You will no longer be able to watch F1TV Pro from countered where it is unavailable, using a VPN. For example, the UK. You will instead see an error about your geographical location.

Yeah. I live in the UK, but my F1TV was bought using a VPN to another country. When I go in now and try to rematch last weekends race, I get a geographical error message. Tried different countries on the VPN, same message.

Try Edge, I couldn’t get it to work on Chrome, but Edge worked last weekend with France as VPN location

How can they tell it’s a VPN connection?

I’ve just checked with mine, they claim to be able to obfuscate that I’m using a VPN.

Will find out on Saturday, not looking forward to going back to dodgy streams tbh
