Watch “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” online
The hit Neflix documentary enters its fifth season, streaming online from February 24, 2023—the perfect complement to the Formula 1 season, which races out of the blocks with the Bahrain GP on March 5, 2023. Sadly, fan-favorite Daniel Ricciardo will not feature this season, having been dropped by McLaren Racing last year and failing to secure a seat on the 2023 F1 grid (though he will serve as Red Bull’s third driver). Rumors are swirling that Pierre Gasly could be the face of the series.

FAQ: F1 live streams
Can I live stream sports on my computer?
Absolutely! If you’re accessing the streaming service from a web browser, be sure to also install the ExpressVPN extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. The extension has a few features under the hood that can smooth out common streaming issues.
Can I live stream sports on my phone or tablet?
Yes. ExpressVPN has apps for every major mobile device, including iOS and Android.
Where can I stream this week’s F1 race?
Check out the event-specific information at the top of this page, which will always list out the date, time, and streaming platforms available to watch the race.
1. Get ExpressVPN
2. Connect to a server location in the country of your preferred broadcaster
3. Log in to your preferred streaming services (such as RTBF or ServusTV)
4. Tune in to the races live!
Can I stream Formula 1 races on Twitch?
While Twitch is an excellent source of Formula 1-related content and F1 Esports streams, it does not carry the races live.
How can I stream on my TV with a VPN?
In brief, there are five different ways to stream sports on your TV with ExpressVPN:
– With the native app for a smart TV, Android TV device, or other streaming device
– By streaming on your computer and connecting to the TV with an HDMI cable
– By mirroring or casting wirelessly to your TV or streaming device from your computer or mobile device
– By connecting to an ExpressVPN-enabled router, which allows for unlimited devices and makes it super simple to connect to different server locations simultaneously
– With MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN’s solution for devices that cannot install a VPN, such as Apple TV or gaming consoles. MediaStreamer only needs to be set up once, although it does not provide the full security benefits of a VPN. (Note that by connecting your Apple TV or gaming console to a router, you can get the best of both worlds!)
For more information on all the ways to get ExpressVPN on your big-screen TV, contact a 24/7 Support agent for step-by-step instructions.
I connected to the suggested VPN server location but I can’t log in to the streaming service!
No worries! Server load changes rapidly (especially when people all over the world are trying to watch certain events), but that’s exactly why ExpressVPN has high-speed servers all over the world. If you’re trying to access a site in the U.S. or Germany, for instance, try connecting to a different server location in those countries.
If you’re trying to connect to a country with one server location, the first step is to check your location settings. If you’re on a mobile device, disconnect from the VPN, turn off location services, then connect to the VPN again. On both Windows and Mac computers, you can turn off Location Services within the Privacy & Security settings menu.
For more help, you can always talk to a member of our Support Team, available 24/7 by live chat.
I connected to the VPN but my internet speed is slow
If your internet speed is slow or your streaming seems to lag, there are a few possible reasons:
– The distance of your selected VPN server location from your physical location
– Your connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
– Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your ISP
– Slow internet connection speed at your location
– Your device type and processing power
Try each of the following steps to troubleshoot:
– Download the latest version of ExpressVPN
– Connect to a different VPN server location
– Change your VPN protocol
– If you try each of the above and are still experiencing issues with your streaming speed, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team 24/7 and someone will be with you in seconds.
What streaming services can I watch with ExpressVPN?
ExpressVPN works seamlessly with all the most popular streaming apps from around the world. Using a VPN for streaming ensures you watch securely in blazing-fast HD with unlimited bandwidth, free from ISP throttling (which can sometimes slow down speeds). If you want to watch your favorite team from anywhere—even while traveling or on unsecured networks like public Wi-Fi—ExpressVPN is a great way to enhance your sports streaming experience.

I’m from Brazil. I will buy the ExpressVPN to spoof my location and watch the F1.
I can pay the F1 Pro TV with some credit card from Brazil? Its any problem with payment without USA credit card?
Hi Luis,
As stated above, you will need a U.S. credit card in order to pay for the F1 TV stream.
Thanks. F1 tv works for multiple countries and multiple credit cards, Brazil is not one of them, unfortunately. I can watch it, as long as I am in the same country I have a credit card for (or use a VPN of course :))
Hi

Hi I am from Malaysia and would like to subscribe to the 12 month plan. This streaming should work from here right?

I currently have a year long subscription to ExpressVPN however I was looking at purchasing the new F1 Pro subscription that gives you love streams of all races and catchup. I have found it available in Luxembourg can you confirm that it will work to stream when I purchase the F1 Pro subscription. I believe it’s a fairly new thing..
Many thanks
Hi there,
We have not encountered cases where ExpressVPN does not work with F1 Pro. Also, ExpressVPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you do have an issue with streaming that the Support team cannot resolve, you’ll get 100% of your money back 🙂
By signing up to ExpressVPN, do I get free access to SKY F1 UK, even if I am not subscribed to SKY?
Hi Havans,
ExpressVPN does not provide subscription access to SKY. You will need to sign up separately.
I am not clear on the workings of VPN. I still keep my ISP, right? Do I need to make any changes to my current setup? How does this work?
Hi Rick,
A VPN does not replace your ISP. However, a VPN encrypts your traffic, so your ISP can’t see your internet traffic and stream providers won’t know where you’re browsing from.
This means you can stream with anonymity and avoid blackouts and throttling. If you have further questions, feel free to get in touch with Support here: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat
I am on holiday in France and want to stream the Australian grand prix on my laptop but only want to pay for this race as I will be back home next month. What are my Options?
Cheers Arie
Hi arie,
You can use ExpressVPN for 30 days free. Just sign up, watch the race, and cancel before the 30 days are through 🙂
Of course, we hope you’ll continue to use ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN helps you watch other great content without throttling or local blackouts and also secures your internet connection. So give it a go! We hope you’ll enjoy using ExpressVPN.
That kind of honest reply makes me want to subscribe. Nice.
Before purchasing i would like to know if i can receive SKy F1 in The Netherlands, and not just Ziggo. I want to watch F1 from SKY and not ZIGGO.
Hi Rogier,
ExpressVPN helps you access Sky and any other F1 broadcasters in HD, no matter where you are. The VPN does not block your access to any broadcaster but helps protect your traffic from being throttled by your ISP.
You can give ExpressVPN a try for 30-days free, and contact Support at http://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat if you encounter any issues.
Happy streaming!
Before signing up I wish to confirm that I will be able to watch all 2018 F1 GP’s here in Australia. I’ve dumped Foxtel as they are a huge rip off & have no other way 0f watching the GP’s.
Is there a way to record from your package as same races are run at fairly anti social hours.
Cheers
Hi Richard,
ExpressVPN doesn’t give you the ability to record races, but you’ll be able to access streams from Australia or other countries (which may have recording options).
If you have further questions, please contact live chat at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat 🙂
Will streaming to Europe / The Netherlands also be possible by Express VPN? Who will be the broadcaster for Europe or The Netherlands.
Hi Rene,
ExpressVPN can help you enjoy Formula 1 streams (and streams for other sports) no matter where you are. For the Netherlands, Ziggo Sport will be the broadcaster. To stream:
1. See the list of broadcasters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_broadcasters
2. Select a broadcaster and connect to an ExpressVPN location in the same country
3. You’re done!
Be sure to contact Support (www.expressvpn.com/support/) if you need assistance 🙂
