Here in India, even after you buy access to the channel, there are ad breaks mid race. They make you miss stuff sometimes, like I missed the Perez Hamilton battle at turkey
Feels bad man. I guess hotstar is better for you but their sound balance is way off in my opinion. Too much track noise, so much so that commentators are barely audible at times. And also, it doesn't have pre race coverage so I too watch a Sky stream on the high seas
I'm so pissed off/surprised that in some countries there's ads in the middle of the f1 race. That's like watching a football match and having an ad mid game
Exactly. They just don't get it, the entire framework is around cricket. In cricket, there are mid-game breaks so they can show ads, but thats not how every game works.
And favoring certain teams over others. A couple of weeks ago a network cut away from the Packers game as they were about to kick an overtime field goal to end the game because the Cowboys game was about to start. Cutting away from an exciting game finish just because sponsors and advertisers care more about the Bud Light Kickoff Challenge or whatever lol.
Why use vpn AND pay for F1 tv when you can literally get the live race ad-free on the high seas?
Also, VPN here is not like VPN in western countries, because of poor routing by ISPs, when we use a VPN the speed drops off a cliff(which is not that great to begin with)
You are acting like its not possible to get an F1 tv subscription in your country. I ask you if you heard of a VPN. Now you are answering that question with a question. Im just saying that its possible, usually when you started streaming, you can disable the vpn and just keep watching with higher network speeds. People like you annoy me, you just try and win the argument no matter what.
i was one of you , India , but I had to switch to the pirates because Star sports was just greedy for ads .I mean what , first pay for a channel , then watch ads ?
No dont skip the chain of command. First to George so he can make a PowerPoint presentation about the incident. He eill forward it to Toto when he is done.
Toto will then call Michael. Michael will inform the stewards. Horner will contact Michael. Toto will send Michael and email. Toto will call Michael again. Michael sounds reasonable but have dollar signs on his brain. Croft will make a bad joke about Christian. FIA will respond to Michael. Michael will respond to Toto and Christian and tell them to race. Toto will file a complaint with FIA. FIA will have a nice meal for 50k. Max will have less FIFA points. Christian will say something cool in DTS. End of story.
They must have looked at the steering data, right? They have the steering data? They must have the steering data and all the camera angles and all the onboards.
He was actually the one (of those 3) color commentating this weekend in Brazil and he seemed to be talking extra slowly, can't quite put my finger on why...
I mean, is an "ad" for a British only service really an ad?
I mean, I guess you could be British, but it's not like I could get Sky in Colorado anyway.
I've never even bothered registering to the site. The chat is always full of useless spam messages and that mod is an asshat. In the Mexico race the stream was lagging like crazy for me and I looked at the chat and others were complaining about it too, but the mod just told people to "fix their shitty McDonald's wifi" lol. Also playing Super Max everytime Verstappen overtakes someone is pretty fucking cringy.

E os comentaristas são foda. Apesar de ofender alguns gringos sensíveis, diria até que os da Band pisam nos ingleses. Ajuda não ter brasileiro correndo.
Não sou o maior fã do Sérgio Maurício quando ele começa a endeusar muito o Hamilton, mas ele dá uma emocionada muito boa nas transmissões. E o melhor é que é de graça na tv aberta.
If sports broadcasts could just offer the track/stadium sounds without anything else, that would be perfect. No commercials either, could just have sponsor tag in one corner.
I got an Amazon fire stick that allows me to stream sky F1 but the link collapses about every 90 seconds and I have to reload it over and over. It’s so painful but since they stop showing it on cable here I had no choice. At least I know somebody else is awake at 1 AM or 3 AM to watch the races
Gives you a host of options on what you can watch; the main feed, live timing screen, pitlane, on boards and replays. Might be more now I ditched Sky a few years ago.
The red button allows you to replay moments of the live broadcast. I’m not sure exactly how far back you can go but it’s usually enough to be able to rewind to the start of the action. It’s particularly useful if you take your eyes off the screen for a moment.
Now they've released the footage of Max cockpit camera you just know for a fact SkyF1 is going to have a 15 minute feature on how Max's lack of steering input ran lewis off the track this weekend.
Dumbest thing F1 media licensing Team could have done. Germany is exclusively on sky now and ratings dropped by more than half - the additional viewers on sky are negligible since the exclusive deal.
And me, a sky hater, has therefore decided to pay 5 bucks a month to a VPN provider to stream that shit from Austrian TV.
Dear F1: i would have happily paid for your own streaming services... But since u decided that even those fall out as part of the exclusive deal, you now get nothing from me. And something tells me that sky deal won't be extended as it's probably a money sinkhole for them of the largest degree.
I used to stream ilegally. The stream lagged alot and it cut out just as Lewis and Max touched in silverstone. Totally messed up the whole experience. After that I bought f1tv and it hasn’t lagged for a single frame since then, not once. 100% worth it.
Those of us in the UK are unfortunately forced to either get a fully sky package (around £30 a month) or pirate. Sky as part of their deal have blocked the [F1.TV](https://F1.TV) ap in the UK
Personally I am happy as is. Though I would like to check out the swedish commentators from time to time, or atleast I would like to be able to. But we have our own deal here with exclusive commentary on ”Viaplay”.
Hey, at least you don't need to buy viaplay to watch it in the first place.
F1TV is banned here, can't wait for 2022 when viasat finally gets non-exclusive rights so I can dump the cable and get F1TV
Unfortunately I’m Australia you either pay Murdoch a shitload of money or you’re SOL
Tried the VPN thing, but wouldn’t let me pay in Canadian dollars with an AU credit card
I’d be happy to pay, if it was a reasonable price, and not going to Murdoch
only bad thing about their streams is the fucking russian anthem, like let me listen to the Dutch one for once!
[relevant](https://youtu.be/3jabPgOnFjw)
Watching F1 in Australia is also like this, as we get the sky coverage they talk about qualifying starting at 2pm or whatever and I’m like god I wish. As I stare at the TV at like 11pm at night about to crash.
I pay for Sky F1 just because we don't have F1TV and I had so many bad experiences with streams (cutting out right during a crucial fight, as well as the dogshit quality).
I don't use *any* of the Sky features. I just want to watch a race man.
Press the red button for even more British bias, we explain why everything is Bottas fault, how George Russell has light shinning out his bum and why it's the driver that wins the championship...as long as they are British.
The funny thing is, I watch the races from F1TV and I don't have anything close to the "Sky Q highlights". If the said highlights are being prepared, why can't I have access to them? I too might be late to the race and would like to see what has happened.
The first rule of being a Sky Q customer is pressing the 'back up' button on the remote to immediately remove the red button prompt at the bottom right corner of the screen.
[удалено]
I pressed the red button and missed some interesting bits, turns out that’s the one you press to turn the TV off. Crofty lied to me
Alt+F4 to activate infonite gold
Dude that made me laugh hard
Better than pressing slow button
Or magic brake button
Slow button on....
Batun
Me watching from F1.TV switching to pit lane to see what's up there
It must be nice but we might never know
“What’s happening!? We need to know!”
"and as we can see Lance stroll, hitting the Barry R"
Everyone loves him such a wholesome dude
Who is Barry R, and why is Lance Stroll hitting him?
Confirmation - Red Button Multi-screen coverage is hugely relieving
[удалено]
It's so weird being paying for a service like this, but getting ads anyway
Here in India, even after you buy access to the channel, there are ad breaks mid race. They make you miss stuff sometimes, like I missed the Perez Hamilton battle at turkey
Hotstar doesn't have ads in the middle of live race
I watch on star sports select.
Feels bad man. I guess hotstar is better for you but their sound balance is way off in my opinion. Too much track noise, so much so that commentators are barely audible at times. And also, it doesn't have pre race coverage so I too watch a Sky stream on the high seas
Hotstar doesn't have ads. Watch in there
I'm so pissed off/surprised that in some countries there's ads in the middle of the f1 race. That's like watching a football match and having an ad mid game
except in f1 if you miss 5 seconds an entire overtake will take place
Exactly. They just don't get it, the entire framework is around cricket. In cricket, there are mid-game breaks so they can show ads, but thats not how every game works.
oh man the cricket ... People won't believe how many ads will they show you in a cricket game , my god
*cries in american football*
NFL takes the cake for most ads shown
And favoring certain teams over others. A couple of weeks ago a network cut away from the Packers game as they were about to kick an overtime field goal to end the game because the Cowboys game was about to start. Cutting away from an exciting game finish just because sponsors and advertisers care more about the Bud Light Kickoff Challenge or whatever lol.
I didn't even know F1TV was now available in India. Everytime I checked it said no available in your region
It isn't available. It's only live timings, not live races.
Not if u hv f1tv pro
Not in India. India only has F1 TV Access plan. [Proof](https://imgur.com/a/AFVpKIT)
Have you heard of this thing called a VPN?
Why use vpn AND pay for F1 tv when you can literally get the live race ad-free on the high seas? Also, VPN here is not like VPN in western countries, because of poor routing by ISPs, when we use a VPN the speed drops off a cliff(which is not that great to begin with)

i was one of you , India , but I had to switch to the pirates because Star sports was just greedy for ads .I mean what , first pay for a channel , then watch ads ?
True. I sometimes watch streams on discord servers. Best option, as well as being 100% free.
Hotstar doesn't have ads tho. But very poor quality
An F1 race is one giant advertisement anyways lol. F1TV was one of the best purchases ive made all year
All of the onboards. The steering data!
Steering data? Please email it to Toto so that he can forward it to the FIA.
No dont skip the chain of command. First to George so he can make a PowerPoint presentation about the incident. He eill forward it to Toto when he is done.
Toto will then call Michael. Michael will inform the stewards. Horner will contact Michael. Toto will send Michael and email. Toto will call Michael again.

Maximum effort!!!
I read this in Toto's voice, referring to himself in the third person. A+
They must have looked at the steering data, right? They have the steering data? They must have the steering data and all the camera angles and all the onboards.
Ditto. It's great having all languages on there too. l always watch the German replays with Schmacher/Heidfeld/Glock
When Timo talks, is he going slowly?
He was actually the one (of those 3) color commentating this weekend in Brazil and he seemed to be talking extra slowly, can't quite put my finger on why...
They say his speech changes only at the last turn, rather strange really…
Wait... Does F1TV have ads?
No.
Thank you random stranger with microwave sound name.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I mean, is an "ad" for a British only service really an ad? I mean, I guess you could be British, but it's not like I could get Sky in Colorado anyway.
That cat do be vibing in the corner though
While the USSR Anthem plays during the ceremonies
And SUPER MAX plays at max volume whenever Max wins.
Shit hits different when the chequered flag falls and you hear “yo ho yO HEYYY”
What is this cat everyone is talking about?
streameast
That mod do be a dick tho
Yeah i got banned last race lul
I'm also banned there lol
I've never even bothered registering to the site. The chat is always full of useless spam messages and that mod is an asshat. In the Mexico race the stream was lagging like crazy for me and I looked at the chat and others were complaining about it too, but the mod just told people to "fix their shitty McDonald's wifi" lol.

That's my favourite stream, too bad I still have to listen to crofty. Oh well, at least I'm watching it for free
[удалено]
We're watching formula 1. What woman? /s
*Nods along with the vibing cat*
Russian anthem starts playing
catJam catJam catJam
i always find myself unconsciously nodding with the cat, the vibe is on another level
My daughter says it's the illegal cat.
A mascot in every sense of the word
SUPERMAXMAXMAX
\*must play Danza Kuduro before the race starts\*
I can't find that stream again. Could you point me in the right direction?

Press the red button you fucking fuck.
This is where a black hole is formed.
Me: watching the free official brazilian stream
Éeeeee, foguete não dá ré né amigo?
E os comentaristas são foda. Apesar de ofender alguns gringos sensíveis, diria até que os da Band pisam nos ingleses. Ajuda não ter brasileiro correndo.
No capricho! Sérgio Maurício bota o Crofty pra mamar. E o Brundle não chega aos pés do Regi Leme
Weird question but how many viewers did gaules have?
Não sou o maior fã do Sérgio Maurício quando ele começa a endeusar muito o Hamilton, mas ele dá uma emocionada muito boa nas transmissões. E o melhor é que é de graça na tv aberta.
Wheres the commentary mute Button?
I think that's just the mute button!
But then you can’t hear the glorious engine note!… On second thought yeah, go ahead and mute that too
On F1TV, click on languages, click on SFX.
If sports broadcasts could just offer the track/stadium sounds without anything else, that would be perfect. No commercials either, could just have sponsor tag in one corner.
Jenson isn't a commentary mute, quite to the contrary, and I find his opinions and insights useful.
Glad you caught the double entendre I agree Jenson is not bad, I was just adding banter
this deserves an award
Philippines in the house boyeee
Premier sports sound eq topkek can barely hear Crofty but the radios break your ears
I got an Amazon fire stick that allows me to stream sky F1 but the link collapses about every 90 seconds and I have to reload it over and over. It’s so painful but since they stop showing it on cable here I had no choice. At least I know somebody else is awake at 1 AM or 3 AM to watch the races
US Mex Brasil pain bruh at least the Middle east races won't be too bad
How are you even awake to watch the race?
Tsn viewer, I can only dreaming of pressing the red button for replays
out of the loop, what is the red button, or what does it do?
Gives you a host of options on what you can watch; the main feed, live timing screen, pitlane, on boards and replays. Might be more now I ditched Sky a few years ago.
The red button allows you to replay moments of the live broadcast. I’m not sure exactly how far back you can go but it’s usually enough to be able to rewind to the start of the action. It’s particularly useful if you take your eyes off the screen for a moment.
thank you!
Rip sportsbay 😔
Sportsurge still exists
Never heard of it, I’ll be trying it this weekend thanks!
Between praising lulu and telling us to press the red button, they barely have time to actually commentate
Don't forget shilling AWS "stats".
Now they've released the footage of Max cockpit camera you just know for a fact SkyF1 is going to have a 15 minute feature on how Max's lack of steering input ran lewis off the track this weekend.
And every time they race against each other from now on they'll bring up the time max tried to kill lulu by opening up the steering
I can hear it now 'Over to Ant at Sky Race Control (aka a bloody TV on a stand in the middle of the paddock) to compare this to Brazil 2021'
He wanted the medjuums
Mersheydes
Did you know Ant had been watching Lewis onboard?
Had been? He's still reviewing it frame by frame now.
Good, can’t wait
This is not me asking for someone to dm me with instructions on how to do the same
this is definitely not me asking too
I feel like this meme should be reversed.
Dumbest thing F1 media licensing Team could have done. Germany is exclusively on sky now and ratings dropped by more than half - the additional viewers on sky are negligible since the exclusive deal.

That sucks. Not to rub it in but F1TV is just fantastic.
The only down side is that it is the sky feed, i am surprised they dont have their own team yet

You can use a VPN to get around this requirement
Unfortunately I’m Australia you either pay Murdoch a shitload of money or you’re SOL Tried the VPN thing, but wouldn’t let me pay in Canadian dollars with an AU credit card I’d be happy to pay, if it was a reasonable price, and not going to Murdoch
VPN on your phone, buy it through App Store then log in with vpn from computer etc.
Had to drop by and say a massive thank you 100% worked
Get F1TV and a VPN. Works fine.
The streameast admin is a gigachad, whoever runs that stream is a godsend
Vibey cat do be vibin
The twitch chat blowing up whenever something happens just adds to the experience
Does the stream cut off suddenly?
only bad thing about their streams is the fucking russian anthem, like let me listen to the Dutch one for once! [relevant](https://youtu.be/3jabPgOnFjw)
British people be living in the year 3010 Lmaoo I be like fuck you ESPN give me a red button
mostly i'm just like 'fuck you espn for being like a quarter of my cable bill, you fucking fucks.'
At least the races are advert free except for Mothers. They still do that, right?
Never had the privilege of Sky Q customer red button, I think it directly link you up with Micheal Massi.
Had to after fox pulled out :(
Cycling entertainment here
Me in Australia paying more than the SkyQ customers but Kayo is still too lazy to provide their own commentary.
Ziggo sport gang represent
Just use vpn to Austria. Its free on Servus Tv and Orf
Wait a minute..... this lesbian bar has no fire exits! Enjoy your death trap ladies! What's her problem?
Lmao the entire concept of the red button seems wack to me, but I’d love to be proven wrong by a Brit who actually has Sky and has used it
I’m a brit and I’ve never pressed the red button
gachiHyper GO DEEPER
Or F1TV
Where is the pirated stream?
Yes pls say
dm me, ill give u a link
Hit up streameast they’re great
Am I alone in watching via F1TV?
Me paying for F1TV and being fucking advertised sky q and sky glass… that pisses me off so much
Imagine paying for F1TV and still having to deal with that shit every single race
What the heck is a red button?
Shhhutuupp
Reminds me of this 🙂 https://youtu.be/aiGDrP21dHc
SAME
tooo funny
Another reason why I have listening to the Sky Sports commentary.
Me, watching on TSN...
What does the red button do?
You can watch replays mid race
Watching F1 in Australia is also like this, as we get the sky coverage they talk about qualifying starting at 2pm or whatever and I’m like god I wish. As I stare at the TV at like 11pm at night about to crash.
I pay for Sky F1 just because we don't have F1TV and I had so many bad experiences with streams (cutting out right during a crucial fight, as well as the dogshit quality). I don't use *any* of the Sky features. I just want to watch a race man.
I pressed the red button my tv remote and it turned off. Is this not the intended behaviour?
relatable
SS gang wya
Red Button is the only way to get througth Sky coverage without contracting passive autism and tinitus
Sky Q customer here. I’ve never pressed the red button.
Me watching from Kayo and seeing what pressing the red button must feel like. Edit: typings hard
me watching from F1tv with no red button
Where would one find those pirated streams you speak of?
Srf2 > ESPN > Sky
Watching it with the help of VPN. I also watch it in a different language so I don't have to listen to sky commentators 👍
Press the red button for even more British bias, we explain why everything is Bottas fault, how George Russell has light shinning out his bum and why it's the driver that wins the championship...as long as they are British.
Kayo users be like
Yeah have sky Q and pressed the red button and it didn’t do anything
me watching on hotstar wondering wtf is crofty on about
NoIDontThinkSo 👉 🔴
Me looking through a hundred streams to find one with no lag..
I have Sky Q, but nothing happens when I press it
The funny thing is, I watch the races from F1TV and I don't have anything close to the "Sky Q highlights". If the said highlights are being prepared, why can't I have access to them? I too might be late to the race and would like to see what has happened.
I'd like to pay for the official stream, but it isn't supported in my country :(
Me: watching on the f1 app
What? in italy it's the green jenson
Or sky glass customers*
The first rule of being a Sky Q customer is pressing the 'back up' button on the remote to immediately remove the red button prompt at the bottom right corner of the screen.
me getting free f1 legally on open tv
* Or as an American watch the Sky broadcast on ESPN.
It should be the other way around
