How to Stream the 2024 Australian Grand Prix
Find out how to watch the upcoming Australian Grand Prix and all the F1 races this season with ease.
F1 Returns with a Bang!
Get ready, racing fans! Formula 1 is back this weekend after a short break. In the last race at the Jeddah Corniche circuit, Max Verstappen and Red Bull dominated once again. But it wasn't just the usual suspects stealing the show. Newcomer Ollie Bearman made his F1 debut, filling in for Carlos Sainz who was out due to appendicitis. Bearman impressed with a seventh-place finish in his first-ever Formula 1 race. The championship standings are as expected, with Verstappen leading the pack, followed closely by teammate Sergio Perez and Ferrari's Charles LeClerc.
The Australian Grand Prix is up next, following the traditional race weekend format. Three practice sessions will be held across Friday and Saturday, leading up to the main event on Sunday, March 24th at 11:55 p.m ET (8:55 p.m PT). The race will take place at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne and will be broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPNPlus in the US.
