F1: When And How To Watch The Australian Grand Prix
The Australian Grand Prix race week is upon us with the teams and drivers already arriving in Melbourne.
Going into the third round of the 2024 season, Max Verstappen will be looking to continue his winning streak after securing both victories in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Verstappen's Red Bull teammate, Sergio Perez, has been closely following the Dutch driver with second-place finishes in both of the opening races.
Ferrari reserve driver Ollie Bearman replaced Carlos Sainz in Saudi Arabia after requiring surgery for appendicitis. It is currently not clear as to whether the Spanish driver will be able to drive this weekend or if Bearman will stand in once again.
The 2023 Australian Grand Prix was chaotic from start to finish with three red flags and dramatic race re-starts. Verstappen took the win in 2023 followed by Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso who crossed the line in second and third, respectively.
