How F1TV changed the way we watch F1
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. Formula One cars snake around a racetrack track so blindingly fast that viewers need focal points — we need to know where to look, and to know what we’re looking for. F1 isn’t just a sport; it’s a high-octane obsession with perfection, where every bolt, every gear, every millisecond is tuned to scream excellence.
F1TV’s new customisable Multiview feature is the latest proof, dropping fans right into the driver’s seat—or, to be precise, several driver’s seats. Last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix was the test run, and boy, did it deliver: I experienced a true 4K stream so crisp, I could see the raindrops across Lando Norris’s front wing, and the stress in his mother’s eyes when the McLaren driver went off the track. What’s the price for this front-row thrill? The standard F1TV pro cost is ₹2499/year, while the F1TV Premium package comes to ₹3650/year.
This is a significant hike from the Fancode option that exists for budget viewers — you can subscribe through Amazon Prime Video to watch each race for ₹25 — but the most glamorous sport in the world has never been one for budgets. F1TV Premium is now delivering a better motorsports viewing experience than we’ve ever had. I’ve always been wary of ‘premium’ services offered up by broadcasters, but this time it really is something special.
It’s not just about the visuals—it’s about control. Enter Multiview, the feature that turns your screen into a command center: the main feed blasts the race, the onboard cams jam you into your favourite (and your most feared) driver’s cockpist, live timing ticks by like a metronome on steroids, the circuit map shows you where to look. You can have 2/3/4 screens, in a configuration of your choosing.
