Formula 1: This is why RTL does not broadcast the Spa GP race live on TV and live streaming today

In Germany this season there is only one way to watch Formula 1 races on free TV, and that is RTL. However, this is far from true for every breed, but only for four. The Spa Grand Prix is ​​not one of these four races. The next race that is part of RTL’s rights package is the Dutch Grand Prix (Zandvoort), which comes just after Belgium in the race calendar.

On the other hand, who owns the rights to the race today is the pay TV broadcaster Sky. All the sessions of the season are shown there. Today’s broadcast starts at 1.30pm, an hour and a half before the lights turn green. Sascha Roos will take care of the commentary along with expert Timo Glock.

Sky offers the show in Belgium not only on TV, but also in live streaming. Or you need this SkyGo-Subscription or OH.

Anyone who already owns one F1TV-Both can also watch the qualifiers live. At the moment no new subscriptions are possible Sky owns the exclusive rights in Germany.

However, there is also the possibility, like German motorsport fans, ServusTV can receive. You can find the answer here.
