If the live stream of the F1 Turkish Grand Prix is even half as exciting as the last race, you won't want to miss it: two weeks ago at the Russian Grand Prix, with thrilling qualifying, an unexpected grid array, a rookie driver looking for his debut win, and torrential rain that changed everything, It had it all

Yesterday's Istanbul GP was also hit by rain, with several drivers spinning off the track in practice 3 in rather treacherous conditions Qualifying was sunny, but the track surface was still damp and drivers had to avoid the dry line [Lewis Hamilton set the fastest qualifying time ahead of teammates Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen Unfortunately, Lewis Hamilton was unable to take pole position after receiving a 10-place grid demotion penalty for changing an engine component

This gives Red Bull's Max Verstappen a huge advantage in the title race and he will start on the front row with Bottas, who has been in poor form since the announcement of his retirement from Mercedes at the end of this season The Mercedes cars appear to be the better performers in this race, but the smart guess is still that the Flying Dutchman will win

The situation is simple for Hamilton, who, like Verstappen last week, will need to work his way through the field to finish as close as possible to his rival Hamilton leads the championship by just two points with seven races remaining

Just as the weather helped Verstappen in the Russian GP, it could help Hamilton here

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo will start from the back of the grid due to engine-related penalties, while teammates Charles Leclerc (3rd) and Lando Norris (7th) are in a big battle for third in the constructors' championship They are confident of scoring points

The road ahead is a difficult one And the good news is that you can watch the race online via the F1 Turkish Grand Prix live stream

Most countries offer F1 live streams on one of their channels, many of which require a subscription However, if you are lucky enough to live in Austria, you can watch the F1 Turkish Grand Prix live stream for free

This is because it will be broadcast for free on Servus TV, which is owned by Red Bull

If you live in Austria and won't be home for the Turkish GP, don't worry Here is how it works

It is natural to want to watch the F1 Turkish Grand Prix live stream from your home country, but what if you are not there when the race is taking place?

Nothing beats a VPN, or virtual private network, which makes it appear as if you are surfing the Internet from your home country, not the country you are in That means you can access the streaming services you've already paid for from anywhere on the planet Or at least, anywhere you have an Internet connection

For example, a Brit currently in the US can watch a live stream of the F1 Turkish Grand Prix on Sky Sports without being in the UK We have tested many of the best VPN services and our current favorite is ExpressVPN It's fast, works on a variety of devices, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee

The VPN is incredibly easy to use

1 Install the VPN of your choice As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite

2 select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app For example, if you are in the US and want to see UK services, select UK from the list

3 sit back and enjoy the action; go to Sky Sports or another website and watch the race

"ESPN2" is the best way to watch the F1 Turkish Grand Prix live stream in the United States

If you don't want to pay for live ESPN2 coverage in any way, you have the option of F1 TV Pro 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 usual, Sky Sports F1 will broadcast all the action from the Turkish GP in up to 4K resolution The race will start at 1 pm BST
