Beware of them as they are trying to steal your money. I made a pro subscription for which i couldnt get what i was promised. Then i was told that if i wanted to get refund i would have to do it my self via apple as i paid via my wallet. What a scam.

I thought f1 tv was poorly managed…
I thought f1 tv was poorly managed before. But now they have become more greedy and teamed up with apple crap tv. And if you dont own the latest apple crap devices or you are an android owner (im a andriod user), then you are screwed. Apple crap takes your money (On time) and offers crap as a return service. The app must be reset on every use. In order to watch on another device (tv or tablet) it requires you to reset your password evertime (im on my 3rd password change in 4 months) or in the last instance I had to cancel the current subscription to create a new one in order to watch it on my andriod tv. And all of this just to watch what is already viewed as sub-par programing. Apple and f1 tv sucks a__. They make it impossible to be a fan.

Expensive
Expensive, Restrictive, and Completely Unfit for Global Fans
As someone who has followed Formula 1 for over 30 years and attended five races in person, I don’t say this lightly — F1 TV is one of the most frustrating and poorly executed streaming services I’ve ever paid for.
After three months of paying for a subscription, I’ve come to the conclusion that this platform is borderline unusable for anyone who travels.
A “Global” Service That Isn’t Global
Formula 1 presents itself as a global sport, yet its official streaming platform is locked behind aggressive regional restrictions. Where you are physically located determines whether you can watch anything at all.
If you travel — even temporarily — you can instantly lose access to content you’ve already paid for. That completely defeats the purpose of having a streaming service in the first place.
You Pay — But You Still Can’t Watch
The most outrageous part is that having a subscription means absolutely nothing. You can log in, be fully paid up, and still be told you can't access content.
Instead, the platform throws vague messages like “update your subscription” without providing any actual way to fix the issue.
Paying customers should not be locked out of a service they’ve already purchased — full stop.
No Support, No Clarity, No Accountability
There is no clear path to resolve these issues. No proper explanation of what’s wrong. No meaningful support flow to fix it.
You are essentially left paying for something you cannot use, with no way to put it right.
A Total Failure of Its Core Purpose
F1 TV was supposed to make watching Formula 1 easier. Instead, it does the opposite:
Blocks content depending on your location
Invalidates your paid subscription
Provides no clear resolution when things go wrong
For a travelling fan, it’s completely useless.
My verdict, it feels Like a Cash Grab
After decades of following the sport and attending races in person this is incredibly disappointing. This should be the definitive platform for fans. Instead, it feels like a poorly thought-out product with no real consideration for how modern fans actually watch F1.
It is possibly a product of our sports new American owners? No way to contact and no recourse. This is a global sport, it was born in Europe not in the USA if you turn it into a commodity, you will loose its appeal.
Expensive, restrictive, and fundamentally unreliable. If you travel at all, don’t waste your money , if you're from the UK like i am, record it and watch it on Sky Sports F1, much better coverage with Martin Brundle
Real analysis with proper pundits; people like most importantly Martin Brundle , Karun Chandhok, Anthony Davidson & Ted Kravitz, with a foundation and underpinned by Natalie Pinkham, Rachel Brookes, Craig Slater, Naomi Schiff & Jamie Chadwick can be found on Sky Sports F1, sadly they do not support international travelling fans either. it seems its all about the money.
In summary. And as an avid F1 fan of more than 30+ years. Crap!

F1 TV is awful
F1 TV is awful. The presenters are dreadful especially JP Montaya. His bias against Max is insane. Presenters can be critical of drivers but there has to be some balance. Every time this man is given a voice he criticizes Max. I assume F 1 TV don't want the 18 million followers of Max to subscribe?

Graaiers / scammers
Automatische incasso - verlopen betaalmiddel - mislukt, vrijwel direct abonnement door hen beeindigd. Enige optie is om een nieuw abonnement te kopen dat > 50% duurder is. Zo wil formula1 blijkbaar met vaste klanten omgaan.
Deze klant gaat weg als het zo gaat.

Scammed
Scammed. Paid for years but they sold the broadcasting rights and blocked streaming for me. And no refunds of course. Doesn’t matter: F1 is dead with the new rules, it’s just a money circus now. Hopefully F1TV will go down with it. I’m out.
