How to watch Bahrain Grand Prix: Live stream F1 online

Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Sergio Perez are back on the track as the 2021 Formula One season kicks off in the Middle East. Read on to find out how to get a Bahrain Grand Prix live stream and watch the F1 action from anywhere in the world.

The floodlit track of the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir kicks is the setting for the opening installment of the new campaign which sees Mercedes looking to add to their historic run of seven consecutive titles.

Early pre-season testing however suggests it could be a much more difficult challenge for Hamilton and his team this time out, with Mercedes said to be putting in disappointing numbers.

In contrast, rivals Red Bull's cars look to have an edge, leading to optimism among fans that we may be in store for a close fight between Hamilton and both Verstappen and Perez this time out.

Meanwhile, AlphaTauri and McLaren have also posted good numbers in the run up to Sunday's season opener, meaning it could be a more open field this year than many had anticipated.

The new season also welcomes back some familiar names to the championship, with two-time champ Fernando Alonso returning in colors of Alpine (formerly Renault) after spending two years in IndyCar racing, while F2 champion Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time F1 champion Michael will this year be turning out for Haas.

Read on for full details on how to get a live stream of the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix with our guide below.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit.

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival.
