Watching f1 abroad

So I'm on holiday in France and the sky sports app is not letting me watch, even though I'm paying £80 a month for tv and internet. How am I supposed to watch the last 3 races of the season that I paid for? If I don't watch it before the season ends it will likely be spoiled on social media etc.

Try booking your holidays better in the future if F1 is more important to your than your holiday

You will need to watch on the whichever local French broadcaster has the rights.

 

Since Brexit Sky UK customers can no longer use Sky Go abroad (unless you have pre-downloaded content on your device before leaving the country).

The internet says Canal+ has exclusive F1 rights in France

As @MarkGoldsmith indicates, the EU regulation which permitted portability of online content while temporarily resident in another European country no longer applies to UK Sky subscribers.
