F1 practice live stream: How to watch Bahrain GP practice

The 2022 Formula 1 season is finally here with the first bout of F1 practice for the Bahrain GP putting the cars, teams and drivers on display.

After a controversial finish to the last F1 season and a long offseason in the books, Formula 1 is back with another running of the Bahrain GP.

The Bahrain International Circuit will play host to the first race of the 2022 season as Max Verstappen looks to defend his Drivers’ Championship and Lewis Hamilton aims to get revenge for the way he missed out on his record title.

We’ve seen preseason testing, but the practice sessions in Bahrain will be the first real opportunity to see the cars each team is bringing to the table as they intend to unleash them in the main event.

Fortunately for fans, it’s easy to tune in this year.
