How to follow races from Africa

Watching live in Africa is easy if you know where to check. Rights vary by country, so first look at local sports channels like SuperSport or national broadcasters. If you prefer streaming, the F1 TV Pro service often offers live races, onboard cameras, and live timing where it's available. Remember: some streams are geo-restricted, so check your region before race day.

Race weekend basics: Free practice sessions usually run on Friday, qualifying is on Saturday and decides grid positions, and the race is on Sunday. Local start times will shift with time zones—use a reliable world-clock app and set alerts for the formation lap so you don’t miss the start.

Follow live timing and radio for the best real-time insight. The official F1 app gives lap times, pit-stop windows, and tyre choices. Combine that with team radio clips and post-session interviews to understand why a team made a call during the race.

If you’re into betting or fantasy leagues, check recent form, tyre wear on similar tracks, and how teams performed in recent sprint events. Small details—like a team’s wet-weather record or a driver’s late-braking strength—can make a big difference.
