US Cord Cutters -- How do you watch F1?
One of the things that keeps me paying for cable service is the joy of watching F1 live (practice, qualifying, and race). I particularly like the Sky sports coverage, and I love that ESPN shows everything without commercial breaks.
I would like to hear the experiences of people in the US who watch F1 races etc. streamed: What is the service, what is the cost, what's the quality, etc. Thanks! |

When I've watched it, I watch using the ESPN app on my Roku.

FUBO. Not the cheapest. Around $69.87/month, but it has all the channels I want, most importantly F1 coverage.

Has anyone subscribed to F1 online streaming? Is it worth it? Can you watch the races live?

I signed up for the F1 channel. I didn't have other options I liked. The coverage is great and quality has been very good so far very good. Yes, you can watch live.

I use Hulu-in part because I want local tv, but also because I want the dvr capability, especially for F1. You can set it to record a series, so you don't have to set it for each race, it does practices qual, and race automatically.

Definitely F1TV... It's the brit feed for the most part, but you also get ALL the in-car feeds, driver press conferences, extra tech analysis, team manager interviews, documentaries, Obviously all practice etc... old races, and.....Porsche Supercup !!!! Honestly the supercup was as fun as F1 to me ! Totally worth the $15 a mo, or whatever it was. I cancelled off season but will re-instate in March.
In terms of cord cutting, I've achieved balance now.. Peacock has Sports cars (daytona, IMSA, Indycar and Yellowstone re:another thread) for $5. Redbull Tv has WRC for free... F1TV for F1. I even "share" FuboTv with a "brother" - they have a lot of sports (NFL, soccer, etc)... All in all 1/3 my cable bill once you factor the kid stuff (disney + Hulu) - used savings on Gig fiber internet and the household is happy. It's a lot of dancing around apps, I'll grant you that... At the same time you end up watching on an Ipad in the hot tub, on your PC while doing mindless work, or you get used to it and waste less time on TV because you go look for what you want.
