Watch Formula 1 clearly and live with this trick

Formula 1 is the queen of motorsport competitions and attracts more and more fans and amateurs. I must say, the documentary series Formula 1 Drivers of Destinies (streaming on Netflix) has rekindled interest in F1 in recent years, as have the exciting championship races we’ve had with champions like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. We are also lucky to be pampered in France with Alpine, a French team that employs two French drivers, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who we can support at every race.

On which channel to watch F1 live?

Moreover, in some nearby European countries, it is possible to watch F1 clearly without having to subscribe to the TV package. This is especially true for our Belgian and Swiss neighbors who benefit from the retransmission of the Grands Prix thanks to RTBF and RTS respectively.

Both RTBF and RTS have a platform to watch their channels live on the internet. However, due to a rights issue, all users who do not reside in Belgium or Switzerland have their lives blocked. But the French can access by pretending to be in one of these two countries, so they can clearly watch F1’s qualifiers and races on French-speaking channels.

To change your IP address and find yourself in Belgium or Switzerland, you should use a VPN. Forget the free solutions, most of them do not offer a server in these countries or have limited performance that does not allow you to stream videos in good conditions. Instead, turn to CyberGhost, a complete and powerful VPN service that makes streaming its specialty.

CyberGhost does indeed offer servers that are specifically designed for the application of video streaming from certain platforms, ensuring that a VPN is not detected by these services and that you get the bandwidth and speeds necessary to view the content live video. There is an RTBF streaming server for Belgium and an RTS streaming server for Switzerland, all you have to do is choose between the two to enjoy Formula 1 with French commentary.

Other Benefits of a VPN

If using a VPN makes it possible to watch sports broadcasts such as Formula 1 clearly, it also gives you access to movies and series not available in France on SVOD platforms such as Netflix, Disney+ or Prime Video. With CyberGhost, you can enjoy newly released movies by accessing foreign catalogs, which is normally impossible in France due to the chronology of the media.

With over 9100 servers located in 91 countries, CyberGhost supports four VPN protocols: L2TP/IPSEC, WireGuard, IKEv2 and OpenVPN. The platform will automatically choose the protocol that seems best suited to the situation, but you can also force a specific protocol to be used in the settings. The service uses military-grade AES 256-bit encryption to secure your traffic and ensure your data does not fall into the hands of malicious people.

Using a VPN not only increases your protection when you’re connected to a public Wi-Fi network, it also helps you remove trackers when browsing the web, prevent third parties from tracking you, and pages load faster. When the Kill Switch function is enabled, it automatically disconnects the Internet in the event of a VPN tunnel failure, preventing traffic leaks. CyberGhost has its own DNS service to protect against DNS leaks.

CyberGhost adopts a strict No Logs policy, meaning the platform does not store any browsing data of its users to respect their online privacy. Hackers or government agencies cannot steal sensitive information about you because it doesn’t exist. Additionally, the company is based in Romania, which has privacy-friendly legislation and is not part of any international surveillance alliances.

Best value for money VPN

One CyberGhost subscription protects up to 7 devices. An app is available on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, and it’s also possible to easily configure the VPN in a Linux configuration. CyberGhost is available on TVs and boxes connected via Android TV and FireTV, as well as in Chrome and Firefox browsers via an extension. Setting up the VPN at the router level makes it possible to simultaneously protect all the devices in its network.

The most interesting proposal at the moment is the two-year formula with three additional months on offer. It is currently priced at €56.97 for 27 months of use, so the equivalent of just €2.11 per month is an unbeatable value for money in the VPN market.

With the 2-year plan, you get a 45-day money-back guarantee. So you can test CyberGhost and if you don’t like the service in the end, you can request a refund and you don’t even have to explain your decision. Customer support responds to your requests 24/7 to help you use the VPN, understand how it works, or have any queries regarding your account or options.
