Watch the Bahrain Grand Prix with the help of a VPN
Looking for a way to stream F1 coverage from anywhere in the world without ESPN? One option for catching this weekend’s coverage of the grand prix is with the help of a VPN. With a VPN, you can change your location to one in Belgium and stream every race this weekend on RTBF for free. You can also check out free Austrian coverage on ServusTV.

A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the F1 race this weekend without a cable package, a VPN can help you out.
ExpressVPN offers “internet without borders,” meaning you can tune into a Belgian or Austrian livestream of the race for free as opposed to paying for ESPN or ESPN+ for US coverage of F1. All you’ll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location to one in Belgium and then find the F1 livestream on RTBF, or change your location to Austria to watch free coverage on ServusTV.
ExpressVPN’s added protection, speed and range of location options make it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities. It’s Engadget’s top pick for the best streaming VPN, and the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee in case you’re nervous about trying a VPN.

Arkansas Gets Ranked Win Over Texas Tech in Thrilling Sweet 16 Rematch
Trevon Brazile scored 18 of his 24 points after halftime and finished with 10 rebounds as No. 17 Arkansas overcame No. 16 Texas Tech on Saturday, 93-86, in a rematch of a Sweet 16 game in last season's NCAA Tournament.Arkansas (8-2), which trailed by as many as 10 points before halftime, went ahead for good on Brazile's driving layup that made it 78-77 with 5:20 left. A minute after that, coming out of a timeout, he made a move near the baseline that got JT Toppin in the air and drove by the preseason AP All-American for an emphatic one-handed slam dunk.Brazile is one of the three starters for the Razorbacks who played in the Sweet 16 game last March, when they had a 16-point lead midway through the second half before Tech rallied for an overtime victory.Toppin had 30 […]
Divine Ugochukwu Career Game Helps Michigan State Avoid Upset Bid by Penn State
Divine Ugochukwu scored a career-high 23 points and No. 9 Michigan State overcame a sloppy performance to beat Penn State, 76-72, on Saturday.Jaxon Kohler posted his fifth double-double of the season with 10 points and 12 rebounds while Carson Cooper added 10 points for the Spartans (9-1, 2-0 Big Ten), who committed a season-high 17 turnovers and trailed for long stretches in both halves.They were able to bear down, however, and avoid a second-straight loss after falling to No. 4 Duke on Monday.Freddie Dilione V scored a career-high 22 points, Kayden Mingo added 11 and Ivan Juric had 10 for the Nittany Lions (8-3, 0-2), who led by as many as nine in the first half and then by three with five minutes left four days after getting blown out by Indiana, 113-72.But thanks to some timely shooting by Ugochukwu, […]
Wilson stars for Fulham to extend Burnley losing run
Harry Wilson was involved in all of Fulham's goals as Marco Silva's side beat Burnley 3-2 at Turf Moor to extend their losing run to seven straight matches. The defeat marks the breaking of an unwanted record for Scott Parker, who has now overseen a Burnley team that has lost more than six in a row, a low the club hasn't slumped to since 1895. It's also a first win at Burnley for Fulham in 74 years. Player ratings: Burnley: Dubravka (4), Esteve (5), Ekdal (5), Tuanzebe (4), Hartman (6), Florentino (4), Cullen (4), Brunn Larsen (5), Foster (5), Broja (5), Ugochukwu (7) Subs: Edwards (3), Flemming (5), Sonne (6), Antony (5), Tresor (n/a) Fulham: Leno (7), Tete (6), Andersen (7), Bassey (7), Robinson (7), Berge (7), Iwobi (7), Wilson (9), Smith-Rowe (8), Chukwueze (8), Jimenez (6) Subs: King (6), […]
‘Worst 48 hours at the club’ – Confusion after Maresca’s cryptic Chelsea revelation
Enzo Maresca has described the 48 hours leading into Chelsea's 2-0 win over Everton as the "worst 48 hours since he joined the club".Chelsea ended a four-game run without a win in all competitions with victory over the Toffees to move back into the Premier League's top four, but Maresca was clearly unhappy despite a first win since November 22 easing the pressure on him. In an extraordinary outburst, the Blues boss suggested he felt he and his team hadn't been supported, before refusing to clarify what the issue was and who his words were aimed at. When asked about Malo Gusto's performance against Everton, Maresca praised his players before venting his frustrations."It's the effort from the players", he said in his post-match press conference. "We said many times that Reece [James] and Malo [Gusto], they are both full-backs and […]
Vynulovala nejlepší hráčku světa. To by mě ani ve snu nenapadlo, žasla česká brankářka po postupu
Den před zápasem trenéři ukázali právě na ni. A třicetiletá brankářka se z největšího zápasu své kariéry nesesypala. Klidně působila na hřišti při svých zákrocích i při rozhovoru po vítězství 1:0, zatímco spoluhráčky kolem nadšeně křepčily.Poprvé v historii skalp Finska na mistrovství světa, poprvé v historii postup do finále šampionátu? Jak vám to pár minut po zápase zní?Je to něco nepopsatelného. Myslím, že pro každou z nás je postup splněným snem, ale ještě nemáme hotovo. Největší zápas našich kariér nás čeká v neděli a my se na něj teď musíme připravit.Na turnaji jste vychytala už druhou nulu, ale proti Finsku s hvězdnou Veerou Kauppiovou má jistě výjimečnou cenu.To je super. Popravdě mě ani ve snu nenapadlo, že bychom to zavřely s čistým kontem. Ale není to jen moje práce. Myslím, že jsme je nepustily do mnoha šancí, výborně jsme to odbránily, eliminovaly jejich zbraně a výsledkem je postup do finále.Chystala jste […]
Colts to start 44-year-old Rivers vs Seahawks in Sunday’s NFL
Over four years after his last snap, Philip Rivers has been elevated from the Indianapolis Colts practice squad to the team's active roster to start against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Following Daniel Jones being ruled out for the season with a torn Achilles, the Colts have since announced Rivers has been signed to the active roster from the practice squad. Rivers flew in for a workout with the team on Monday - his 44th birthday - signed to the practice squad on Tuesday and will be officially elevated on Saturday. With his signing to the active roster, Rivers, recently named a Hall of Fame modern-era semi-finalist, will lose his eligibility to be voted in during this cycle. His waiting period will now reset to five years from the end of his final season. Twitter This content is provided by […]
