It’s America’s flagship race. It’s full of history. It’s really fast. And all live on Sky Sports F1!

Don’t miss one of the biggest events in motorsport this weekend as the 106th round of the Indianapolis 500 takes place – with 33 drivers all eager to achieve a milestone victory around the famous 2.5-mile oval.

Sky Sports F1 is your home for all the action on Sunday – and we also have a very special build-up show in store McLaren Formula 1 star Lando Norris joins Tom Gaymor and Natalie Pinkham from Sky F1 at the McLaren Technology Center 3.45 p.m. look ahead to the big race.

The green light for the intense 200-lap and 500-mile race is then there 5.45 p.m.



Prepare for another fireworks display this weekend as a highly competitive Indy car season hits the brickyard with plenty of competition for the Indy 500.

Scott Dixon, the championship leader, will be on pole position. Dixon has four Indy 500 poles, but only one win – back in 2008.

Dixon starts in the front row in front of two of IndyCar’s best young talents and is the combined age of American Colton Herta (21) and Dutchman Rinus Veekay (20).

The top three rows are responsible for six Indy 500 wins and eight series championships among four drivers, with Tony Kanaan, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Heli Castroneves all in the top nine, rounded out by ex-F1 driver Marcus Ericsson.

Alexander Rossi should be quick from 10th onwards, while Arrow McLaren will hope to build on the growing IndyCar dynamic – with three drivers registered for Sunday’s race.

They are Pato O’Ward (12th), Felix Rosenqvist (14th) and returning Colombian legend Juan Pablo Montoya (24th) aiming for a third Indy 500 win.

Last year’s winner Takuma Sato starts in 15th place.

The last training session – called “Carb Day” – will take place on Friday, May 28th and will be live on Sky F1 from 4pm, as drivers and teams prepare for the race two days later.
