How to follow a race weekend from Africa

Not sure when practice, qualifying and the race start? Most weekends run: practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday, race on Sunday. Times change by time zone, so check local TV listings or the official F1 app for exact kick-offs.

Where to watch: look for local broadcasters that carry F1 in your country, or use F1 TV for live timing, onboard cameras and full race streams where available. If live TV isn’t an option, live text commentary and radio feeds are great low-data alternatives.

Smart following: use the official F1 app for live timing and sector splits. Follow teams and drivers on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram for quick pit-lane updates and behind-the-scenes clips. Want instant context? Open a race recap here after the checkered flag — we highlight the turning points so you don’t miss the story.

Fantasy and bets: pick drivers who do well in qualifying or tracks that suit aggressive overtakers if you need points. Check tyre wear and weather in our previews — those two things swing races more than people expect.

Why Desert Rose Daily covers F1: we bring race stories with an eye for African viewers — clearer time info, broadcast options in the region, and callouts to drivers or events with local relevance. Bookmark this tag to stay updated daily without scrolling through long articles.
