What Programming is on the Formula One Channel?

If you want to recapture the thrill of victory or catch up on the early morning races you missed out on, the Formula One Channel offers full race replays all season long. Beyond the high speed Grand Prix races, the channel also has replays of practice highlights, qualifying rounds, and pre- and post-race shows. F1 races will premiere on the Formula One Channel the weekend after they’re run.

That means the next race to premiere will be the 2025 British Grand Prix, which took place on July 6. In that race – SPOILER ALERT – McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finished first and second, respectively, continuing McLaren’s remarkable surge to the top of the Constructor’s standings. Perhaps most surprising, Nico Hülkenberg of Kick Sauber made his first podium in 239 races by finishing third. For the first time ever, the top three drivers were awarded special trophies made of LEGO at the conclusion of the race, which they’ll be allowed to keep.

Other programming on the Formula One Channel includes documentaries on F1 legends like Michael Schumacher, classic races from years past, highlights from F2 and F1 Racing Academy, and full season recaps.
