I think ESPN have the US rights to F1. if not do some search on here there are a couple of websites to watch it on.

What about Sky Go?

When I lived out there, we watched it on Speed channel, and dare i say it the coverage was a lot better. Lots of technical features and coverage of all sessions practice qually etc. iirc peter windsor did all the presenting.

only problem is i dont think speed it available on standard cable. I had direct tv satellite

it shouldnt be too hard to find a sports bar thats showing it.

how about bbc.co.uk as it is going to be live on good ol' Aunty Beeb.

content on bbc.co.uk is only available to UK users unless your running a VPN (connection to someone else in the UK first, then connect to BBC)

if you have Sky which by the sounds you do, SKY go would be my choice, they have apps for android and iOS devices.

however if thats no good and your thinking TV, then ESPN have the rights to it in the USA - there is usually a sports bar on the corner somewhere which is bound to have it on

Sky Go is only available in UK and NI which makes me wonder what's the point?

I travel overseas a lot and would love to be able to use Sky Go when I'm away.

speed or espn.

forget about all the other channels, except in canada: you can get so-so coverage with RDS (French) and TSN (English)

Obviously there are people into it over here, but not many. Don't expect a sports bar to have it, and if you ask for it, they likely won't put it on for you.

I'm using a proxy server service to watch iPlayer here in Norway

Usually have to watch Italian GP in florida on hols on Speed channel. Last year it was in a home cinema with a 10ft screen, which was cool. However, at that location, Speed seems to be on the notch above the free subscription level, so you might not always have access. Also bear in mind that in USA a sports bar might be more interested in showing a NASCAR re-run rather than that funny F1 thing the rest of the world watches. I can also confirm that BBC blocks viewing outside UK - my company web feed comes from Switzerland head office server (daft, but thats the way it is) and it thinks im in switzerland, as a result BBC website hides stuff and gives you adverts all over the place
