I think it is tied to the racing license, don't quote me on that.

edit: i am wrong all along, this is not a world championship...

article 112 of the sporting code:

FIA said:
As far as the application of this Code is concerned, everycompetitor or driver who has obtained their licence from an ASN takes the nationality of that ASN for the period of validity of that licence.
All drivers, irrespective of the nationality of their licence, participating in any FIA World Championship event, shall retain the nationality of their passport in all official documents, meetings, information bulletins and prize-giving ceremonies.

List of world championships:
FIA Formula One World Championship
FIA World Rally Championship
FIA World Endurance Championship
FIA World Touring Car Cup
FIA World Rallycross Championship

So... if the championship is not a world championship, it is the license country.

In a multiple citizenships case, the pilot choses which of the multiple he retains, even if it is not the one of his license. (a Franco-swiss coulld retain swiss despite having a french license).

This French site says the F1 streaming service will launch on Thursday: http://www.msports.fr/f1-service-f1-tv-pro-quil-faut-savoir/

The system will be set up for the Australian Grand Prix and should be launched with great fanfare during the media day of the weekend, Thursday.

This German site says it'll launch on Friday: http://www.autobild.de/artikel/formel-1-freie-trainings-im-free-tv-13389329.html

Might just be a matter of time zones and all. *fingers crossed*

zeknurn · Mar 20, 2018

They're cutting it close if true. I wouldn't expect it to work at all for this weekend.

Aiii · Mar 20, 2018

It will work just fine.

chadskin · Mar 20, 2018

Just found this Q&A with Formula One's director of digital Frank Arthofer: https://www.racefans.net/2018/03/19/new-formula-one-sport-f1-tv-full-qa/

And we're in the process of beta trialling it now with the goal to launch for Australia on March 22nd.

So, Thursday.

AlsoZ · Mar 20, 2018

There will be plenty of kinks to iron out, as with pretty much every new service that includes massive streaming and gateway apps on various devices.

Maximus Odinson · Mar 20, 2018

I expect a pretty barebones version with lots of bugs for the first few months.

Dutch · Mar 20, 2018

I'm so ready for another year of Ferrari letting me down.

Technically all the big boy teams (Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, maybe by now Renault and the respective engine manufacturers) are letting us down.

Same here. That said they better make the cost appropriate for this.

Burai · Mar 20, 2018

Ferrari have special ways of letting you down though. It's in their DNA.

DrM · Mar 20, 2018

Small commercial tv bought F1 rights for my country and this means that ORF will be under blackout for the race duration. They can go and f*** themselves.

You, Brot and me should start a support group.

Ferrari at least try changing who's in charge once in a while.

The "next-year-will-definetly-be-the-year"-club.

You know, at least we can pretend that Ferrari is the fastest team when they're doing low-fuel glory laps in FP again.

Krypta · Mar 20, 2018

I think Ferrari are more like Liverpool. Arsenal are more of a McLaren.

Yeah, those silver trophies are looking mighty fine.

Brot said:

So what you're saying is we should start awarding the championship based on fastest laps in FP.

I agree.

Dutch, come back to the NFL thread. Your Browns need you.

Yeah, it hasn't been uncommon in past years for them to take months just to get the on-screen race graphics working properly.

jey_16 · Mar 20, 2018

You guys think being a Ferrari fan now is rough, the 90's were worse

Still remember going to school after the '97 Jerez race and being the only Ferrari supporter in my group of friends

You can now subscribe to F1 TV:
https://sit.formula1.com/en/subscribe-to-f1-tv-pro.html

For Europe it's 7.99€ a month or 64.99€ for the whole season. I tried to log in with my account tho but it didn't work...

EDIT:
Oh wow it seems the price is different depending on the country?
France - €18.99 Per Month
Switzerland - €10.99 Per Month
Germany - €7.99 Per Month
US - $11.99 Per Month
Venezuela - $8.99 Per Month

Wat. Why would France cost twice that of Germany?

chadskin · Mar 20, 2018

Looks like it's just some sort of test page, given the sit.formula1.com URL, and not fully live yet.

chuckddd · Mar 20, 2018

Well, they do have 30 more hours to figure it out. Those poor bastards are probably coding around the clock at this point.

chadskin · Mar 20, 2018

AlsoZ said:

TV rights fuckery I suppose. F1's only airing on free TV in Germany this year while in France they probably don't want to/can't undercut too much the pay TV services they still have existing contracts with. Hopefully that'll level out over time.

Sounds about right.

Who's got a German friend? lol

Overdoziz · Mar 20, 2018

Welp looking forward to the 20 euro a month price in The Netherlands

Deleted member 16452 · Mar 20, 2018

$99 for a full year in the US, I'm about to do it.

edit: nvm I can't actually do anything after I register.

Have they even said who is doing commentary?

Deleted member 3335 · Mar 21, 2018

8€ is quite the deal, I would say.

chuckddd · Mar 21, 2018

This is new.

Deleted member 11426 · Mar 21, 2018

Won't really change much besides maybe keep it closer.

DrM · Mar 21, 2018

They should at least give a one session for free, just to check how will things work.

AlsoZ said:

The channel holding the F1 rights in france costs 19 euros a month under first year during private sales (24 usually for a first year service, 40 for the poor chaps who don't have the guts to negotiate a permanent 24/month).

I guess that's why, they are the same price as the channel (18.99 a month). To me, 15 euros is the cutoff, so... no yearly subscription for me.

I may have to seek a foreign friend in order to get a less expensive option... if it works in all the countries.

Staab · Mar 21, 2018

Reasonable price everywhere but France.
But yeah, I imagine Canal+ had liberty media by the balls there, they have a pretty good coverage and will provide the worldwide French commentary...

Less attractive for sure but still beats having no other solution if you ask me.

Konosuke · Mar 21, 2018

Are they going to add another DRS sobre to the other circuits as well? If only Bottas could bring the fight to Lewis...

Deleted member 11018 · Mar 21, 2018

I tried to register, and whatever the country, there is only F1 access available... anyone had any luck with a F1 Pro sub ? the link to the schedule is broken, so i don't know if it is because they are past their "beta" subscription or if it is just not available for me. [edit: got my answer... launch means subscribtion as well, silly me]
Belgium is 7.99, could be a good option :P

Fox Mulder said:

English commentary will be from Sky F1. German from RTL.

Dan · Mar 21, 2018

I think that new DRS zone is to allow drivers to get close to each other by the end of the lap to try a proper overtake on the start finish straight.

AlsoZ · Mar 21, 2018

Time to guess which other tracks will get extra DRS and on which straights.

zeknurn · Mar 21, 2018

Good news everyone!
Ex-Formula 1 driver Pastor Maldonado will race in the 2018/19 FIA World Endurance Championship season for the DragonSpeed team.

This is pretty common and true of other similar services in other sports. NFL Game Pass, for example, is cheaper in countries where it's less popular. Although, I'd be surprised if that narrative is true of the above example seeing as Germany is the cheapest (I assume F1 is still really popular there?).

xrnzaaas · Mar 21, 2018

Pastor in an LMP1 car? This will be interesting. :)

Yes, and to test out the service via VPN...

It was over 4 million per race last year. For context, the height of Schumacher's domination pulled twice that number.

Haha yup

sixclix · Mar 21, 2018

€7.99 in Belgium or €65 for the entire year? That's very reasonable, surprisingly. Where do I sign up?!?
