- Stream Austrian Grand Prix free on ORF On (Austria restricted)

You can watch the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix live on ORF On today. That's right, the F1 is free-to-air in some countries!
The one catch is that commentary is in German. If you're fluent in the language, great. If you're not, it's not a huge biggie because the cars speak for themselves – with a few expletives from Max Verstappen thrown in, not least because he had a nightmare Qualifying session.
He starts from 7th, behind Liam Lawson of all people, while Lando Norris is on pole, with Charles Leclerc separating him from Oscar Piastri.
So how can you watch the Austrian Grand Prix on ORF On from anywhere? Can you get the free Austrian Grand Prix stream in the UK, US or Canada? And is ORF On available as a smartphone app?
