The 2024 F1 World Championship started on Saturday 2 March with the Bahrain GP, the first stage of a championship that promises to be very long, exciting and exciting. The season of the top automotive category began on the Sakhir circuit, where the drivers competed head-on for victories, podium finishes and points. 24 Grands Prix are planned (with the addition of six Sprint Races), which will keep us company until Sunday 8 December.
