Coming hot on the heels of last month's absorbing season opener in Bahrain, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton enter into battle once more on the winding circuit of Imola in Italy. Read on to find out how to get an Emilia Romagna Grand Prix live stream and watch the F1 action from anywhere in the world.

The gripping climax of the Bahrain GP saw Verstappen take first place from Hamilton, only to have to hand back the lead after accepting he had overtaken the English driver by running off the track.

With the Dutchman now at the wheel of what looks like the faster car, can Hamilton keep him at bay once more on this iconic circuit? Read on for full details on how to get a live stream of the 2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix with our guide below.
