Connect to a country that airs F1 for free, go to their broadcaster’s site, and stream away.

These countries show the race for free:

How to watch RTBF from anywhere

2. Install it — on your phone, laptop, tablet, smart TV, whatever.
3. Connect to Belgium.
4. Visit RTBF.be and look for the live F1 stream.
5. Enjoy. No ads. No geo-blocks. No nonsense.
