The second half of the F1 season gets underway this weekend, July 25-27, with the Belgian Grand Prix and McLaren driver Lando Norris will be chasing a third straight victory after wins at Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring.

The British driver finished third in Saturday's sprint race at Spa and now trails teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri by 13 points in the driver standings after the Australian finished in second. However, he then went on to claim pole position for Sunday's headline race, pipping Piastri by just 0.085 seconds.

The McLaren duo are likely to be locked in a battle for victory but will have to be wary of four-time world champion Max Verstappen, who triumphed in Saturday's sprint race to deliver a winning start for Red Bull under new team principal Laurent Mekies.

Verstappen will start from fourth on the grid after a couple of late errors in qualifying allowed Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to take third place.

How to watch Belgian Grand Prix from anywhere

Most F1 live streams are location-sensitive. So, you won't be able to access your home service when travelling abroad. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a small but powerful app that lets you select your preferred location and thus unblock any F1 live stream – including the free streams in Austria, Luxembourg and Belgium if you're a resident there.

A VPN will allow you relocate your device back to your home country. NordVPN is our favorite VPN and you can make use of it to watch the F1 season while you're away from home.

We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example:1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service).2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad.We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
