It's over for F1 TV after today; it's going to move to Apple TV.

Just pick a location that doesn't need Apple, ie not the USA. Just the same as Sky in the UK.

I tried Netherlands this weekend as a test and it worked absolutely fine.

I'm not clear on this. Is F1 TV continuing?

Yes it’s continuing.

The deal with Apple and F1 is only for the USA, and the content provided will be the same as the current F1TV offering.

For most of the rest of the world ex-UK, F1TV will continue as before.

Same people who watch "Mrs Browns boys" every Christmas and howl with laughter

People you wouldn't want in your house!

If Croft eventually decides to give us a break and fall on his rusty sword, will he please shove Craig Slater onto his beforehand.

Why he has to flap his arms up and down with every syllable spoken is beyond me. He was so excited on Teds notebook last night that his incomprehensible accent became intolerably impossible to listen to.

Hopefully he is not there tonight, it’s Ant and Karun which will be a massive improvement.

Yes, that's really depressing news.

"we're only just getting going!" - if he's referring to getting some understanding of the key subject matters, FFS, how long does he need to "get going"...

But but, you mentioned Croft in January

F1-TV Subscription & VPN suitably diarised for renewal then.
Only other hope is that MB or AD deck him at some point!

He'll just bounce back up like a tellytubby

Away from the mic, he seems to be a thoroughly decent dude https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c89q55d3lepo

Lard arse runs? He'll be the one having a stroke

That's great, just wish he could do some other job.

Exactly! He might be the salt of the earth, who would buy you a beer and help you out if he could, but he is an absolutely WOEFUL commentator!

With the relative complexity of the energy management of the new cars, I have a feeling this thread is going to be exponentially busy in 2026.
What chance has he got to understand any of it?
On the other hand, that could be his chance to compensate with even more BS and stats.

I'm pretty confident there's a 'lights out' pun in there if you like a bit of gallows humour.

I'd forgotten all about Mr. Croft until this topic popped back up to the top of the list, another 10 months to endure his voice screaming down my ears, lovely!
