Formula One: News, Schedules and How to Follow from Africa

Formula One moves fast on and off the track. Here you’ll find quick race reports, driver and team updates, simple weekend guides, and practical tips for African viewers who want to catch every lap without chasing scattered sources.

On this tag page we collect all F1 stories across African EduNews Tree. Expect race recaps, transfer rumours, technical updates, and local angles that matter to fans in Africa. We add fresh posts after every major session so you get the result and what it means for the title race.

What a race weekend looks like

A typical F1 weekend has three practice sessions, a qualifying session, and the race. Practice helps teams tune the car. Qualifying decides the starting order. The main race is on Sunday and is usually the longest session.

Times change by venue, but most races fall into midday to evening for African viewers. Use the official F1 calendar and convert the local start times to your time zone. If you live in West Africa, add one hour to GMT. In southern and parts of eastern Africa, use South African Standard Time, two hours ahead of GMT. Setting a phone reminder for qualifying and the race is the easiest way not to miss them.

How to watch and follow live

Broadcasters and streaming rights vary by country. F1 TV Pro streams many races live and offers on-board cameras and replays, but coverage can be blocked in some regions. Check local sports channels and streaming platforms in your country. Follow official F1 social accounts for highlights and live clips when you can’t watch the whole race.

Want play-by-play? The F1 app and many sports sites offer live timing, sector times, and pit stop info. Live timing lets you see lap-by-lap gaps and tyre choices, which explains why a driver gains or loses time during a stint.

New to F1 terms? Keep this quick glossary handy: DRS lets a trailing car reduce drag for a pass; Pole is the fastest qualifier; Pit stop is when teams change tyres or repair damage; Safety Car slows the field after an incident; Sprint is a shorter race used to set the grid at some events.

Looking for more local content? We highlight African reactions, interviews with regional fans, and stories that show how F1 matters here. If you organise or know of viewing parties, local driver development programs, or junior motorsport events, send us a tip and we may feature it.
