In a little while the Formula 1 spectacle breaks loose again. In the weekend of March 14, the first F1 race is on the calendar in Melbourne Australia. iPhoned Explains how it is best to follow Formula 1 in 2025.
Viaplay or F1 TV Pro? F1 TV Pro via Viaplay!
In the Netherlands you can follow Formula 1 in two ways: via the streaming service Viaplay or via the official international channel of Formula 1, F1 TV Pro. Through the collaboration between the two platforms you now get the opportunity to follow the race at F1 TV Pro with the Dutch comments from Viaplay. You get the images via F1 TV Pro, but with Viaplay’s comment.
The good news is that the Viaplay annual subscription is available again, and since the 2024 season F1 TV Pro has been completely included in the Viaplay subscription. If you choose Viaplay, you will get F1 tv Pro so ‘free’ biJ. In short, you now have the best of both worlds in one subscription. The Viaplay year subscription costs € 16.99 per month for the basic subscription and € 19.99 per month for the standard subscription for an annual payment. Prefer to pay monthly for the standard subscription? This costs € 21.99 per month.
The best combination to watch F1
But why is that combination so nice? Let’s face it: the international report of F1 TV Pro is better that the Viaplay report. The men and women of the F1 have better facilities, a much larger team available, a Zwik own cameras and a whole lot of experience. Guests like David Coulthard, but also former team staff regularly join the Box comment.
Why you definitely want to choose F1 TV Pro
In addition, F1 TV Pro has a great service where you can switch at home between the cameras that follow the race and the on -board cameras of the cars. If you want, you switch from Max Verstappen’s car to the McLaren of Lando Norris who drives behind him. If you watch via the on -board camera, you are also assured of the fact that you get all the on -board radios from the moment.
You can even log in to one account twice. This way you can view the race on your TV screen and switch on your tablet or phone between the cars. Finally, F1 TV Pro works as a real streaming service: so you look at the competition whenever you want.

F1 TV Pro: what else you want to know
F1 TV Pro is the official channel of Formula 1 and has been available in the Netherlands for several years. Where the service initially broadcast races without a pre-viewing and after-view, it has since grown into an extensive streaming service in which not only the races, but also training, qualifications and sprint traces are broadcast live, with its own support program for the qualifications and races.
Afterwards, commentators, experts and drivers look back on the events. In addition, F1 TV Pro offers live broadcasts from F2 and F3, weekly short reports, interviews, technical workshops and documentaries. A unique function is the possibility to switch between different cameras. NB: In Great Britain, the live services of F1 TV Pro are blocked, because Sky has exclusive broadcasting rights there.
Nice Dutch with Viaplay
Anyway, there is also something to say for Viaplay. The international commentators of F1 TV Pro are pretty British oriented. The Dutch commentary is a lot orange colored, there is more eye for our hero Verstappen. That is completely absorbed for the preliminary and after-views. Dutch drivers such as Christiaan Albers and Tom Coronel view and follow the race better on Max Verstappen.
In addition, Max Verstappen has a deal with Viaplay and (therefore) always has more time left for the Dutch press of Viaplay. The quality and technical possibilities of F1 TV Pro and the Dutch input of Viaplay ensure that the two broadcasters together form a perfect combination for the Dutch viewer.

This is how you watch Formula 1 with ‘Free’ F1 TV Pro
By taking out an annual subscription on Viaplay you not only get access to the streaming service itself, with all the benefits that that entails, but also to all the possibilities of F1 TV Pro. This makes this certainly the best way for us to follow the F1 closely.
