Everyone is waiting for the Formula 1 Championship that is going to take place in Bahrain, on the 29th-31st of March. The first race was back in 2004 and it was the first one to take place in the Middle East. The race has been going on for years now and 2019 is not an exception, Formula 1 fans are eagerly waiting for their favorite racers.

Which channel is broadcasting the races?

As with most sports events, Bahrain Grand Prix is not shown live and is mostly inaccessible when it comes to live streaming during the event. Most sports channels and even the official Formula 1 TV will not be broadcasting the races live and for free, races only will be available either after the event or days after. However, SkySports F1 channel, that is available in the UK will be showing the event live.

Most VPN providers offer hundreds if not thousands of locations across the world that you can you can connect. Want to access American content? No problem, just connect to the US servers and you’re there! It applies to other locations as well, as VPN helps to access websites and streaming services otherwise unavailable in your location.

Which VPN to get? Get the one that has servers in the UK and is known to unblock streaming services well. I can personally recommend these, they vary in prices and other features, so you can choose whichever you want:

NordVPN ($2.99 per month) — over 600+ servers only in the UK, having 5000+ servers in 60 countries in total, the premium provider offers unlimited bandwidth and data as well as lighting fast servers, so perfect for your streaming. ExpressVPN ($6.67 per month) — another premium provider with over 160 locations to access SkySports and unlimited speeds for your streaming. Surfshark ($1.99 per month) — a cheap VPN provider with incredible speeds, so the races never buffer and unlimited data and bandwidth mean you can stream with no limits.
