Due to end of ESPN/Disney contract it's all up in the air for TV/streaming coverage in US next year.

It came in a Hulu package. You had to buy Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN together.
You could buy a ESPN app but F1TV was cheaper. US always rips off the customer
and it's worse now

USA has really become 'value for shareholder' ahead of anything else.  It's been bleeding into other countries far too much :(

The US isn't partial to whom it rips off.  Wait till people here start dying
when they lose their healthcare because the billionaires need a tax cut

NBC made it plain that they dropped F1 because of the availability of F1 TV. I wonder if any streaming deal will include making F1 TV unavailable over here.

Maybe we'll be back to the old days of watching races on bootleg rebroadcasts in Polish or something.   :(

That's what I'm afraid will happen here. F1TV will be blocked as part of any new contract
