After taking the chequered flag last time out in Monaco, Red Bull's Max Verstappen will be looking to make it three race wins in a row at the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix this weekend. 

The Dutch driver claimed his fifth victory of the season last time out in Monaco and he'll look to take a further stranglehold of this season's World Drivers' Championship standings with another win here on the outskirts of Barcelona.

Fan favourite Fernando Alonso will be keen to take top spot during his home race though, whilst Verstappen's Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez will also be keen to get back to winning ways at the Circuit de Catalunya. 

For all the details on how to watch the F1 action in India this weekend, The Sporting News has you covered.

As a result, no TV broadcast network is currently set to host the action throughout this year.
