How to watch for free: The Mexican GP will stream for free on RTBF Auvio. You can use a VPN like ExpressVPN, our pick for location spoofing, to connect to a server in Belgium and catch the action for free. In the US, you may be able to watch for free with a streaming trial from Apple TV.

Kimi Antonelli won the US Grand Prix last week, but couldn't clinch the world championship as his rivals George Russell and Lewis Hamilton finished within fighting distance. At the Mexican GP this weekend, the path is much clearer for the 20-year-old as he needs just two more points to clinch the title. Even if Antonelli fails to score those points, a Mexican GP win for someone other than Russell or Hamilton will make him the youngest-ever F1 champion in history.

At 23 years and 134 days, the record is currently held by Red Bull legend Sebastian Vettel. If Antonelli brings it down to 20, it's going to take one heck of a prodigy to beat it.

The track for this weekend is the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. Drivers will take 71 laps of the 2.67-mile track with 17 turns. Though the number of corners is fewer in comparison to recent races, drivers will be challenged by tire grip and thin air at the high-altitude track. McLaren's Lando Norris won here last year, but recent form makes Max Verstappen or Antonelli the favorites to win.

With Antonelli on the brink of F1 history, you won't want to miss any action this weekend. Here's how you can watch the F1 Mexican Grand Prix live using a streaming subscription, free trial, or VPN.

How to Watch the F1 Mexican GP Online for Free

If you're in Belgium, you can stream the race for free via RTBF Auvio. If you're in the US or elsewhere, you can try accessing the platform using a virtual private network (VPN).

For the Mexican GP, we recommend using Express VPN, our top VPN pick for location spoofing. With servers across the globe, ExpressVPN lets you obfuscate your actual location and unlock geo-restricted content.

Follow these steps to watch the F1 Mexican GP using a VPN:

• Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (like ExpressVPN).

• Download the VPN app on your preferred device.

• Connect to a server in Belgium.

• Visit RTBF Auvio and start streaming.

Note: If you're asked to add a postal code during sign-up, enter a postal code for the region where you want to connect your server to avoid disruption.

The best VPN services that let you pick a preferred server location aren’t usually free. Many of these services, however, offer free trials for first-time users. If you can take advantage of that, you’ll be able to stream the F1 Mexican Grand Prix at no additional cost.
