I know it’s a rookie question, but what are some good sites to stream F1 races in English?

    #Notice We shall be banning discussion around F1 piracy in this community next week.

    We will not take any actions until the rules are posted in their entirety in the sidebar.

    Would recommend F1TV as you’re in the US. It’s very reasonably priced, and has loads of extra functionality and a reasonable picture quality.

    Can’t imagine watching F1 on a dodgy stream at 25fps.

      +1 for F1TV. If you have it in your country then there is no reason to pirate. Right now the pre qualy show is about to start with Laura Winter and Lawrence Barretto, Will is on paternity leave. The package really makes the rawe ceek come alive IMO.

      (edit) ooh they have Jean Alesi joining them for the pre quali show, and they are doing the show from the pitlane as the teams are getting ready. Top stuff.

    You haven’t stated your geographic location… but the common paid/legitimate approach is https://f1tv.formula1.com/ if it’s available in your area. If you are a sky subscriber, I think they have an online thing too.

    Mods are working on community rules, and starting next week discussion of pirate sources will be against community rules. For now they’re taking no action on piracy threads and than to make an advisory comment similar to this one (I’m not a mod though), as they haven’t finalized/published the rules. But non-legit sources won’t be kosher to discuss next week.

    F1TV says “delayed race” coverage. What does this mean? If the race isn’t live, how far behind is it? Am in the UK, wondering if the £20 a year is worth it.

    Don’t have or want Sky but believe they’re the only way I can get race coverage on the day?

      You can get it fully live at F1tv as well for a higher cost. Thats what I do so I cannot really say how delayed the cheaper account is, but I suspect it won’t be available until after the race is concluded.
      F1tv includes a lot of live stuff other than the main feed; “international” commentary, technical standing (tire age, track position etc) and helmet cam for most (all?) drivers. All of this can be switched between but also watched at the same time if you have multiple screens or use MultiViewer

        In addition to all the cams, I enjoy the F1 TV commentary more then sky’s. They don’t worry about stirring up any drama and don’t have the British bias sky has. Alex Jacques does a great job and brings the excitement, Palmer and Coulthard have their F1 experience to add commentary.

    While you most likely ment free services, I cannot recommend F1 TV top much. It costs only 10€/M which for me is 1.5 beers in bar less every month. I have been able to share my account with few friends and quality is really good.

      I’m paying 8€ monthly somehow?! And it’s really great and only gets better with multiviewer for f1. Being able to see multiple camera positions at once and - as of late - live transcriptions of team radio - is so much fun

          In which country did you subscribe? I had to subscribe on “holiday” in the netherlands because f1tv is not available in my region

            I did it on a… trip to France for the same reason, since I didn’t feel like paying Sky almost 40€ a month for the full sports package

              Sky sucks balls. The technology, the user support, the prices, and even the content is lacking. Especially when compared to f1tv

                Never tried Sky, but as long as they don’t suck my balls I don’t see a reason to.
