How to watch 2019 French Grand Prix: live stream F1 online from anywhere right now
Original Source
The green lights are on and the Formula 1 drivers are GO at the 2019 French Grand Prix. It’s the eighth race of the 2019 Formula 1 Grand Prix season and this is the place to be if you want to find out how to live stream F1 action from wherever you are in the world.
French Grand Prix 2019 – where and when
France is the venue for the eighth Grand Prix of the 2019 season, with a 3.6 miles/5.8 km long that winds its way around the Circuit Paul Ricard.
The French Grand Prix starts at 3.10pm local time (so that’s 2.10pm BST, 6.10am PT, 9.10am ET).
The 2019 F1 season has arrived on French soil where the Paul Ricard will offer high-speed racing on its lengthy circuit with powerful 5G corners. All that is just a 10km drive away from the French Riviera, but the drivers are going to have to earn that first.
This race begins with Lewis Hamilton still leading the charge with 162 points followed by his teammate Valtteri Bottas with 133 points then Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel with 100 points. And things only get better for the Mercedes men, once again dominating Saturday’s qualifying to take a one-two on the grid.
Ferrari was hoping to use its car advantages at Canada thanks to the suiting them. They came so close, but a controversial stewards’ decision denied Vettel top spot on the podium. Now the focus is to just make sure Mercedes’ unbeaten run is broken – Charles Leclerc starts from third.
All that tension should make for an exciting race and you can stream F1 live from anywhere in the world.
How to watch the French Grand Prix from outside your country
To see how you can stream F1 live from the French Grand Prix in the UK, Australia, the US, Canada and New Zealand, then scroll a little further down this page to see the broadcast options. But if you try and tune in to your native stream from outside your country, you’ll quickly discover that it’s geo-blocked.
That’s where a VPN can come in really handy. It’s a piece of software readily available to download and install that allows you to simulate the IP address on your laptop (or mobile phone, tablet, streaming device, console, etc) so that it appears to be in a completely different country. Ideal, assuming that it doesn’t breach any Ts&Cs from the broadcaster you’re trying to tune in to.
That might sound complicated, by VPNs – or Virtual Private Networks – are actually surprisingly easy to operate. Simply select one of our top three best VPN picks below (or opt straight for our number one favorite ExpressVPN), open it up and pick out your country of choice from the ‘choose location’ menu, and then start watching as if you were sat back at home. Easy!
The best 3 VPNs for streaming F1 online
1. ExpressVPN: the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day money back guarantee and 3 months FREE when you sign up for an annual plan
2. NordVPN: one of the most affordable choices for streaming and really effective, too
3. IPVanish: super secure and able to work on a whopping 10 devices, at the same time
How to stream F1 live from France in the UK:
Sky Sports F1 has all the coverage exclusively this year (except the British Grand Prix), so ideal if you’re already subscribed to Sky Sports. Using the Sky Go app will let you watch on various other devices, too, including laptops, Apple and Android mobile devices and via your PlayStation or Xbox.
If you don’t want to subscribe to Sky just to watch this Grand Prix, then you can grab a Now TV Sports Pass instead wit daily and weekly passes available.
Not in the UK this weekend? Fear not, check out our advice on using a VPN above, and it will let you watch the UK coverage from wherever on Earth you are.
How live stream the French Grand Prix in Australia
The action will be shown on the paid-for services that will be showing the rest of the Formula 1 races this year – Fox Sports and Kayo Sports. The Kayo Sports Basic Package costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously. Alternatively, the service also offers a Kayo Sports Premium Package, which provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month.
Their apps mean you can access this from your chosen device wherever you are (although you’ll need a VPN if you’re taking that abroad).
How to watch the French Grand Prix in the US:
In the US, ESPN has the rights to show the F1 live (using Sky’s UK coverage). That’s great news if you have cable, but if you’re a cord-cutter you could try a free trial to another streaming service like Sling and Fubo and watch on there.
Out of the US and want to watch the coverage? No worries – just use a VPN and register to a location showing the race.
How to watch a French F1 live stream in the Canada:
RDS and TSN have the rights to show the Formula 1 north of the border in 2019.
For those travelling, you can use a VPN to change your virtual location and still enjoy the race as if you were back in Canada.
How to get an F1 live stream in New Zealand
Just like in the UK, Sky Sports has bagged exclusivity to show all 2019 F1 live streaming. As you’ll no doubt be aware, it doesn’t come cheap. But there are ways of getting some cheap access.
You should be able to get a Fox Sports package via a great offer if you want to enjoy it for less. The Foxtel Now app works with this, so you can live stream to your preferred device – anywhere using a VPN.
