Atrocious. A year ago, it worked fine. But now, when casting, it keeps skipping/freezing for about 0.5 seconds, once EVERY 5-6 SECONDS. Cable never did that. Because of the latency, the picture quality is inconsistent at best. It takes 10-20% longer to watch a grand prix, and it just ruins the experience. Because it worked okay for the 2023 season, and our Internet and other devices are the same, we know it's an issue with the app, not our equipment/WiFi/Internet connection.

Hey there, on the F1 TV web app, your streaming quality defaults to Auto, and bases streaming quality on your internet connection.
Streaming quality can be impacted by the time of day, local bandwidth, internet provider, apps running on your device and the number of devices connected
If issues persist, please contact general@en.formula1.com

Very disappointing. The coverage of the races are subpar at best especially when compared to ESPN. The "restart" feature does not work. If for example, I watch a race to the end and then my roommate wishes to watch the same race but from the beginning the app will automatically restart where I left off. Extremely annoying and honestly surprising how far behind this app is from the likes of YouTube, ESPN, Netflix, etc. We will not be renewing our subscription.

The app is really good now. It just doesn't support earbud functions. So if you are say, watching while working out, and want to pause it, you have to go to your phone and do it. Of course it would be easiest to be able to tap my earbub and do that like every other media app there. Small things to a dev maybe, but with a paid service, I do expect some attention to detail.
