    If you mean the new streaming F1 service from Liberty Media they have announced that it will now not be available until some time later in the season. Personally I think this is very disappointing & they should have got a much better grip on the planning once they had announced it.

    Hi sorry I should’ve been more clear it’s the new official f1 streaming service that I meant. I’ve got sky sports f1 on virgin media but the additional feeds sound great.

    I didn't think the F1 OTT streaming service would be available in the UK (legally) because it conflicts with Sky's broadcast contract. There is no way Sky would allow a cheaper alternative as they have paid a lot of money for exclusivity from 2019. I did read that Liberty and Sky were talking about Sky incorporating some of the content into their broadcasts, but it didn't say what the content was.

    Personally I'd be very interested in a service at the $8 to $12 price point, but I doubt we will see it legally available in the UK until Sky's contract is up in 2023.

    This is the official page about the new service but as you can see it's sparse on detail:
    https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/h...n-service.html

    There's nothing about the start date but this page talks about "early part of the season":
    http://www.motorsport-total.com/form...-2018-18022714

    The big unknown is how far Liberty will go in protecting subscription to the service in counties where there are existing streaming rights holders. It's possible that here in the UK you won't be able to sign up for it with a UK credit card so simply using a VPN won't help.

    Ah, if you’re happy to pay for it, it won’t be available to a U.K. IP address (due to the Sky rights).

    So you’ll need to sort out a VPN (and probably some sort of foreign payment method - a credit card or something).
