r/F1TV

Commercials? Really? OK fine you want to make money, nope, can’t be your only advertising your own shitty Arcade with only 5 or so locations. Can’t really tell since it flashes faster than a car on track at speed.
Once again, fine you want to make money but to not pause or tell the people what you’re doing it is messed up to us. You’re basically saying to the entire USA screw you we only want your money. Right now they were on grid, then shitty commercial and now all of a sudden with no warning we’re on track but why? Wtf is going on? Now the commercials are more frequent?!?! While typing this another fucking commercial?!?!?!? Let’s see where we come out. It ended with the hot lap mid sentence.
You guys completely crapped on us and now since you removed any other options like ESPN what else can we do besides nothing.

I’ll say it, screw you guys.

Rant over. To be clear only beef is with production and the direction of Apple with F1 if you don’t say anything everyone assumes it’s fine. No, it is not

If F1TV has some contract with him then please give him his own show so I can easily skip it.

Right now his contributions are closely mixed with people who actually have something interesting to say.

Jolyon Palmer, James Hinchcliffe, Ruth Buscombe, Lawrence Barretto... I‘m always curious about what they have to say and what their views are. With Montoya, all I want is for him to shut up. It gets worse the more I hear him.

Am I the only one who feels like that?

As always, I'd like to thank F1 again for treating its UK fans like suckers. Another Sky contract to broadcast F1 as an exception is a stab in the back for every F1 fan in the UK. Sky's exorbitant prices are turning thousands of fans away from F1 every day because we simply aren't idiots to pay almost £40 for monthly access to watch F1.

Watching the show costs £40,

bars like the London F1 Arcade charge £120 per person per seat, and the prices for race tickets alone are ridiculously expensive.

Good luck F1 changing one of the most beautiful Motorsport into money making shit entertainment.

I joined Apple TV and I see Formula 1 on it but don’t see the little button where you select drivers in multiview.
Do we still use the F1 TV app?

I'll unsubscribe right now and go back to piracy if this shit is normal now.

I have an F1 subscription in the US through AppleTV. I’m planning on going to Europe over the summer, will I be able to use my F1 subscription while there?

(in the US. only the US?)

They're for F1 races and properties, but they're still ads. They're during pre- and post- shows, not the race, but they're still ads.

AND THEY AREN'T EVEN GOOD. Advertise Sam Collins or something, not the race we just watched for the love of god

Edit: THREE sets of ads during the post-show so far. Two ads for the Miami Grand Prix. This is brain-dead, dead air would feel less insulting and annoying.

Also I would like to make it excessively clear that I am not watching appletv, I am watching the f1tv stream through the f1tv app.

Watching the Miami sprint live on f1tv on the GoogleTV f1tv app. The commentators keep getting interrupted by advertisements for other f1 products. Is anyone else experiencing this? This better not continue during the race.

Edited: I'm in the US paying through apple TV but watching on the f1tv app

The amount of botched off transitions they do on every show is painful to watch. Every time Betty Glover implies there's a transition to a clip she has to cut back to speaking again with an awkward 'Okey, let's...'. They gave her a script, so why do they leave her hanging, having to recover from such awful pauses. Someone has to be fired immediately.

I received an email earlier that said my f1tv subscription has been canceled because they cannot confirm my apple subscription (I am in the US). They say to contact apple who are beyond useless. I have spent over an hour trying to fix it. I finally gave up on apples help and reconnected my accounts but I assume it will not last long again. Anyone else having this issue and any suggestions? Thanks for any info.

Twice now they've interrupted pre race suddenly for ads for f1 arcade f1 unlocked and the vegas gp

Not sure what is going on but whoever is choosing what feed we are seeing is doing a terrible job. I hope the season won’t be like all line that.

What happened to this service. Sound cuts out. Volumes are off. And now we are getting commercials. And they aren’t even leading up to them they just cut in whenever. Jacques in the pit lane talking oops commercials. And it’s f1 commercials which make no sense when I’m literally watching f1. An ad for the Miami Grand Prix while I’m watching the sprint race? Seriously. What happened!?

I love having a driver’s insight but really, Montoya doesn’t bring anything to the table. He talks like a fan rather than an expert spouting unsubstantiated opinions that don’t make any sense. On the contrary, they’re more often than not right out silly.

I hope they don’t bring him back too much.
