Great reporting today.
Calum Nicholas was a nice addition to the commentary in FP1.
In FP2, Palmer immediately identified the reason behind the crash of Doohan.
Their banter during the red flag made me chuckle out loud (nothing painfully forced like some others).

Was noticing this. They upped their game tremendously over the coverage in China. I still don't like Alex Jacques as lead (would much prefer Ben Edwards), but the insight was very useful.

Agreed that Calum Nicholas was an awesome addition to the team. Keep Sam Collins in pit lane and have Nicholas in the booth instead of DC and I think we're on to something. I prefer Hinch to Palmer but realistically he won't always be there and Palmer is very astute even if his vocabulary seems odd to American ears at times!

Think Chris Medland is doing a good job so far, is this F1TV cheaping out on airfares to fly all of the regular team in.

Oh it is a bigger problem and not just me getting error messages. I hope they fix it soon.

Turn of multiview in settings and try again worked for me

[MurMur80]

Now it works.

[MortenF1]

Works now! Phew

[jAnO76]

Yeah, only works with multiviewer off. And the stream is NOT natural 4K :-/

F1TV is all over the place today.

Anyone know why everytime I open the app on my TV I have to grab my phone, go to the website and enter a code in? Infuriating.

Alex Jacques hyperbole wearing thin. A whole monologue for Verstappen's final lap, which you just cannot do for such a poor race!

Why do the onboards have the sky sports commentary instead of the engine note?!

I have had a few dodgy moments with F1TV on Roku as well this season. Qualifying in Suzuka gave me an error of too many streams or something, but it was fine on the iPad. Something like that happened with the Australia GP as well.

Thankfully, I was able to watch the races, but I don't remember this from last season or the one before.

I found that as well by default when using Roku recently , and had to each time change the audio to natural sounds in the options. Hopefully this is just temporary and will be solved going forward?

My tv remembered it for 2 days only.
It's really frustrating.

It's infuriating and I seem to be the only one complaining about it. It constantly wants me to verify and login, so over it. The other issue is the STUPID interface, you press the equivalent of ENTER on your TV remote and every app in history it brings up the navigation bar to FFWD or Rewind, but F1TV it is to change the commentary. There's also MASSIVE lag, everything you do is so slow and delayed, you inevitably do it twice then that confuses it.

 

It's a good service content wise but the app itself is dead set a TEMU special, just ****ing awful in every respect, it needs a ground up rebuild.

I use this third party app for F1TV, it's better than the official one. Seems to have better latency too.

Works on Android TV/Google TV and Fire Sticks

Thanks for the recommendation. Kinda ridiculous that coders on a sidequest are creating better apps than the official staff

The best thing about watching the practice 1 hour later is that you can just fast forward Valsecchi. Such an irritating commentator.

He's one of my favourite characters in the whole world of broadcasting

Ok, no problem for me. As long as I can fast forward ;)

I like a hearing a Italian accent… But David ‘s is too much and then the excited tone… unbearable. It’s like a parody. First time ever on F1 I switched to the Dutch commentators.

[Mc_Silver]

Lando's onboard cam during Q3 was all over the place with lots of shattering and sound problems.
