More Details Revealed for Formula 1's OTT Platform, F1 TV

Back in February, Formula 1 released theirs over the top service subscription, F1 TV, during Mobile World Congress at Barcelona. Since then, the launch has been delayed a couple of months and everything quiets down until now. 

F1 TV is now planned to launch before May's Spanish Grand Prix, which is May 13th. And there are two service levels, the premium version being the F1 TV Pro and the less expensive F1 TV Access.

F1 TV Pro
This will feature live races and all 20 driver cameras. Subscribers will be able to personalize any way they like, you can mix and match different drivers' onboard cameras side-by-side, or a traditional broadcast feed with a driver's onboard camera, or just the traditional broadcast feed.

Subscribers can choose how and when to view the content. Initially launching only on the desktop, Apple, Android, and Amazon Fire mobiles and tablets versions will be launched shortly after. All of the practice, qualifying, and races will be offered, along with press conferences and pre- and post-race interviews. You can either watch them live or in the replay. 

Later in the season, lower tier FIA Formula 2 Championship, GP3 Series, and Porsche Supercup will be added to the service. 

Pricing will be offered on an annual basis of $70-$150, with monthly rates ranging from $8-$12 depending on the market. 

F1 TV Access
Only contains live race timing data, radio broadcasts, and extended highlights of each session.
