The 2024 Formula 1 season kicked off with the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 3rd. As the first race of the calendar, there was a lot of anticipation and speculation around how the teams and drivers would perform with the new regulations and car designs.
The Bahrain International Circuit has hosted F1 since 2004 and always provides some exciting wheel-to-wheel action. With three long straights and a mix of slow and fast corners, there are good opportunities for overtaking around the 5.412km track.
In the UK, fans can watch the Bahrain Grand Prix live on Sky Sports F1 or Channel 4. Sky will be showing every practice, qualifying, and race session from start to finish. Channel 4 has free-to-air rights for qualifying highlights and the race itself. Alternatively, dedicated F1 fans are turning to F1 Streams on various websites and social media to get free live streams of sessions.
