Hi guys,
I am in the U.K. and as a long time suffering Sky Sports F1 subscriber I am sick to death of hearing David Croft, Simon Lazenby, Ted Kravitz and Craig Slater droning on week in and week out!
I have cancelled my Sky Sports package as all I watch is F1, so want to use f1 TV Pro to watch on my iPad Pro or iPhone.
I have a paid VPN Surfshark and wanted some advice as to how I go about getting it here.
I have a U.K. F1 account, but I am guessing I will need to register one in the country I intend to say I am watching from? I heard the Netherlands is a popular choice.
Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Using VPNs carries a risk of your F1TV account being suspended. Please take this into consideration.

Its quite expensive now, are there any cheaper ways maybe?
Edit: For anyone who wants to get it cheaper you can with a VPN by buying F1TV pro in a different country, made a small spreadsheet how you can do it and a list of the cheapest countries atm: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FSsT3iEqE4rmC70L8j0P5Txs-bet8elTKx6yLsq1h08/edit?usp=sharing
Mate it’s really easy to do, enable your VPN to for example USA (must be on your phone to setup the subscription). Then go to the F1 TV app, sign up to the pro subscription and it will register it through as an Apple subscription, and that’s it! I assume it’s the same process on android.
Perfect, I didn’t realise there was a separate F1 TV app, so downloaded and logged in ok, can now access everything. Thanks again for all your help guys, really appreciate it. I only took out a month by month sub as we near the end of the year, there isn’t much point taking out an annual one until the 2025 season starts.
I use stream locator, there is an android app so works well on my shield pro also, set that up and then setup a F1 TV app via the Vpn locater app. I pay 4.79 a month for stream locator and 6.99 for F1 TV in the UK works a treat.
I use France, you have to change your country that has access to f1tv pro. I either use France or Miami. I just watched Singapore replay on sky, Jesus Crofty is annoying.
I don’t think I changed country in f1.tv app to do so.
On Iphone - open f1.tv app while connected to vpn, select package, pay using apple pay and enjoy.
Of course vpn connection must be active to watch live. Not required for Highlights.
By the way sharing single account works too.
It works well but f1tv have blocked a lot of vpns recently
Get an Indian F1 TV Pro Subscription - probably the cheapest one out there. Went for an annual pass at the start of the season for about AU$44 (£22). Exactly the same coverage.
Even worse you have to listen to Danica Patrick on Sky
i used this website to buy it because i couldnt figure out how else to get it
then i just use a switzerland vpn on nord vpn to watch it

Hi, I only follow F1 and don’t watch tv so for me this has been a pain for years till I found Streamlocater VPN, I pay F1 tv pro through my apple recurring sub (£70 a year) and then pay £5 a month for the Stream App on my google tv/tablet etc. I have Surfshark VPN i’ve used for years but now and then F1 Pro will stop access in the UK due to Sky putting pressure on, with Streamlocater through I’ve never had an issue, yes i pay for 2 vpn’s now one purely for F1 but as like i say i dont watch any other TV this is ffar the cheapeast and most reliable way. Streamlocater also do a “box” but i havent tried this just the app available from play store etc.
I have a VPN can register for the account but when I use Google Pay it flags and error on the card as my Google Pay cards are all registered in the UK is there any way around this? Would creating a “burner Gmail address” and registering location as Netherlands work?
This is brilliant. thank you!
Netherlands is 11.80 euros per month
How does it work? No matter which region I choose in surfshark it shows a price of $10.99? Even for ZA and IN
Fun fact: hit the “international” button during the race and you’ll get Sky’s full commentary team on audio as well… 
I forgot to tell u how to actually bye it, change your country to a f1tv pro country and then buy it through Apple Pay or google store. Don’t use a credit card.
