The 2024 F1 season returns from a two-week break with the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, getting underway at 3 p.m. local time (AEDT).
Three-time world champion Max Verstappen has begun the defence of his three-peat of titles in typically dominant fashion, winning the first two races of 2024 by over 10 seconds in each.
Red Bull secured the top two podium places in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to open the new season, and they’re already building up a lead in the constructors’ championship despite the efforts of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, who have finished third in each of the two races so far this year.
For all the scheduling, TV and streaming details for the third race of the 2024 F1 season, The Sporting News has you covered.
