F1: When And How To Watch The Bahrain Grand Prix
The 2024 season is here!
The Bahrain Grand Prix will kick off later this week with the on-track action starting on Thursday. The first two races of the 2024 season are set to take place on Saturdays rather than the usual Sunday format.
Pre-season testing wrapped up last week with Red Bull and Ferrari putting in the fastest times across the three days. However, it is worth noting that the lap times during pre-season testing are not fully representative due to teams running with various different set-ups and fuel loads. So, this coming weekend will be the first time fans will be able to get a good idea of the performance of each team heading into the season.
Here is how to watch all of the on-track action for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
