TV –
The award-winning F1 TV is getting bigger with the launch of F1 TV Premium, a new premier service that invites fans to take a step into the heart of the action. With the ability to watch the race in 4K Ultra HD/HDR, along with a new personalised Multiview feature available on select devices, watching F1 at home or on the go has become more immersive than ever.
F1 TV Premium allows fans to fully immerse themselves in the F1 weekend with a host of features. Viewers can watch every F1 Grand Prix, Sprint, Qualifying and practice session live in 4K Ultra HD/HDR at home, with F2, F3, F1 ACADEMY and Porsche Supercup sessions also available to watch live on the platform.
At launch, F1 TV Premium will be available to purchase on Chrome web browser, Apple iOS, Apple TV and Roku. Premium subscribers can watch F1 on up to six devices simultaneously and the new Multiview feature, initially available for customers on Apple iOS, Chrome web browser, and TVOS compatible devices, allows fans to watch all their favourite elements of the broadcast – including the F1 live feed, onboard cameras and live timing pages together on one screen.
F1 TV Premium marks the biggest upgrade to F1 TV in several years. Building on the success of F1 TV Pro, which allows fans to watch every angle of Grand Prix like a Team Principal, F1 TV Premium goes one step further to create the ultimate viewing experience for fans.
F1 TV ushered in a new era for watching Formula 1 with the F1 TV Pro and F1 TV Access subscriptions. F1 TV Pro offers fans a high quality, ad-free service that includes live feeds of every session at every event, featuring driver-on-board cameras, team radio and in-depth data alongside exclusive behind the scenes content. F1 TV Access provides a simplified alternative, giving fans access to live race timing data and full race replays.
In 2025, fans tuning in will once again be treated to a world-class broadcast fronted by the talented F1 TV team. Hosted by presenter Laura Winter, six-time IndyCar race winner and Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame Inductee James Hinchcliffe, and F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto. They are joined by commentators Alex Jacques and former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer, as well as former Head of Race Strategy – at what is now Kick Sauber – Ruth Buscombe-Divey, 2012 GP2 series champion Davide Valsecchi, European Le Mans Series Champion Alex Brundle, and Technical Analyst Sam Collins.
Ian Holmes, Chief Media Rights and Broadcasting Officer at Formula 1, said: “Since its launch, F1 TV has evolved to become one of the most sophisticated streaming platforms in sports. F1 TV Premium further elevates the viewing experience by allowing fans to create a personalised platform that enables them to become fully immersed in every incident, wheel to wheel battle and victory across all 24 races. This new service signifies our continued commitment to improve our content offering for our fans and creating an experience which is worthy of their passion.”
