How to watch 2024 F1 pre-season testing in the USA
The F1 cars are set to return to the track for pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit on February 21-23. This comes just a week before the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix scheduled for February 29-March 2, indicating the start of preparations for the upcoming campaign. The anticipation for the 2024 season has been building up as teams reveal their liveries and news like Lewis Hamilton’s surprising move to Ferrari for 2025 emerge. With Red Bull’s dominant performance in 2023, winning 21 of 22 grands prix with Max Verstappen, Mercedes aims to close the gap in 2024. It remains to be seen in testing whether Red Bull and Verstappen will maintain their superiority or if a surprise team will emerge as a strong contender. American viewers can only watch the pre-season testing through F1TV as ESPN will not broadcast the three days of action.
