Australian GP: race preview
Going two-for-two and with both drivers topping the podium once, the world's fastest purveyors of fizzy pop certainly do appear to be have been given wings. In fact, Red Bull already seem so dominant that the rest of the pack – and those watching at home – seem far more interested in who's going to be securing the third champagne-spraying position.
FP1 and FP2 were some of the most exciting practice sessions in recent history. Verstappen took an uncharacteristic spin, as did Yuki Tsunoda, and GPS issues saw the track become crowded and put a spanner in a number of drivers' works. Then the heavens opened. What's next?!
Melbourne's Albert Park has never been a favorite of Lewis Hamilton's, and this could be an excellent chance for George Russell to assert yet more dominance in the Mercedes garage. However, with Ferrari looking somewhat lackluster a couple of weeks ago, Leclerc and Sainz will no doubt be pushing hard to bag their first podium of the season.
Be warned – for those not living Down Under this weekend's timings are going to be punishing. However, if you're truly committed, read on for how to watch an Australian Grand Prix live stream from start to finish and from anywhere in the world, including ways to watch an F1 live stream for FREE with English-language commentary.

How to watch the Australian Grand Prix live stream from outside your country
If you're abroad for this weekend's Australian Grand Prix, you'll likely find you're unable to access your usual Formula 1 coverage like you would at home. This isn't necessarily cause for alarm, but rather the result of geo-blocking – best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world.
Fortunately, there's a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you whizz around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe trot and still access your preferred F1 live stream. It's a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use – allow us to explain more.
