Finally, the world's premier auto racing series is back. Formula 1 is returning from its time away due to the global pandemic, and cars are back on the track. First up? The Austrian Grand Prix on July 5.

This time last year there were eight races already under the drivers' belts. But the 2020 season never got a single green flag thanks to COVID-19. The Australian Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix were canceled outright. Others were postponed.

That makes this weekend's race all the more important.

But when drivers hit the track, they'll be doing so just like other sports — without any fans in the stands.

Here's what you need to know going into this weekend's event:

ESPN is available on pretty much every major streaming service, including Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV Now, and Sling TV. (And it's coming soon to FuboTV .)
