Formula 1: 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix Worldwide Broadcast, Broadband and Radio Info

The Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, the fourth race of the 2013 Formula 1 season, takes place on one of the series' most challenging courses. That would be the 5.412 km Bahrain International Circuit. As is always the case when racing in Bahrain, it will be the heat that will tax both drivers and the cars.

The temperature at race time on Sunday in Sakhir will be near 90 degrees (31 C) and there be winds gusting up to 15 miles per hour. So that means the track temperatures will be well over 100 degrees, causing concern that the drivers can stay both hydrated and focused.      

NBC Sports Network offers race coverage starting 7:30 a.m ET on Sunday, April 21. They will begin with The Formula One Pre-Race Show and then at 8 a.m. ET they will have live coverage of the 2013 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.   

The Formula 1 broadcast team led by announcer Leigh Diffey, along with analysts David Hobbs and Steve Matchett, will be on set in the studio calling the race. Will Buxton, F1 insider and former journalist, will serve as the team’s on-site reporter from Sakhir.

Broadband live streaming of the race can be found at the NBC Sports website with lap-by-lap timing offered at the Formula 1 website.
