Live F1 without Sky?

Anyone know if this is possible?

I do not have a satellite so cannot try to get RTL (like people were doing last year)

My brother has moved to Canada so I can no longer use his Sky Go, my mum won't have the HD pack so I can't use hers.

And I am not paying VM for all the sports when I would never watch the other channels.

What do you suggest?

    It was hilarious actually. Much in the Monty Python vein.

    But basically the answer is no. Sorry. If you want all the F1 in Ireland you'll have to get Sky. Query - In Ireland don't the BBC show some races live and all the highlights too?

    Why not watch it on an internet stream. I'm not sure if I can put a link here, but Google it & you will find numerous streams.

    But I'm England, not Ireland.

    Besides, this is a "money saving" site, it would be cheaper for me to pay VM or pay my mum to pay Sky.

    I was considering this, but am rather wary of the apps. Seems to me that most of these services are risky at best regarding spyware, malware and virii.
