How to watch F1 online free with a VPN
TV channels in various countries across the Europe, including Austria and Belgium, show Formula 1 coverage live – but if you try to access them from the UK, you’ll find their content is ‘geo-restricted’ and blocked.
However, if you download a VPN you can bypass this issue by routing your internet activity through a server that’s based in one of these countries.
Download a VPN such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN to your streaming device.
Load up the VPN, and select a server based in either Austria or Belgium.
On the device, head to either Servus TV (Austria) or RTBF (Belgium).
Search for Formula 1, sit back, and enjoy the racing.
It’s really that simple – and yes, using a VPN to access streaming content abroad is 100% legal.
However, we want emphasise that if you’re overseas and you want to watch any live UK TV abroad, you need to have a UK TV license, regardless of the channel.
