Live streaming of the 2021 F1 French Grand Prix will begin soon. After the chaos of the previous race in Azerbaijan, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are looking to get back on track.

Two weeks ago in historic Baku, Verstappen crashed out with five laps to go with a tire problem, while Hamilton made an uncharacteristic mistake in second place and finished out of the points. Today, however, they will be able to make up for that: Verstappen will take pole position ahead of Hamilton, while his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas will be third on the grid.

The Circuit Paul Ricard is one of the most famous circuits on the F1 calendar and has been in use since the early 1970s. It has a mix of low, medium, and high-speed corners, not to mention many opportunities for overtaking.

What will the race be like? All will be revealed shortly, read on to find out how you can watch the live stream of the 2021 F1 French Grand Prix from anywhere.

Just because you're in another country doesn't mean you can't watch the F1 French Grand Prix live stream using the streaming service you've already paid for. With a Virtual Private Network (VPN), you can connect to the service of your choice via a server in your country so you can watch the race without having to resort to lower quality options.

We have tested many VPN services and right now we think the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the majority of users and offers excellent compatibility with most devices and great connection speeds.

ESPN is the best way to watch the French GP live stream in the US.

You can watch through cable services throughout the weekend, and you can also stream the race through the ESPN app and the Watch section of the ESPN website. However, satellite, cable, and live TV provider certification is required to view the sessions. In addition, F1 is not available on ESPN Plus, ESPN's stand-alone streaming service, and requires access to ESPN's live channels.

ESPN is available on most cable packages and cable TV alternatives such as Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu with Live TV. In any case, coverage of the big race begins at 9:00 a.m. ET on Sunday.

If you somehow don't want to pay for ESPN's live coverage, F1 TV Pro is your best option. This is F1's own official F1 live stream service, which, like ESPN's own broadcasts, uses feeds from Sky Sports F1.

F1 TV Pro costs $10 per month or $80 for the season, a much better deal considering that there are 23 races this year. In addition, you can watch Formula 2, Formula 3, and Porsche Supercup races, as well as archives of classic F1 Grand Prix races.

And if you normally live in the US and are not in the US at the moment, you can still view the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.

As always, "Sky Sports F1" is the home of F1 in the UK, with minute-by-minute coverage of the French GP in up to 4K resolution.

To watch the live stream of the F1 French Grand Prix, you must be a subscriber to Sky Sports. The Sky Sports F1 channel is available for £18 per month, with packages available for a little extra for more channels.

To watch in ultra-high definition 4K, you will need to pay a little more: a Sky Q set-top box and a package that includes both Ultra HD and Sky Sports F1. In total, this comes to £45 per month, or a one-time payment of £20 if you are not an existing subscriber.

A much cheaper option is to purchase the Now Sports Pass. This gives access to all 11 Sky Sports channels for a limited time, with prices starting at £9.99 for a daily pass and £33.99 for a month. However, 4K is not available.

Again, if you are normally based in the UK but are currently elsewhere, you can still watch the services you subscribe to by using one of the best VPN services.

TSN broadcasts all F1 races in Canada in English, while RDS broadcasts in French; F1 TV Pro also remains an option for fans looking for a live F1 stream.

All sessions are broadcast on TSN, and if you receive the network through a cable or satellite provider, you can use TSN Go by signing in with your TV service credentials. Cord cutters will want to check out TSN Direct, which offers daily and monthly passes for $8 or C$20, respectively; the TSN app allows you to stream the races live from your phone, streaming box, or compatible device.

Actually, it's not available in Canada at the moment; ExpressVPN or other VPN services can be used to access the services you already subscribe to.

Fox Sports has the rights to the F1 French GP live stream in Australia, and you can watch the French GP online via Foxtel.

Kayo Sports is another option. This service offers a 14-day free trial to new subscribers, with one-month subscriptions starting at $25.

And with one of the best VPN services, you can follow the matches from your home country even if you are elsewhere.
