The F1 practice schedule for the Imola Grand Prix is a little bit different this week with sprint qualifying. Here’s when and where to watch.

F1 practice live stream: How to watch Imola GP practice
Watching practice this week is easy with all sessions on ESPN 2. However, the schedule doesn’t follow a conventional layout.
On Friday, Free Practice 1 will be followed by Sprint Qualifying. Then Saturday will begin with Free Practice 2 before the Sprint Race begins. That will be on ESPN.
For those trying to catch practice on their smart device or TV, jump over to Watch ESPN to watch the live stream. Of course, you’ll need a television service provider log in to get access.
If you’ve cut the cord or don’t have a TV provider, fear not. You can tune in via Fubo TV with their seven-day free trial.
