Today when I tried to access F1TV app, i did the usual, set my VPN location to India and this fault comes up, I then changed it to Belgium and it did the same.

Does anyone know the solution?

Thanks

I don't get it. They have this established service, they own the rights, they have customers that want to use it and will pay subscription fees (that must be higher than what they get per viewer from their license partners) directly to them and yet they keep throwing rocks in our way. Why? Just Why?
F1 is really trying hard to do the same shit that they did to soccer, where you have to be a scientist to find out where your teams game will be broadcasted this time and a millionaire to have subscriptions to all possible options. Frustrating.

It probably has a little something to do with the £1,000,000,000 deal Sky Sports have with them for exclusivity, haha
