Watch the Saudi Arabian 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 into 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 live stream 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 live stream 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.
