In Formula 1, the first race weekend of the 2021 season is coming up. At SPOX you can find out how you can follow the qualifying of the Bahrain Grand Prix live on TV, live stream and live ticker.
The waiting is over! Formula 1 is returning from its brief hibernation this weekend.
The 2021 season is very interesting, especially from a German point of view. Mick Schumacher, the son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher, is driving his first Formula 1 season with Team Haas. Sebastian Vettel is now trying his luck at Aston Martin after unsuccessful years at Ferrari.
How will the two Germans fare this year? Is Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton the inviolable number one again? Can Max Verstappen have an important say in the fight for the world championship title at Red Bull this year? The first race weekend in Bahrain will provide the first answers to these questions.
Before qualifying, the 3rd free practice will take place at 1 p.m.
