Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel took first place at the Australian GP two weeks ago, despite looking a little shaky in practice, while Lewis Hamilton came second, despite stunning everybody with his times in qualifying. And so we move on Bahrain, and the second race of the 2018 calendar. Here’s our guide on how to catch the action from the UK, including channels and times for practice races, qualifying and, of course, the main event.

Bahrain GP: How to watch the race onlineIf you’re a Sky subscriber, you can tune in – in 4K, no less – on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports F1. You can also catch the action by using the Sky Go mobile app, at no additional charge. You can also keep up with the action online through the All 4 website, and on your mobile with the All 4 app for both iOS and Android.
And finally, if you’re not a Sky customer, but desperately don’t want to miss a moment of the action, you can pick up a NOW TV Sports Pass, which will set you back either £6.99 (for a Day Pass) or £10.99 (for a Week Pass). The Week Pass is obviously the best value for F1 fans, especially if you’re planning to watch everything that goes down from Thursday to Sunday.
Liberty Media have been forced to postpone the initial roll-out of their new streaming service F1 TV, which will not be available for the Bahrain Grand Prix. Germany, France, USA, Mexico, Belgium, Austria, Hungary and much of Latin America are due to be the first to experience the new over-the-top platform, giving fans access to every Formula 1 session and press conference, as well full access to the Formula 2 Championship, GP3 Series and Porsche Supercup.
