How to watch the Bahrain Grand Prix online: stream F1 live for free
The Bahrain Grand Prix is among the glitziest, most enticing races of the Formula 1 season, with the green light erupting under dramatic sunset and the drivers racing into the black of night. The 2018 event has got all the earmarks of a potential F1 classic, and we can tell you how to live stream all the Bahrain Grand Prix action absolutely free.
The Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen were dominant in qualifying at Bahrain, with Lewis Hamilton starting in 9th after his five-place grid penalty. But the Great British defending champion will be determined to make amends for his second-place finish at the Australian Grand Prix last weekend. Expect some trademark daring overtaking manoeuvres from the off.
He'll have to get past the likes of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas and the powerful Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo first though. No easy task - not even for a driver of Hamilton's quality.
Thankfully, it's much simpler to watch the Bahrain Grand Prix from the comfort of your own TV, and on pretty much any device. Keep reading to find out how to live stream F1 coverage for free - wherever you are in the world.
