After the controversial conclusion to last season, there are more eyes on this year's F1 championship than ever. Can Lewis Hamilton make up for that last lap disappointment or will Max Verstappen win the championship again to further cement his place in history?
Of course, there could even be a shock contender at the top, with several drivers having switched teams, Ferrari suddenly right back in the mixer and George Russell gaining a seat at Mercedes.
So how can you watch it unfold? What races are still to go on the calendar and will it all be broadcast in 4K UHD? How about HDR? Find out here.
