Bahrain Grand Prix: TV schedule
F1 makes its return in 2021 with an unusual 1st leg in Bahrain from March 26 to 28. Motors Inside presents the TV program and timetable so you don't miss any of the sessions.

The Bahrain Grand Prix is the first race of the season for 2021. Indeed, the health restrictions related to Covid-19 forced the organizers of the Australian Grand Prix to postpone the event scheduled in Melbourne.
The start of the season is therefore on the international circuit of Bahrain, located in the middle of the desert and regularly sprinkled with sand, as observed during the preseason tests. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the track was inaugurated in 2004.
Just like MotoGP, the official French broadcaster Canal + is offering you the inaugural race of 2021 for free. So tune in to the encrypted channel from 5pm this Sunday, March 28th for the 1st Grand Prix of the season. The MotoGP race will follow at 7pm.
