F1 streaming: how to watch the Hungarian Grand Prix live?

It was about time: after a break of several months, Formula 1 fans will once again be able to taste the joy of asphalt, screeching tires and… Max Verstappen’s victories. The Red Bull driver has just won three championship titles in a row and should once again dominate the season. However, Ferrari and Mercedes will have to be on the lookout for him. This 2024 season will be the longest in history, with 24 races. Max Verstappen has won 7 of the first 12 races.

During the offseason, it was announced that seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes at the end of the season. He will drive for Ferrari from 2025, which could change some things if the Italian team can catch up with Red Bull.

To watch Formula 1 in France, you need a subscription, knowing that several options are available to those who want to follow all the F1 Grands Prix.

Where to watch F1 Grand Prix with free streaming?

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to watch an entire Formula 1 season without paying anything. This was the case several years ago, when TF1 had the broadcasting rights. Today, Canal+ has taken over from TF1 and the group sees the discipline as an argument for people to take out a subscription.

In order to democratize the discipline, there are still Grand Prix offered in the clear – including the events in France and Monaco.

For those living in Belgium, RTBF offers Formula 1 for free. If you can get the Belgian channel, this is a possible solution. The F1 Grand Prix can also be seen for free if you live in Switzerland, thanks to RTS. The channel, which is free, has exclusive broadcasting rights for F1 in Switzerland.

Where to watch Formula 1 live on TV or streaming?

The only way to watch F1 live in France on television is to go through Canal+, which offers various subscription plans. Remember that the channel does not only offer Formula 1. Depending on the plan chosen, you can also watch football or the NBA (via beIN Sports). Not to mention movies and series.

Canal+ has the broadcasting rights to Formula 1 (the agreement was recently extended until 2029), and this for several seasons now. It offers a very strong editorial line, with, every weekend, a real dive into the world of Formula 1. Canal+ broadcasts the tests, the qualifications, the race and thematic programs (debriefings, reports, interviews, etc.). There is a complete follow-up, with journalists and consultants specializing in the discipline. Big news for 2024? Conversations with the pit wall, with comments collected live from certain team bosses.

Canal+ also allows you to have races in replay, and allows you to enjoy other sports disciplines, including motor sports (F2, F3, MotoGP), among other programs (series, films). It is necessary to have access to the Canal+ Sport channel to see everything.

Last thing to know: for this 2024 season, some Canal+ offers integrate the F1 TV Pro application. It gives access to other cameras, archives or even a stream without commentary.

How to watch F1 streaming in 4K UHD quality?

Canal+ also offers 4K UHD quality for the race, as long as you have the right internet connection (25Mb/s) and compatible equipment (Canal+ decoder, Apple TV 4K, Orange UHD TV decoder, Bbox 4K, Freebox Pop, Samsung Smart TV, Sony TVs, Nvidia Shield). The quality was there for the Champions League final. Note that the MyCanal application gives access to an expert mode with on-board cameras, Grand Prix score, best moments of the race or even live timing.

How to watch Formula 1 without Canal Plus with F1 TV?

Formula 1 obviously has its own subscription, called F1 TV, to allow fans not to miss anything. Two packages are available: F1 TV Access (€26.99 per year), which only offers replays, or F1 TV Pro (accessible in Canal+), which allows you to experience the different events live (in addition to accessing replays).

Formula 1 gives access to all the sessions that punctuate a race weekend (tests, qualifying, races), as well as on-board cameras (20 in total), exclusive documentaries and archives. You can also enjoy live timing with detailed information for experts (telemetry, radio conversations, tire wear). In addition to Formula 1, F1 TV allows you to follow three other disciplines (F2, F3 and Porsche Supercup).

The F1 TV app is available on web browser, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, Roku, Apple TV, Google TV and Chromecast.

Here’s what F1 TV Access and F1 TV Pro offer :

How to watch F1 GP practice and qualifying live?

The Canal+ channel offers all the highlights live from a Formula 1 weekend, including the tests which allow the drivers to prepare their single-seaters, and the qualifying sessions, which determine the starting grid.

How does a Formula 1 weekend unfold?

A typical Formula 1 weekend goes like this:

• Two test sessions on Friday;
• A practice session and qualifying on Saturday;
• The Grand Prix on Sunday.

During the season, there are weekends where the program is slightly disrupted with the integration of a sprint race. In this case, the organization is as follows:

• A practice session and qualifying for the sprint on Friday;
• The sprint race and qualifying for the race on Saturday;
• The normal race on Sunday.

Where can I find a summary of the previous season?

Please note that Netflix does not allow you to watch Formula 1 races. On the other hand, the SVOD platform allows you to (re)immerse yourself behind the scenes of previous seasons thanks to the excellent series Drive to Survive (Formula 1: Drivers of their destiny). With a freedom of tone that is quite unheard of for such a modest environment, the program offers a fairly complete summary of previous races, with interventions from the main protagonists (drivers, specialist journalists, team directors), highlights and a certain talent for dramatization. It is an excellent way to discover the discipline or refresh your memory, especially since the production is of excellent quality. Too bad that some drivers do not play the game, like Max Verstappen.
