The 2021 F1 season has started and as we well know, by now you may be wondering how to watch Formula 1 for free. Because yes, this year promises. The evolution of the single-seaters has been just and necessary, so the slightest change, such as that of the RedBull and its hasty 2022 Honda engine can make the difference to put the season uphill for the Mercedes and especially Lewis Hamilton .
For us this year has several more incentives, specifically two: the return of Fernando Alonso to Formula 1, and the signing of Carlos Sainz by Ferrari. What we have seen so far makes us suspect that Esteban Ocon is going to spend a tough season next to the 'nano'. While on the other hand, in the Fiorano team, they have the pressure to return to what they were after many years of drought. The beautiful fight, for now, between Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz seems to promise us many podiums in the future.
And if we get exquisite and we are really lovers of motor sports, we can continue to find incentives to try to see Formula 1 for free, such as:
Mick Shumacher debuts at HaasIt is not the best team but we have all had a few beginnings. The team needed a German driver as part of the agreement with one of its main sponsors, One & One. The Kaiser's son has arrived to try to raise again the great name that he carries behind him. On the other hand Sebastian Vettel starts again at Aston Martin. A team that has restructured and is trying to take another step forward.
The fight in Redbull Racing is served, since we have to two of the best racers on the grid, Checo and Max, and they're on the same team. It is difficult to be at the height of the most promising young man in Formula 1, but Checo Pérez we know that he fights like nobody else. Redbull is still looking to take that constructors' championship from Mercedes and Checo Pérez is fundamental to fight with Valterri Bottas.
For all these reasons is why We have decided to try to help you see Formula 1 for free. This millimetric and precious sport needs to reign in Spain again and we hope that our pilots will do so in it. Here is a list of the best options to enjoy it.
How to watch F1 for free: all methods
DAZN has come to our country with great force, stepping on the accelerator. The streaming platform has gained strength among the public and has become a trend among sports viewers.

Movistar F1
Until now, Formula 1 had to be seen from the Movistar F1 channel belonging to Telefónica Movistar, but with the entry of DAZN it has changed. Even so, what they have signed in their agreement does not eliminate Movistar and They continue to broadcast Formula 1 and Moto GP content from their mobile app and television under the name DAZN. Specifically, these contents will be broadcast on channels DAZN 1 and DAZN 2, dial 59 and 60 of Movistar + respectively.
Therefore, if you have contracted the engine package with Movistar +, you will have Formula 1 available and you will be able to enjoy the races as you have done so far from all its platforms and channels.
F1 Tv Pro and F1 TV Access
The official service of Liberty Media, the owner of Formula 1. Here you can get absolutely all the necessary information about the season.

The price of the subscription without advertising is around the € 6.50 to € 9,80 per month. With this you will also have access to other categories such as Formula 2 or the Porsche SuperCup.
TVE and F1 2021 deferred
Although it is not confirmed, last year the Spanish Grand Prix, in Montmeló, was broadcast on a delayed basis on Spanish Television. With the current agreement between DAZN and Movistar, it is likely that we will return to see Formula 1 for free on TVE. Holmes, F1's director of rights pointed out that one of his goals was to grow the Formula 1 in Spain and that they had a good package of open rights already secured. Therefore we see more than likely that this will happen again.
See Formula 1 for free through the official The Dream VR app
The world is changing towards virtual reality and Liberty Media, owner of Formula 1, does not want to be left behind. It has reached a agreement with Dream VR to be eligible to see F1 in virtual reality. The Spanish firm has managed to go one step further and be able to broadcast this content in 360º thanks to the technology of virtual reality glasses.
The Dream VR service is available for more than 180 countries and thanks to it you can be present in the paddock, garages, starting grid, even in the final podium celebration with champagne, so be careful not to get splashed.
In any case, for now, it is a limited service, and it does not have exclusivity with Formula 1, it only broadcasts part of the calendar. Hopefully it is part of our future options to make the leap to virtual reality.
See Formula 1 for free using IPTV or satellite dishes
One of those methods where you're going to spend € 0 So yes, you can watch Formula 1 for free with IPTV. IPTV or satellite services are a good option and they do not have to be illegal, everything will depend on you.

Plexuses: It is highly recommended to install this addon as it complements Adryanlist. Thanks to Plexus you can watch p2p channels with Sopcast and AceStream. In order to install it you have to go to the Kodi programs section.
Acestream and Sopcast: two perfect addons in which you can watch channels. You will have to have previously installed Plexus.

An option similar to Wiseplay, only in this case, without adding lists or anything similar. The app we are talking about is YouTVPlayer for Android. You will not be able to find this app in Google Play but you can download it from the Internet by searching for its apk.
Once you have the apk installed on your Android device, It will ask you for a Facebook or email account to register for free. Then you can access and search for the channel that you like the most.

A good option of a lifetime, not to pay to see Formula 1 2021, if you don't mind not seeing it, is to listen to it. Many websites have YouTube channels where they comment on all the Grand Prix. You will not miss a thing.
On the other hand, as you may already know, in Spain we continue to listen to the radio, and generalist networks also broadcast live F1 content. You just have to have an MP4 player with integrated radio or an app on your mobile. The radios we have in Spain are Cadena Ser, Onda Cero, Cope, Radio Marca ...
If you are outside of Spain and want to listen to F1, you can do it with ESPN in the case of Latin America.
Other ways to watch F1 for free
There are many more alternatives, although it is true that they are no longer used as much because they can fail or stop working. Even so, we are going to collect some for you so that you have each option available and you can choose.
mobdra
One of the best known to enjoy football. It has a good quality and great variety in addition to being totally free. Of course, you should not look for lists such as Splive TV. You will only have to search for the channels and once you tune in, enjoy.
The downside of Modbro is that it was removed from Google Play. So you will have to download its apk and install it on your own at your own risk.
To View Live TV
ToView Live TV is another of those apps that you can use to watch free-to-air and live television in the UK through your pc, tablet or phone. Even from a video game console.
It works in a way very easy and once you install it through the app store of your device, you will only have to access and choose the channel you want to watch. The problem is that the app only works on users within the UK or for any citizen of the country who is abroad and has a license.
See Formula 1 for free on Streaming and VPN
As you know, many websites offer content from streaming channels. Sometimes it can be legal and sometimes not. Many media broadcast openly but block by areas and that has an easy solution.
Using a VPN will change our IP and we will be able to access those contents. There are many services to have our VPN both free and paid. Some may be HotSport Shield (for Windows, MacOS, Ios, and Android), or similar ones (VPN One Click, HideIP VPN, USAIP, ItsHidden, for Linux). In Apple's Sotre App and Google Play you will find VPN apps.
As a curiosity we will also have a project called AlphaCentaury and the telete.tv website where you can access and select a channel from among all those that appear to you. In this selection we will have many available such as Movistar F1.
Focusing a little more on AlphaCentaury, this is a virtual IPTV decoder, where you can watch Movistar + channels. It simulates using software the operation of a classic and physical decoder, like the one you could have in your house if you paid for a telephone service. We don't have to tell you that this method is not very legal.
See Formula 1 for free with Wiseplay
This app works from 10 and you can download it from Google Play. It can be similar to how Kodi works since you can add lists or links to enter different channels of different topics. You can watch from DTT to Formula 1 for free.
To help you a little more in the face of Formula 1 we can tell you that, once you install Wiseplay from Google Play, you will only have to add the Formula 1 list. It is true that sometimes it may not work for you, but you can search more lists by Google.
To add these links or lists to Wiseplay you will only have to open the app and click on the + button on the back of its main screen. Two options will appear, one to add the list from QR or another to add from URL.
Wisplay may ask you to install Acceplayer, so you will only have to download it since the app itself will give you its download link. Our advice is that you use the computer version and from there you connect via HDMI to your television, it is much more comfortable.
