Simply put, ITV doesn't let anyone outside of the UK watch their online F1 broadcasts.
See what I mean: http://www.itv-f1.com/VideoLive.aspx
This sucks. Here is a way around it; you will need Firefox for this to work.

Step 1: Google "UK Proxies"
Step 2: Click the first result. The list you see is a list of proxies, which we will use to make it look like we are in the UK.
Step 3: In Firefox, click Tools > Options > Advanced
Step 4: Click the "Settings" button under the "Connection" sub-menu.
Step 5: Click the "Manual Proxy Connection" dot.
Step 6: Select an IP and port from the list we found in Google, and enter it into the boxes in Firefox.
Step 7: Check the box that says "Use this proxy connection for all protocols"
Step 8: Press "OK," then "OK" again to get out of the menu
Step 9: Return to the live broadcast section of ITV F1. Look, it works!

Here is a suplementary video if you don't get what I'm talking about; it's blurry, but you will be able to see where I put everything in.

Enjoy the Grand Prix tonight! Here is the link, again, to the live broadcast site:

Don't proxies have a limit to the amount of data you can get through them?

I don't think they do; I just streamed the entire, 3 hour Grand Prix through the proxy last night. It was fun!

I tried the config suggested but when I do - I can't access anything through the browser! I connect through a wireless router - do I need to change any settings in that box?

For some reason, even though I am using a UK ISP, and my IP location shows to be in the UK, ITV.com thinks I'm not a UK resident.

Good thing that ITV don't get to make a mess of the F1 next year

Pity about Hamilton today, I'm beginning to doubt his chances of winning this year

Yeah, the site seems to be broken or something.  
Which sucks, because I can't see how many fantasy points I got from the last race.
