Formula 1 is back with the first race of the championship underway later today. The Bahrain Grand Prix is sure to be a fantastic start to the 2024 F1 schedule. If you’re keen to check out the F1 Bahrain live stream, you’re in luck. We’ve got everything you need to know about how to watch the Bahrain Grand Prix for free today, along with some insight on what to do if you’re traveling.

How to watch Bahrain Grand Prix for free

If you’re based in Austria or Luxembourg, you can check out the Bahrain Grand Prix for free along with all of the 75th F1 World Championship. That’s thanks to there being free streams through ORF in Austria and RTL Zwee in Luxembourg. If you’re from either country and traveling abroad, you can still access these by using a VPN like NordPN (one of the best VPNs). It’s a good solution for ensuring you can catch the race in your first language rather than being stuck with it in English. It’s entirely safe and legal to do so for residents of the country in question.

If you’re in the US and want to stream it in English, you can sign up for a Fubo free trial. The streaming service is perfect for sports fans with plenty of options including ESPN which is the channel showing the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Fubo free trial lasts seven days so there’s plenty of time to see what else it has to offer with dozens of channels to choose from. Just remember to cancel it before the free trial ends so you don’t pay a cent. Fubo has sports channels like CBS Sports Network, NFL Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, Fox Sports, along with dozens of other TV channels to suit your mood.

How to Watch The Last of Us for Free

HBO Max is a paid streaming platform available for $10 per month or $100 per year, and there's no free trial available if you sign up for the service directly -- but there is another way. To watch The Last of Us for free, simply sign up through Amazon Prime Video and take advantage of the free seven-day trial offered to new HBO Max subscribers. This is easy enough to do: Just go to the Prime Video page and sign in to your Amazon account. Then, search for "HBO Max" and select the option to subscribe. Follow the prompts to create your account and start your free trial. Once your trial is activated, you're all set to start streaming The Last of Us for free along with any other content available on HBO Max for one week before you have to pay (although you still need an active Prime Video subscription to get the trial, just to be clear). Just remember to cancel your subscription before the end of the seven-day trial if you don't want to be charged for HBO Max.

The reviews are in for Furiosa, and critics say it’s a ‘visceral triumph’
Is Furiosa worth seeing in theaters?
Anya Taylor-Joy in Furiosa.

Almost a decade after director George Miller last ventured into the wasteland with Mad Max: Fury Road, the director is back with Furiosa. An explicit prequel to Fury Road, Furiosa stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular character, who was played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road. While plot details are still somewhat scarce, we know that the movie is set 15 years before the events of Fury Road, and that it co-stars Chris Hemsworth as a warlord named Dementus.

The movie is set to hit theaters on May 24, and in advance of its release, we're starting to get a sense of its critical response. While formal reviews have not yet been published, social media responses are now live, and they're overwhelmingly positive.
