Formula 1 broadcasts old Grand Prix again this weekend on Youtube and Facebook
- GPblog.com
Just like last week, Formula 1 will broadcast a classic Grand Prix on Youtube and Facebook this weekend. They will do this as a 'replacement' for the actual races that have been cancelled this season. This classic race is therefore free for everyone to watch.
Last weekend they chose to broadcast the 2016 Brazilian Grand Prix, the race that was finally won by Lewis Hamilton, but became famous mainly for the fantastic driving of Max Verstappen. Here the Dutchman established his reputation as rain king and his performance was compared to those of Ayrton Senna at the time.
So this weekend the F1 will show another modern classic. A race that proved that you don't need rain or a lot of cars at all to show an exciting spectacle. It is the Grand Prix of Bahrain 2014. The race in which Mercedes teammates Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton challenged each other to the limit for the first time. It would be the format for a duel that lasted for three years.
SATURDAY: 1500 GMT
