TL;DR: Sign up for a 7-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels to watch select F1 races for free.

This season of F1 is strange for a number of reasons. 
The new regulations continue to result in a lot of uncertainty, which can lead to unpredictable racing. 
That's what we all want as fans, but even though every race has felt like a lottery, we've only had four race winners from two teams this season. 
That's exactly the sort of thing these new rules were designed to avoid. 
What will we see from the Belgian GP? 
Will Kimi Antonelli recover to claim another victory? 
Or will Ferrari build on impressive wins at the Barcelona-Catalunya GP and British GP ? 
I'd love to see a driver from another team make the leap. 
Verstappen and the McLaren duo must be chomping at the bit to claim maximum points.

How to watch the Belgian GP for free 
I subscribe to Amazon Prime for the fast shipping, exclusive Prime Day deals , and access to Prime Video. 
It's this access to Prime Video that becomes all-important for F1 fans. 
It is now possible to sign up for a seven-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels. 
F1 is exclusive to Apple TV in the U.S., so by accessing this free trial, you can watch select races for free this season. 
The subscription costs £9.99 per month after the trial ends, but you can cancel this renewal at any time. 
By cancelling ahead of the renewal, you can watch the Belgian GP this weekend without spending anything. 
I subscribe to Amazon Prime, so am I really watching for free? 
It's up for debate, but Amazon Prime does offer a 30-day free trial period if you're new to the service. 
By signing up for this free trial and then gaining access to Apple TV through Prime Video Channels, you can truly watch select races for free this season. 
If you've already used this hack to watch a race this season, there are some alternative workarounds. 
My recommendation is to go direct to Apple TV. 
This popular steaming service comes with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. 
Alternatively, Apple One bundles Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness Plus, Apple News Plus, and 50GB of iCloud Storage for $19.95 per month after a one-month free trial. 
The best Apple TV free-trial offer comes with purchases of new Apple devices. 
New subscribers can get three months of Apple TV for free after purchasing any eligible Apple product. 
If you're planning on buying something from Apple, you could gain access to Apple TV for a pretty large chunk of this season. 
You will obviously need to buy something, but if you were already in the market for an upgrade, this method makes a lot of sense.
