The Formula 1 season is in full swing and this weekend it is already time for the Grand Prix of Austria. The race can be viewed for free with a VPN. We tell you how you do that.
You can watch Grand Prix from Austria for free
This weekend Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and all other drivers can be found in Austria. On the home circuit of Redbull Racing, Verstappen has already managed to win four times and is therefore the record holder. Could he make five wins and get in again on both McLarens?
We’re going to see it, but then of course you have to be able to watch the race. In the Netherlands, Formula 1 can only be viewed via expensive paid streaming services. Fortunately it can be cheaper. Go for a (much cheaper) VPN and you look abroad, where Formula 1 is still broadcast on TV for free. For example, SurfShark only costs you 2.19 euros per month, is safe and offers even more benefits. We will tell you everything about it.
Look cheaper Formula 1: This is how it works
In countries such as Austria, Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland, F1 races are broadcast on free channels. Install the Surfshark app, choose a VPN server in one of these countries and then go to the website or app of the channel on which it is broadcast in that country to start the live stream. If you want to watch the race on your TV, use AirDrop for example to send the image.
Please note: the commentary with these streams is usually not in Dutch or English, but in German or French (depending on the country you choose). Do you still want to hear Dutch comments? Then turn on Grand Prix Radio via the free app from the App Store, so that you listen to the familiar voice of Olav Mol while watching.
Below you will find an overview of channels where you can watch Formula 1 for free:
- Austria: Servus TV or ORF (German);
- Switzerland: SRF (Zwitserfuits);
- Belgium: RTBF (French);
- Luxembourg: RTL Zwee (Letzeburgs).
More benefits of a VPN: expand supply of streaming services, privacy protection and more
A VPN ensures that your data is encrypted, so that your data remains safe. This also includes your location. The site that you use will see that you are in the country that you have selected instead of the Netherlands. Sensitive data will not be in the wrong hands and you prevent you from being hacked.
In addition to the advantage that you can now watch Formula 1 for free abroad, there is more. In this way you look even more sports in this way and you also take a look between the range of streaming services abroad. There are often series and films that we do not have in the Netherlands. Your coming summer vacation will be cheaper by booking your flight through a site in a country with lower prices.
Surfshark Everlink: Always a working connection
The moment Formula 1 can be seen, it is of course busy on the servers. With this in mind, Surfshark Everlink came up with. This patented technology ensures that you always have a working connection. If the connection accidentally falls away due to the crowds, Everlink will ensure a backup connection and you do not even realize that there were problems.
