F1's New Reasonably Priced Live Stream Will Be Here In May
F1's New Reasonably Priced Live Stream Will Be Here In May-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:16

The worst part of caring about sporting events but not TV programs in general is that if you want to watch Formula One, you usually have to pay for 10,000 channels and the drama series where Chad and Susie are on again, off again. Not anymore, because you can stream all the F1 coverage you want starting in May.

F1 in October, after viewers in a Reddit suggestion thread rightfully . It was also after ESPN in the U.S. by from Britain, and drastically compared to NBC’s broadcast deal in recent years.

But the real F1 stream will finally exist, soon. F1 said Friday that the stream will be here in time for the Spanish Grand Prix in May, after of testing . Here are more details on the service, from :

F1 TV will have two service levels at two different price points. F1 TV Pro, the premium tier, will feature live races and all 20 driver-cameras, as well as side-by-side live race viewing and additional exclusive feeds. [...] All of practice, qualifying and races will be offered live, along with press conferences and pre- and post-race interviews. Later in the season, the main support series FIA Formula 2 Championship, GP3 Series and Porsche Supercup will be added to the service.

F1 TV will initially launch on desktop. Apple, Android and Amazon Fire mobile and tablet devices will launch shortly thereafter. By summer, the service will also be available to fans on Amazon Fire TV, Android TV and Apple TV. [...]

A less expensive, non-live subscription tier, F1 TV Access will provide live race timing data and radio broadcasts, as well as extended highlights of each session from the race weekend. It will also be underscored by unprecedented access to archive video content from the amazing historic archive owned by Formula 1. F1 TV Access will be available on a near-global basis at launch [...]

The sport that its streaming service would arrive in 2018, offering coverage in multiple languages for between $8 and $12 monthly, or $70 and $150 annually. F1 said that the price will depend on the tier and market.

But when the season opener in Australia came around, the streaming service was nowhere to be found and F1 of when it would be ready. Viewers around the world were left to do what they usually do, while the U.S. was stuck with that cut to commercial in the middle of commentators’ sentences since Sky Sports does commercial-free coverage. ESPN has since apologized to everyone by for the rest of the year, and broadcasts have gone well since.

That still doesn’t change the fact that you usually have to pay monthly for the channel documenting Chad and Susie’s continual breakups to get ESPN, and if you’re just really sick of Chad’s attitude, you can drop the 10,000 channels next month and just pay for F1. With the way the season is going, you can probably predict as easily as you can predict their next breakup.

Hopefully once the stream rolls out, F1 will start fixing too. After all, we can’t watch the stream if F1’s website burns our eyes out first.

When Ayrton Senna Had A Joke On Williams And Sonic The Hedgehog
When Ayrton Senna Had A Joke On Williams And Sonic The Hedgehog
See that ‘Roadkill Hedgehog’ sticker on Senna’s 1993 McLaren MP4/8? It was his message to Williams and their very fast Frenchman Alain Prost. Both Williams F1 and the European Grand Prix were sponsored by SEGA and their Sonic the Hedgehog franchise at the time. McLaren could have used that money...

Meet The Progenitor Of The Carbon Fiber Chassis
In 1981, McLaren won the British Grand Prix with the world’s first carbon fiber monocoque race car, the MP4/1. Today, all high-end road cars use the same technology, and we can thank John Barnard (and Salt Lake City) for that. When John Bernard got back from the United States after...

The Scariest Engine
The Scariest Engine
I strongly believe that the Lancia Delta S4 Group B prototype has to be the nastiest, deadliest and most potent automobile ever created by a major car company, mostly because it’s powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine built by crazy people. The good folks at dug up this video from...

Matt Kenseth's NASCAR Feud With Joey Logano Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Remember the end of last year, when NASCAR’s headlines were all dominated with between Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano? It’s baaaaaaaack! This time, Kenseth blamed Logano for contact during today’s Talladega race and gave him a bit of a warning as they were both outside the infield care center. The...
