F1 Insights

There’s nothing worse than losing signal right before lights out. Between mobile tickets, live timing apps, and sharing race-day moments on social media, Formula 1 weekends demand a strong data connection. Yet at most circuits, overloaded networks and weak Wi-Fi make staying online a real challenge.

That’s where Saily, Fastway1’s newest partner, comes in. Powered by Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN and NordPass, Saily helps F1 fans stay connected anywhere in the world with fast, reliable eSIM data.

Whether you’re heading to Monaco, Singapore, or Austin, here’s how Saily keeps you online all weekend.

The connectivity problem every F1 fan faces

Hundreds of thousands of fans use the same networks to congregate during Formula One weekends. When everyone tries to upload videos or check the F1 app at the same time, mobile data slows to a crawl and Wi-Fi at circuits is frequently spotty.

That type of infrastructure isn't commonplace everywhere, even in cases where networks hold up, such as the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which needed special 5G upgrades just to keep fans connected. Local Wi-Fi is simply insufficient for the majority of races.

Meet Saily — the eSIM built for travel

Saily is an iOS and Android digital SIM (eSIM) service that eliminates the need for physical SIM cards, kiosks, and roaming costs by enabling instantaneous data plan purchases and activations via the app.

It operates in more than 200 nations, including all of the 2025–2026 Formula 1 host locations. You can easily choose a plan that suits your travel schedule, with options ranging from 1 GB for 7 days to 20 GB for a year.

Why F1 fans love Saily:

  • Works seamlessly across multiple races and countries
  • Avoids expensive roaming fees
  • Connects to top-tier local networks for strong signal at busy events
  • Takes just a few minutes to install — right from your phone
  • Backed by Nord Security, ensuring privacy and data protection on the go

Why Saily is perfect for F1 travellers

1. Cross-border convenience

Many fans travel between races in Europe or Asia — like Spain → Monaco → Austria. With Saily, there’s no need to buy new SIMs or swap cards. Just pick a regional or global plan that covers every stop on your calendar.

2. Fast, secure data wherever you are

Saily connects automatically to the best available local network, ensuring smooth browsing, streaming, and live timing updates. Each plan uses leading carriers in its region for consistent performance.

3. Transparent pricing

You see your data limits, plan duration, and top-up options clearly before purchase — no hidden roaming charges or surprise bills.

4. Easy setup in minutes

After downloading the Saily app, choose your plan, scan the QR code, and you’re done. No store visits, no paperwork, no waiting.

How much data you’ll actually need at a Grand Prix

Here’s what most fans use during a race weekend:

  • Social media posts & browsing: 300–500 MB
  • Navigation/maps: 50–100 MB
  • Live timing in F1 App: 200–400 MB
  • Short video uploads & clips: 500 MB–1 GB

So for a typical 3-day race weekend, expect around 2 GB of data if you’re active online. Saily’s calculator helps estimate this before you buy.

How to use Saily at your next F1 race

  1. Check your phone compatibility. Most newer iPhones, Samsungs, and Google Pixels support eSIM.
  2. Install the Saily app (iOS or Android).
  3. Pick your plan — local, regional, or global.
  4. Activate your eSIM via QR code before travel or on arrival.
  5. Stay connected for live updates, navigation, and sharing the action.

Pro tip: Download offline maps and race schedules just in case, and always carry a power bank for those long F1 days.

Why Fastway1 partnered with Saily

Final thoughts

Your internet connection shouldn't be as fast-paced, international, or unpredictable as Formula 1 travel. Saily's eSIMs allow you to stay connected across continents, avoid roaming fees, and concentrate on what really matters—enjoying the race.

Get Saily before you take off and use Fastway1 to travel more efficiently, regardless of whether you're a lifelong fan or organizing your first Grand Prix.
