Access also includes live telemetry, all 20 driver onboard cameras and team radio channels, as well as in-depth pre- and post-race analysis and an extensive content library containing more than 2,000 hours of archive footage.

Several new features have been introduced on the platform for 2023, including the ability for fans to continue watching any content that has been paused across any device; the option to watch races live or from the start; and a search function.

Fans across India will also be able to watch Formula 2 and Formula 3, and Porsche Supercup, with Jehan Daruvala and Kush Maini representing the country in F2.

Ian Holmes, Director of Media Rights and Content Creation at Formula 1, said: “We are delighted to launch F1 TV for our fans in India. With Formula 1’s growing global footprint, it is vital that our fans all around the world can watch and enjoy the drama and excitement of Formula 1.
