Australia: the TV program
The 2019 season is underway! After several weeks of waiting, Formula 1 is back. You'll need to be an early riser if you want to follow the entirety of this first Grand Prix in Australia, time difference obliges.
Australia is hosting the inaugural round of this 2019 season, as has been customary since 1996, when the first Grand Prix in Melbourne was won by British driver Damon Hill in his Williams-Renault, after a spectacular performance by the young Jacques Villeneuve, who was competing in his first Formula 1 race.
Motors Inside offers you an overview of the important data from the Australian Grand Prix and a precise TV schedule for this weekend down under. Please note that due to the significant time difference, many sessions will take place during the night and early morning for Europe.
Special event for this new year and the 998th Grand Prix in history, Liberty Media plans to broadcast on its Formula 1 website and on the Facebook and YouTube pages of the discipline, a live launch ceremony from Melbourne with the presence of the 10 teams and 20 drivers. Be sure to be in front of your screens at 6:00 AM this Wednesday morning!
Our inaugural Season Launch event is gonna be an absolute ripper 🔥
