F1 Australian Grand Prix 2024: full TV schedule and times

After two short weeks of rest, the 2024 Formula 1 season is back on track this weekend on the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne, Australia. An event to follow on Canal+ channels.

But who will stop Max Verstappen? This is the question we can ask ourselves, after the Red Bull driver’s two big victories during the first two Grand Prix.

His competitors Carlos Sainz Jr., Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will have to raise their level if they want to avoid (both themselves and the public around the world) a new season marked by the hegemony of the Dutch driver.

Note that this race takes place in Australia… and is therefore broadcast during the night from Saturday to Sunday in France! So set your alarm clocks!
