For the first time in 15 years, three drivers will go into the final round of the Formula 1 world championship with a chance to win the title.
The last time the world championship went down to the final race, in 2021, F1 arranged for live free-to-air broadcasts in the home countries of the title contenders. It has not announced the same for this race, but if that changes the details below will be updated.
For viewers in the United States, this will be the last event shown on ESPN before coverage switches to Apple last year.
