The long wait is over – the official 2024 F1 schedule is here! The season kicks off with pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit, followed by the Bahrain Grand Prix on the same circuit the week after.
This year’s Formula 1 calendar is the longest yet with 24 races, including six sprint races. China returns this season and there have been several movements in the calendar, such as the Japanese Grand Prix being held in April instead of September.
While fans wonder if Max Verstappen and Red Bull will continue their dominance, all eyes are set on the upcoming “silly season.” That began with Lewis Hamilton’s shock announcement of his move to Ferrari in 2025. With more than half of drivers’ contracts ending at the end of 2024, it’s surely going to be a long and exciting season.
You can stream the races on a range of different channels and platforms, but if you’re traveling abroad, you may need a VPN to access your usual streaming service. Use CyberGhost VPN to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix in the best quality wherever you are.

Why Stream the 2024 Formula 1 Races with a VPN
Some streaming platforms are only available in certain countries due to licensing restrictions. This can be a problem when you’re traveling abroad. A VPN changes your IP address so you can access your usual streaming platforms while you’re away from home and stream F1 as usual.
If the Wi-Fi at your school or workplace blocks streaming services, a VPN can help. It encrypts your traffic so networks can’t detect your activity, meaning they can’t stop you streaming.
Whether it’s for traveling or getting around network restrictions, here’s how you can use CyberGhost VPN to stream F1:
- Get CyberGhost VPN.
- Connect to a server. If you’re in the US, choose our streaming-optimized server for ESPN.
- Watch Formula 1 live!
