The Formula 1 season is starting again, but to watch in the Netherlands you need a subscription to a streaming service. This is quite pricey, so luckily there is a way to make it look cheaper.
Watch Formula 1 for only 1.59 euros
Max, Lando and the other drivers have been testing the new cars for a while, but the first real race is scheduled for the weekend of March 6 to 8. This takes place in Australia on the Albert Park Street Circuit. Due to the new designs of the F1 spheres, everything may be different compared to previous years.
In the Netherlands, Formula 1 has only been available for a number of years if you have a subscription to a streaming service. This can be an expensive joke, but fortunately there is another way to watch the entire season cheaply: via a VPN. The cheapest at the moment is VPN Netherlands, which has a promotion especially for F1 fans. You pay for one year only 1.59 euros per month. In total this is only 23.85 euros.
This is how you stream Formula 1 via a VPN
Formula 1 can still be seen abroad on various local channels. There are geo-blocks on this, so that you can only see the channel if you are in that country. With a VPN you ‘move’ your location. This makes it appear to the website as if you are in the country in question.
- Download the VPN Netherlands app on your phone or other device and sign in.
- Choose a server in a country where Formula 1 is broadcast for free, such as:
- Austria (Servus TV or ORF)
- Switzerland (SRF)
- Belgium (RTBF)
- Luxembourg (RTL Zwee)
- Go to the website of the broadcaster in the chosen country and find the live stream.
- Stream the race on your device.
More benefits of a VPN
Besides the fact that you can watch Formula 1 cheaply via a VPN, this is not the only advantage. A VPN is especially useful for protecting your data. These are sent encrypted via the VPN party’s server to the website you want to visit. Your data is thus converted into a code that cannot simply be cracked.
In addition, more sports can be viewed abroad for free, but you can also take out subscriptions cheaper or book your holiday for next summer cheaper. In countries that are less prosperous, you can also book most flights, but for a lower price. Are you going on holiday and want to watch your favorite series, but it is not on the streaming service in that country? Then set the VPN to the Netherlands and watch the next episode.
About VPN Netherlands
As you might have expected from the name, VPN Netherlands is a Dutch company. The advantage of this is that customer service simply speaks Dutch. It is available at any hour of the day, for seven days. If you have problems when a Formula 1 race is in progress, you will be helped immediately.
With some VPNs you will notice that you have slower internet when you use them, but the internet speeds of VPN Netherlands are nice and high. This means you have almost no problems with buffering. The company cannot view, collect or store your data anywhere. So you don’t have to worry about your privacy at all.
Now you’re probably thinking: “There are also VPNs that I can use for free,” but that is not wise. These companies often collect your data and that is the price you pay for the service. And with 1.59 euros per month you can better stay on the safe side by choosing VPN Netherlands.
