Can anyone stop Max Verstappen from claiming another F1 title this year? It's looking less and less likely, but there will still be plenty of teams and drivers looking to take the win this weekend in Spain.

If you're interested in following all the action from the Spanish Grand Prix, we've got the information you need.

When is the Spanish Grand Prix?

The 2023 Spanish Grand Prix takes place over 66 laps of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on June 4. The full schedule can be found here:

  • Practice 1 — 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. BST on June 2

  • Practice 2 — 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. BST on June 2

  • Practice 3 — 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. BST on June 3

  • Qualifying — 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. BST on June 3

Sky Sports is broadcasting live coverage of every key event, with race highlights on Channel 4 after the race on June 4.

How to livestream the Spanish Grand Prix for free

Fortunately for dedicated fans not subscribed to Sky Sports, there is an alternative way to watch the Spanish Grand Prix.

Belgium’s RTBF and Austria’s ServusTV will show all of the 2023 F1 races free to stream. You can watch RTBF and ServusTV from anywhere in the world with a VPN:

  1. Sign up for a streaming-friendly service like ExpressVPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in Belgium or Austria

  4. Connect to RTBF or ServusTV

  5. Watch the Spanish Grand Prix from anywhere in the world

The best VPNs for unblocking streaming sites are not free, but they do tend to offer pretty generous money-back guarantees. By making the most of these guarantees, you can watch F1 livestreams without fully committing with your cash. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does mean you can watch individual races for free with a VPN.

What is the best VPN for streaming?

ExpressVPN remains the top choice for unblocking streaming sites, and it offers a generous money-back guarantee. That means you can livestream the F1 for free with ExpressVPN.
