The three Brits, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, and Lando Norris dominated qualifying for the 2024 British F1 GP.

The F1 series moves to the UK’s world-famous Silverstone circuit this week. Yesterday’s qualifying was a real treat for home fans as three Brits came out on top to start today’s race in P1-3 (Russell, Hamilton, then Norris), continuing this season’s resurgence for UK drivers. With the inevitable rain, and Copse Corner swallowing up cars for fun, this is one race you won’t want to miss. Here’s everything you need to know about where to watch a free British F1 live stream wherever you are in the world.
As also detailed in our season-long free F1 live stream guide, we can help you watch every race this season via similar options to today’s. And if the free live streams aren’t for you, we thoroughly recommend the super-extended highlights show from the UK, which replays almost the entire race—we’ve dedicated a section to this later in the article.
The race is streaming for free in some countries, and that’s where we come in, as we can show you how to get around geo-restrictions that block viewers from watching outside the channel’s base country. We’ll dive into greater detail below, but essentially, if you want to join in from overseas, you’ll need a VPN to spoof your viewing device’s location to match the broadcast. It’s super simple to get going, and you’ll be able to use this same method to watch every race this season, along with even more streaming opportunities like the below events:
This weekend’s simplest option for a free British GP live stream is using a VPN to tune into one of the free streams mentioned above. If you miss the live race, the extended highlights show from the UK we mentioned is a great alternative and comes with full English commentary.
Our preferred option among the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN, with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re unsatisfied. Better yet, you can get an extra three months for free and save 49% on a subscription. Check out our ExpressVPN review for more information on the security app.
We’ve used these free F1 live streams all season (and last season) and have double-checked VPN compatibility with each channel’s programming schedule today to ensure the race is on. These channels feature every race, except the Austrian option, as races alternate each weekend between ORF1 and Servus TV – ORF1 has the British GP.
In the UK, Channel 4 has an extended highlights show a few hours after today’s race at 6:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 p.m. BST / 12:30 a.m. (Mon) CEST / 6:30 a.m. AWST (Mon).
While this highlights show usually includes plenty of discussion and interviews before and after the race, an excellent proportion of the runtime is usually dedicated to the race itself. For example, the first week’s live race lasted about 92 minutes, and I timed the actual race highlights section of the show at 72 minutes. however, due to Channel 4 also, showing the full race live for free this week earlier in the day, the highlights show will only run for 60 minutes this week.
Overall, in weeks when there’s no free English commentary option, it’s still my preferred viewing option compared to forking out for a subscription service or watching it without English commentary.
You can also watch these highlights on-demand the day after. That said, we sometimes notice that this version is a bit shorter than the usual highlights program. You might be able to watch the full race-on demand afterwards, too – but this can vary with live events.
You can tune in on the Channel 4 website online and use a VPN as outlined above to watch from outside the UK.
ABC and ESPN covers Formula 1 racing throughout the season. If you don’t have access to the channel, consider a couple of cord-cutting options. Sling TV’s Orange tier is usually $40 a month, but there’s a special offer right now that knocks your first month down to $20. You can also find today’s race on ESPN+, which is much cheaper, but this looks like the last race this channel is getting this season.
Want a free option? Channel 4 runs an excellent extended highlights show (see above) a few hours after each race, which is a solid alternative given the length of the show. They even do qualifying highlights a few hours after that wraps up the day before, too.
If you really want to see everything live, a Sky Sports deal is your best bet, and this is a great way to get it in glorious 4K, too. Sky covers every race weekend, so you won’t need to switch between it and networks like TNT, as you do for the Premier League.
If you don’t want a traditional TV contract and prefer a monthly option you can drop whenever you want, Sky’s Now TV offshoot has a Sky Sports tier that costs £11.99 for a day pass, or £34.99 a month.
The main appeal of Now TV is it runs on a rolling one-month contract, but if you need it every week, it’s arguably a better deal to get a proper Sky Sports package as you’ll get way more bang for your buck. Also, Now TV is still operating in the dark ages and has the gall to charge extra for HD in 2024.
Note: Using VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

As the oldest of three kids and the only girl, I grew up feeling like I had to take care of everyone. I relished being the oldest as a child, but as I matured, the responsibility increased, and I never learned to say no. This classic case of ‘eldest daughter syndrome‘ led to me becoming the father’s sole caregiver of my father, who dealt with alcoholism, and the only person in my family to continue a relationship with him long-term.
My father’s steadfast refusal to seek help for his alcoholism resulted in my parents’ divorce when I was 14. As alcohol took over his life, Dad’s desire to see his kids began to fade. My brothers and I were relieved; spending every other weekend in his smoke-filled apartment, listening to him rant about the divorce as he drank himself into a stupor, wasn’t our adolescent idea of a good time.
I heard sporadically from my father as I entered adulthood and even reluctantly saw him a few times. I didn’t have much desire to connect with him — he still drank heavily, and I resented his lack of support growing up — but the eldest daughter in me worried I might one day regret my choice if I rebuffed his peace offerings.
My brothers continued to keep their distance, claiming he gave up the right to a relationship when he disappeared from our lives. I rationalized that alcoholism had impacted his ability to be a father, while they saw his actions as a choice he made willingly. I realized it wasn’t a matter of wrong vs. right; someone needed to be there for Dad, and as the oldest and only girl, the job fell to me.
When I was a new mom in my early 30s, Dad, a smoker since his teens, called to tell me he had lung cancer. Thus began nearly a decade of single-handedly caring for my father as his health circled the proverbial drain. The saga started with several four-hour round-trip drives to pick him up in the small town where he lived, only to turn around and drive him back to my city to consult a surgeon. I waited alone at the hospital as he underwent the three-hour procedure to remove his left lung and visited him daily until his release.

A couple of months later, Dad suddenly couldn’t walk. I found myself on another tour of specialists, where a neurosurgeon finally diagnosed hydrocephalus, an excessive buildup of spinal fluid on the brain. I waited, alone again, through a two-hour surgery to insert a shunt that would drain the excess fluid. During Dad’s recovery from that operation, it became clear he could no longer care for himself, so it fell to me to set him up in a nursing home and carve out time to visit him so he wouldn’t feel abandoned.
To be fair, the few times I asked for help, my siblings came through for me. They made clear, though, that they were helping me, not my father, and I believed, as their older sister, I shouldn’t need help. I kept my requests to a minimum.

My father finally succumbed to cirrhosis at 65. There was no funeral, and I felt sorry for myself as I left the funeral home with his ashes — my final solo act as his oldest child. But I broke down in tears at the realization that I was the only person in the world who cared enough to be there for him in the end.
I understood my brothers’ reasons for not wanting a relationship with our father. If I’d seen it as an option, I might have even done the same thing. But I accepted their refusal to interact with him and my resulting role as his only caretaker as just another of my eldest daughter responsibilities. That created a lot of pressure, but I’m thankful my role in the family forced that path because I can look back on my relationship with Dad without regret.

US President Joe Biden had a terrible debate. He’s done little to turn things around since and appears to be in denial over the damage done to his campaign.
That’s the story of a critical 10-day period in the US presidential race, which kicked off with Biden’s historically bad debate performance.
Biden’s poor performance led to a Democrat freak out and growing calls for Biden to step aside. In a sign of the public mood, BI’s list of the Democrats who could replace Biden saw a sudden and dramatic spike in readership shortly after the debate.
In the days since, there have been excuses, new Biden flubs, and fresh calls from donors and House Democrats for Biden to step down. Republican rival Donald Trump has been posting furiously on social media throughout.
Biden remains defiant. In a Friday interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, he dismissed his low approval rating and questioned polling data that shows Trump is growing his lead in the race.
Crucially, Biden said that only God could get him to drop out, and that he’d be OK with losing to Trump “as long as I give it my all.”
Neither sentiment is likely to satisfy the many Democrats who have serious concerns about Biden’s mental acuity and electability.

It’s never been easier to offload your labor. Globalized social networks, ubiquitous software tools, and the pandemic have created a perfect storm — and workers are taking advantage of it.
Across the globe, employees are secretly outsourcing parts or all of their jobs, creating a clandestine world of “shadow stand-ins.”
