Sky Sports own the rights to broadcast Formula 1 in the UK, as well as Italy and Germany, and a subscription to the broadcaster’s F1 channel costs £18 per month, or £10 per month for 18 months if you are a new customer on top of your normal package.
The company has an exclusive deal with F1 to show the races in the UK until 2024.
However, there is another option available to watch F1 races through Sky which is through the broadcaster’s streaming service NowTV.
Channel 4 also presents free-to-air extended highlights of the races 2.5 hours after they end with a presenting team that has previously included David Coulthard, Steve Jones and Mark Webber, and posts the programme on its All4 streaming service.
The show usually lasts around 2.5 hours and is permitted to show up to 70% of the day’s action. In a special deal, Channel 4 also broadcasts the full British Grand Prix at Silverstone live as part of its current deal with Liberty Media.

If you’re thinking of using a VPN service to get around the geo restrictions, you might want to reconsider as Liberty have clearly stated they will rescind the access of anyone caught gaming its systems without offering a refund.
