How to watch British Grand Prix 2025 F1 for free

British Grand Prix start 2024.

Formula 1 continues this weekend for the summer season and you can watch the British Grand Prix 2025 live from Silverstone on Channel 4 in Blighty, streaming for free, until its conclusion on Sunday, 6 July. The service will show every session from Northamptonshire as McLaren look to extend their lead at the top of the Constructors' Championship.

The U.K. platform will show every overtake and pit stop as Piastri and Norris continue their battle. The duo now have a healthy gap over Max Verstappen and it is becoming ever-more apparent that this will be an inter-team fight for the Drivers' title. However, Verstappen put in a stunning qualifying lap and will start on pole in Northamptonshire.

Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will also be desperate to impress with the former having the opportunity to bring up his tenth win at Silverstone this weekend.

Can you access Channel 4 in the U.S., Australia and Canada? Read on and we'll show you how to watch 2025 British Grand Prix live streams from anywhere with a VPN for FREE.

How to watch 2025 British Grand Prix live streams from anywhere

Although Channel 4 is only available to British residents, those who are from the country but visiting the likes of Australia, the U.S. and Canada can stream it through the use of VPN (Virtual Private Network).

The software sets your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So, it's ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

It is really easy to watch, here's how.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view an Channel 4, you'd select United Kingdom from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Channel 4 or another streaming service and watch the action.
