F1 Free Livestream: How To Watch F1 In India Without F1 TV Pro

Ever since Formula 1 called off its broadcasting contract with Disney+ Hotstar, Indian fans have been struggling to watch F1. Hotstar provided a relatively affordable platform not just to watch F1 but for other sports, TV shows, films, and original content as well. Left with no broadcaster in India, Formula 1 took the opportunity to launch F1 TV Pro in India this year. With F1 TV Pro subscription cost being noticeably higher than most other streaming platforms, Indian fans, who make up a sizeable chunk of the global F1 viewers, are left in an abyss due to cost prohibition.

Worry not, we are here to help save your weekend with wheel-to-wheel action, and tips on how to live stream F1 for free. Free F1 live broadcasts can be regularly found in Austria, Belgium & Luxemburg amongst other places. Following is the list of broadcasters:

• Austria: ORF 1 (free)
• Belgium: RTBF (free)
• Luxembourg: RTL Zwee (free)

We have listed all the free countries above and we are pretty sure you’re not a resident of the above-mentioned countries; you will require VPN (virtual private network) to watch along. A VPN application changes the location of a device to be in a different country and gets around geo-block restrictions for hordes of streaming services, websites, etc. Our suggestion is to get a reputed paid VPN service as it allows for multiple host countries to choose from.

What are other methods to watch F1 for free?

Let’s say you are not able to watch F1 even after following the given tips, we still got you covered. But this method is on the darker side of the force,  infringing side of the internet. Nervous pirate “ARR”. Lord Latifi Streams is a website known for steaming F1 in English every race weekend. The streams are mostly smooth with a few buffers from time to time. For legal reasons, we fully discourage this live-stream platform.
