I am looking for suggestions for a website to view the Japanese GP on as I am currently in Lithuania, and it would appear that it is not on TV here. TIA
Oh, and what time is the race on at?

Not sure about websites, other than BBC which you probably won't be able to access in Lithuania.
The race starts at 6:00am BST which, if my calculations are correct, is 8:00am in Lithuania - slightly more civilised.

I've been using VPNUK for years
https://www.vpnuk.info/comments.php and use BBC,ITV, SKY Go, netflix 4OD etc all as if I was in the UK, coupled with AppleTV it's the perfect solution for my needs.
It's £5.99 a month for two devices but I doubt you'll want to subscribe to something like this for a one-off.
For motorsports not on BBC or SKY I usually use dodgy streaming sites but they are not always reliable and usually littered with popup adverts,
http://www.stream2watch.co/sports and
http://www.vipleague.me are where I go for MotorsTV, they'll likely have a stream for the F1 as well.

Dom, what was the eventual route for your perusal?

Stream to watch that Kenny suggested (was free and did not ask for credit card details to view).

Cool. All my suggestions are free too - bear in mind I'm a tight Dundonian

I would expect nothing less! I actually tried them too, but was coming up with pop up window asking for my credit card details,... given that I am currently a few miles from the Russian border, I am a bit suspicious of things popping up requesting such details
