You will no longer be able to watch F1TV Pro from countered where it is unavailable, using a VPN. For example, the UK. You will instead see an error about your geographical location.

Don't they have a pool of IP addresses owned by VPN providers? Or is it more sophisticated than that, eg they look at packet headers.

Remember when mobile phone providers would block you if you were tethering to a phone by checking TTL count on the TCP packet headers.
