very early hours, but highlights and replays will be shown later in the day.

Our guide explains how to catch this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix action, including channels and UK times for practice races, qualifying and, of course, the main event. Plus, how to live stream everything, no matter where in the world you are.

Worried that you might not be able to access Sky Go where you live? A common workaround is to use a VPN. If you’re not familiar with VPNs, they encrypt and anonymise your internet use and, crucially, can also allow you to appear as if you’re in a completely different country. And we’ve rounded up three of the best VPNs for streaming below:
