How to watch F1 live via streaming in Canada?
In Canada, if we want to watch Formula 1, we have a few choices.
Of course, you can go through cable and watch everything live on RDS or TSN. You can also subscribe to the RDS and TSN streaming service for $20 per month.
Otherwise, you can also subscribe to the F1 TV service for a little over $80 for the full season.
Obviously all these options are paid and it can become expensive when you add them to all the other services to which you subscribe.
Where can you watch F1 for free?
Formula 1 fans who wish to watch the races with commentary in French can do so via the RTBF channel.
RTBF is a Belgian channel that happens to be an official Formula 1 broadcaster.
Only to have access to the RTBF stream and its Auvio application, you have to be physically in Belgium…
Unless you use a VPN!
How to watch formula 1 on the internet without paying?
Using a VPN, it is quite possible to watch Formula 1 for free via the stream provided by RTBF.
It’s not really a 100% free way to watch it, since you have to subscribe to a good VPN that can support the video stream. Still, a good VPN costs in the waters of $5 per month.
Much cheaper than subscribing to cable, RDS or TSN and F1 TV sites.
This is without taking into account that a VPN offers many other functionalities and advantages of use, including that of jumping geographical barriers as in this case.
