    It’s possible, or perhaps likely, that Apple will obtain exclusive rights to F1 streaming in the US and therefore withhold access from F1 TV.

    Tim Apple, you better not. F1TV is excellent.

      I’m in the UK where some other old bastards own the rights. I have to VPN from Belgium/Netherlands (fastest locations) to use my F1TV subscription, which I have to pay for via Google Pay because it obfuscates where my bank is located (they’ll refuse payment if they know I pay from a UK bank account).

      Look forward to having your F1TV experience absolutely ruined! 👌 I’ve found that my streaming likes to buffer just before T1 on about 90% of races.

        Always wondered how well this works, it always seemed a bit risky to me since it could just stop working and your money is wasted. I never usually watch the races live, otherwise I might have given this a try.

          It’s worked for me since the start of the 2022 season so it’s fairly reliable, and the back catalogue is worth it for me to pay anyway, but yeah it’s not as stress-free as I’d like 😂
