There will be one in the future. They basically had to rush to get this completed by this point in the season, so thats why its web only at the moment. If you're not one who like beta testing something, I'd wait until next race to still get the promo pricing.

Yeah, it should be available on the Fire TV/Fire Stick and Roku etc after a few races.

Stream is broken often: black screen or buffering or your a minutes back of live coverage...
No HD!
Switching between the driver cameras does need minutes...
And this is the experience of 2 free practices today - guess qualify and race will have the same result.
I have now glue why F1 does not use a fully working streaming provider.
Also, in germany you can watch the television progra, live and in hd bia internet without problems....

This is all temporary. There were obviously issues but its not always going to be this way. It was in HD, and streaming it after it completed worked pretty much fine.

If you're unwilling to deal with some hiccups, wait until after this weekend to sign up.

Streaming after works fine - nice yoke... live is live and not black screen or buffering...
They are not able to handle such a amount of users with the current architecture provided by tata. We have also much trouble in our company with our offices in india driven by tata communications....

I had NO problem watching Free Practice 2 here at my office, and the internet here SUCKS.

Were you streaming afterwards or watching it live?

The price isn't the same for all the countries.....170 euros/year for France

Live

I got the $25/yr package. Some things I noticed while watching:
Not easy to find full races in 2018 archive, but they are there. Older seasons are there too!!! How about that?
The sound options suck. Either commentary or engine noise, not both. WTF?!
Can't tell if this is a true HD feed or not. Has anyone checked?

I'm going to watch Round 1 race tonight.

Muha, now the next issue occur:
You've reached the maximum number of concurrent streams on your account.
To watch F1 TV on this device, please stop watching on one of your other devices

I have definitve only one device active...
