F1 2023 season preview
Today's Monaco Grand Prix takes place over 78 laps of the 3.337-kilometre Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo. Max Verstappen starts on pole, just ahead of the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso. Esteban Ocon starts third. Read on and we'll show you how to watch F1 free online.
This year's 23-race F1 season kicked off with the Bahrain GP on 5th March and finishes in Abu Dhabi on 26th November. Old favourites such as Monaco (28th May) will be joined by new street circuit Las Vegas (18th November).
New drivers include Logan Sargeant at Williams – F1's first American driver in almost eight years – and Nico Hülkenberg, who replaces Mick Schumacher at Haas F1. Oscar Piastri replaces Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen remains hot favourite to secure his third consecutive World Championship, but Mercedes' George Russell and Lewis Hamilton won't make it easy. Ferrari, under new team principal Fred Vasseur, will be looking for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz to convert poles into race wins this year.
There are no major rule changes this year, but F1 has announced six Sprint races for the 2023 F1 season, starting with Baku. Next up: how to watch F1 races online and on TV.

Watch an F1 live stream from anywhere
Most F1 live streams are location-sensitive. So, you won't be able to access to them when travelling away from home. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a small but powerful app that lets you select your preferred location and quickly unblock any F1 live stream – including free streams.
ExpressVPN is our pick of the best VPN services. It's affordable, fast, stable and easy to use. Try it risk-free for 30 days and see for yourself.
How to use a VPN to watch F1 free
1. Sign up to the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the F1, you may wish to choose Austria for Servus TV.
3. Then head over to Servus TV on your browser or device and enjoy the free F1 live stream.
You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance. Both performed very well in our tests.
