F1 race alerts in Telegram: practice, qualifying and the race
Follow Formula 1 and get a Telegram message before each session of a Grand Prix weekend, and the result when it is done.
A weekend is three things, not one
A Grand Prix is not a single event, and the alerts reflect that: practice, qualifying and the race are separate sessions with separate start times, and Veentry can tell you about each one. Qualifying alone is the setting most people end up on — it is the session that is easy to miss and worth watching live.
Each session comes with a start alert and a result alert, so you can ask for the qualifying result without being told when practice begins. A weekend can be one message or six, depending on how you set it.
Setting up a Formula 1 follow
Open the Formula 1 page and tap Follow. The page carries the season's Grand Prix weekends, so you can see what is coming before you commit to alerts about it.
Then pick the sessions. Race start and race result is the minimum useful pair; add qualifying if you watch it, and practice only if you follow the sport closely enough to want it.
Where to start
Formula 1 is the discipline page; the motorsport sector above it is where other series appear as they are added. Times land in your own timezone, which matters more here than in any other sport — the calendar spans every continent and half the races start at an hour that is not local to anyone watching.
The page is public: open it and check the next weekend's sessions before following.
FAQ
Can I get alerts for qualifying only?
Yes. Practice, qualifying and the race are separate alert types, each with a start and a result, so you can take qualifying and leave the rest.
Are the times in my timezone?
Yes. Every time in Veentry is rendered in the timezone from your preferences, which is detected on your first visit and changeable in settings. For a calendar that spans Melbourne to Las Vegas, that is the difference between a useful alert and a wrong one.
Which series are covered?
Formula 1 today. The motorsport sector page is where anything added later will appear, and following the sector rather than the series is how you pick that up automatically.
