Have only used Amazon once in 15 years, and that was because work gave us gift cards, saved them up to buy a graphics card. Otherwise will not touch them ever, awful company.
But in terms of F1, there are countless ways you can watch it cheap or free, you just have to be prepared to be a little inventive and get called a thief on here routinely lol. But if you WANT to give money to some of the richest people on earth, to watch a series backed by crooked money billionaires simply coz they told you had to pay, off you go.

You don't get to make a moral stand by stealing content from people you describe as crooks But in terms of F1, there are countless ways you can watch it cheap or free, you just have to be prepared to be a little inventive and get called a thief on here routinely lol.

If you're watching it just pay the price, it's only £60 a year.

You should just do what I did 19 years ago to ensure I don't pay a penny for my F1. Get a job at Sky!

Has anyone who s a new subscriber from the UK had any luck getting this working without going down the Netherlands/Viaply route?
It seems that no matter what country I pick on Surf Shark, when I go to setup a new account after hitting subscribe in the F1 TV app, it s still automatically detecting my location as being the UK?!

What is the turnaround time for Now TV getting the replays up? I watched FP1 live last night and a bit of the F3 qualifying, I'd hoped that FP2 would be up by now.
Previously I had watched F1 at a friend'd house, so it's my first time watching via Now.

If the price of the subscription being offered is £5.99 per month you are good to go. It seems that no matter what country I pick on Surf Shark, when I go to setup a new account after hitting Sunscribe in the F1 TV app, it s still automatically detecting my location as being the UK?!

My NOWTV account is offering 12 months Sky Sports for £19.99 per month for 12 months.
I have F1TV, so no use to me.
I was on that deal but it lapsed this month, but they gave me a "Generous " new offer of £26.99 a month at no input at my end.I have F1TV, so no use to me.
Id cancel and see if i can get a better deal but I'm in surgery on Monday and tbh I want to watch the first race live so ill leave it till when I'm home in a week or so.

I haven t, how would I do that please?You must delete and reinstall the app, as iOS does not have a native "clear cache" button for most apps. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, select the app, and choose Delete App. Then redownload.

It seems I have got it to work on my iPad using Nord & re-locating to the Netherlands. I was scrupulous about deleting the old version of the app, entering an Amsterdam address in Apple Pay & selecting Netherlands as a location when signing up on the F1TV app - noting that for some reason it had defaulted to the UK until I changed it.It seems that no matter what country I pick on Surf Shark, when I go to setup a new account after hitting subscribe in the F1 TV app, it s still automatically detecting my location as being the UK?!

Thought I d give the ViaPlay route a go. I m in Jamaica for the first race and would like to watch it live. I ve signed up for ViaPlay using my VPN set to the Netherlands but I can t download the ViaPlay app! It s saying it s not available in my region. Any suggestions?
If you're on Android you can just download and install the apk. If you're on Apple... well this is one of many reasons you should switch to Android
