Bahrain Grand Prix 2024: How to watch F1 live on TV and online

F1 is back, and there’s been enough drama in the off-season to fill an actual season of racing.

And the 2024 season will be the longest in F1 history with 24 races (bar any cancellations) scheduled for the year.

With Red Bull’s latest contender just as confident as its predecessor, the odds are strong that Max Verstappen will once again be putting the manners (and laps) on his closest rivals.

Ferrari and Mercedes look likely to be challenging for the spots behind Red Bull, with the Prancing Horse buoyed by taking the most successful driver in F1 history off Mercedes hands… for the 2025 season.

There’ll be plenty of subplots as the season winds its way around the world, ending in Abu Dhabi in early December. Here’s how to watch the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix.
